Australia ( Gene Simmons - KISS Rock band -sparked outrage with anti-Muslim comments )

 Legendary rock star, Gene Simmons of KISS, in Australia, calls Muslims “vile”

Legendary rock legend, Gene Simmons, sparked outrage in Australia earlier this month when he made anti-Muslim comments on a Melbourne radio station. ”This is a vile culture and if you think for a second that it’s willing to just live in the sands of God’s armpit you’ve got another thing coming,” the Israeli-born musician said on Melbourne’s 3AW radio.

The KISS bassist, who was in Australia on tour, continued on his anti-Muslim rant for over a minute stating that dogs are treated better than Muslim women, and insinuating that the West was under threat.

“Your dog, however, can walk side by side, your dog is allowed to have its own dog house… you can send your dog to school to learn tricks, sit, beg, do all that stuff – none of the women have that advantage,” Simmons stated.

Simmons said that the United Nations approach was not effective, suggesting that the west has to “speak softly and carry a big stick.”

Belizean Government Slams Construction Firm for Destroying Ancient Mayan Pyramid

GUATEMALA CITY – The destruction of a 2,300-year-old Mayan pyramid by a company constructing a highway near the Nohmul archaeological site in northern Belize is “unforgivable,” the government said.

The company moved bulldozers and backhoes through the Nohmul complex, practically wiping out one of the largest Mayan pyramids in the Central American country.

The destruction of the Nohmul archaeological site showed “total disregard for the cultural heritage” of Belize and was “cruel, ignorant and unforgivable,” the Tourism and Culture Ministry said in a statement released in Belmopan.

Media reports revealed the ancient pyramid’s destruction on Monday, but the private company involved in the incident has not commented.

Photos published in the press showed construction workers removing rocks and stones from the site for use in building the highway.

The construction company has a contract from the Belizean government to build a highway in Orange Walk district.

The Nohmul pyramid, which was constructed by the Mayans during the Pre-Classical Period, is near the border with Mexico and part of the Yucatan archaeological zone. EFE

NCRI - State Security Forces in Tehran have arrested 74 'thugs' in Tehran as part of the ongoing crackdown ahead of the June presidential election.
Greater Tehran's State Security Security commander Hossein Sajedinia told the state-run ISNA state-run news agency on May 16: "In a joint operation between Tehran's security forces and police the accused were first identified and then arrested.
"Expert police agents have arrested 74 thugs in the past 24 hours and turned them in to the judicial system.
Sajedinia said that 'thugs' were arrested in a 12-stage plan last year, and so far 150 people had been arrested in two stages of the security plan.
Meanwhile, 26 youths have also been arrested in Ahvaz on May 14 during raids on private homes. It is not known where the accused are being held.
The arrests are all part of a pre-election clampdown by paranoid rulers who fear a mass public uprising during the election in June.

TUCSON Az ( 64 Immigrants die in 8 months trying to cross the Hot Arizona Border ) Rape and Robbery

Fewer Immigrants Dying on Arizona Border
From Oct. 1 through May 1, 64 migrants died while trying to sneak across the border into the United States, down from 101 during the same period of fiscal 2012, according to official figures

TUCSON, Arizona – Deaths of undocumented immigrants in the Arizona desert are down 36 percent in the 2013 fiscal year, the U.S. Border Patrol said.

From Oct. 1 through May 1, 64 migrants died while trying to sneak across the border into the United States, down from 101 during the same period of fiscal 2012, according to official figures.

“The deaths have gone down, but as temperatures begin to rise in the desert, the dangers increase,” Andres Adame, spokesman for the Border Patrol Tucson Sector, told Efe.

The most recent fatality was last Saturday.

Border Patrol agents responded to a call about someone’s being lost in the desert near the village of Tres Puntos. When they reached the scene, they found one migrant alive and another, dead.

The survivor told the agents that the other man had fallen ill and been abandoned by the “coyote” they paid to guide them across the desert.

Agents in the Tucson Sector, which includes 90 percent of the Arizona-Mexico border, have carried out 203 successful rescues in the desert so far in fiscal 2013, 27 more than at the same point in fiscal 2012, when the number of rescues reached a record 634.

“That tells us this summer could be terrible for the migrants,” Adame said.

Daytime temperatures in the Arizona desert are already hovering around 100 F.

Heat, however, is not the only danger.

“We have seen an increase in the number of cases of robbery, of women raped,” Adame said, attributing the phenomenon to a takeover of migrant smuggling by organized crime.

Formerly, he said, most “coyotes” were men and women who lived in the border region.

“The dad, the mom and the kids dedicated themselves to the business of bringing immigrants across. Everybody was involved, it was a family business. But later we see a change when the drug cartels got involved,” Adame said.

For the cartels, migrants are merchandise, not human beings, he said.

Instead of men “making a little money for their families,” the coyotes are now “criminals who make a lot of money,” Adame said. EFE
