Jihadists Exploit Mental Illness For Attacks: Experts
Experts say the link between mental illness and so-called “lone wolf” terrorists is driven by the fact that unstable individuals are often influenced by events in the news, a fact that is exploited by global jihadist groups. Tuesday’s knife attack by a 27-year-old German shouting “Allahu Akbar” left one dead and three injured in Munich. But police quickly dismissed any jihadist motive, saying there were “strong reasons” to believe he acted “in a state of insanity”. Numerous similar cases have been reported around the globe. Man Haron Monis, who died along with two of his hostages at a Sydney coffee shop in December 2014, had a long history of mental illness. So did Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who killed a Canadian soldier near Ottawa’s parliament two months earlier. Experts say the connection is not unexpected, since the jihadist ideology offers a compelling narrative for dealing with feelings of marginalisation and paranoid fantasies of persecution that can exist among people with severe mental illnesses. “Each time society evolves, delusional people evolve. Delusional behaviour is always connected to the times,” said psychiatrist Daniel Zagury, who has acted as an expert witness at the trials of several alleged jihadists. “There have always been mystical delusions.

Bar Owners Appeal For Protection After Sharia Patrols Smash Up Premises, Announce Alcohol Ban
A number of bars in Denmark are reporting daily harassment by migrant sharia patrols who claim the streets they operate on are “sharia zones”, vandalise businesses, and even shout abuse at government ministers in the streets. The reports of violence and intimidation are coming out of Nørrebro, a suburb of the Danish capital Copenhagen, where the local trade association is considering employing “peace guards” to protect business and punters. Local bar and nightclub owners have reported having their windows smashed, customers attacked, and even death threats being made against them by “immigrant origin” Sharia patrols because they serve alcohol. Speaking out against the abuse, café owner Heidi Dyrnesli said of one recent attack: “Some men came into the bar and shouted that all guests had to leave. They said the area belonged to them and that Nørrebro is now subject to sharia and drinking alcohol is forbidden.” Businesses have been told they have to pay money to the migrant gangs in return for protection in addition to the alcohol bans, and failure to comply has led to death threats. One local speaking to Norwegian newspaper Nettavisen named as Mohammed Ahmed said some 60,000 kroner (£6,300) had been demanded of him and his business. Mr. Ahmed said the immigrant gangs were

Trump: Bezos Using WaPo to Make Sure I Don’t Get in to Protect Amazon on Taxes, Anti-Trust
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reacted to a report that the Washington Post has 20 reporters planning to dig into his life by arguing Post owner Jeff Bezos is using the paper “or political purposes to save Amazon, in terms of taxes, and in terms of anti-trust” on Thursday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel. Trump stated, [relevant remarks begin around 1:20] that the Washington Post “is owned as a toy by Jeff Bezos, who controls Amazon. Amazon is getting away with murder tax-wise. He’s using the Washington Post for power, so that the politicians in Washington don’t tax Amazon like they should be taxed. He’s getting absolutely away — he’s worried about me and he’s — I think he said that to somebody, it was in some article, where he thinks I would go after him for anti-trust, because he’s got a huge anti-trust problem because he’s controlling so much. Amazon is controlling so much of what they’re doing. … So, what they’re doing is he’s using that as political instrument to try and stop anti-trust, which he thinks I believe he’s anti-trust, in other words, what he’s got is a monopoly, and he wants to make sure I don’t get in. …
Trump: I ‘Like’ Giving Minimum Wage To the States
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stated that he likes “giving” the minimum wage “to states to determine” on Thursday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel. Trump said, [relevant remarks begin around 5:50] “[T]he only thing I am talking about a little bit is I want — I like the idea of the states looking at minimum wage, because if they don’t, New York is totally different than if you go to Alabama or Arkansas…you’re talking about a whole different cost of living. So, what’s good for New York is not necessarily good for some place else. .. So, I really like giving it to states to determine. Plus, they have to compete with each other, among other things, but they have to compete with other. So, I like the concept of giving it to states.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett
