Special Reports
Joanne Dow is a very old friend. She is a communications engineer, a veteran of the Genie days, and has a wealth of experience.
She has taken up the task of documenting the subject of Islam, particularly as regards women. I do not agree with everything she says. Joanne has both detractors and fans. Her diatribes tend to be long, and there are a lot of them, so I have decided to give them their own page.
I will fill in some past editions over time. I also update this in batches rather than daily.
I want to make it clear that I do not agree with everything she says, and my views of Islam vary depending on the country and the sect. Joanne generally concentrates on finding the most extreme positions, and it would be easy reading only her posts to get a false impression of the world situation. I'm willing to publish replies but they must be in a reasonable format, at reasonable length, and in language no more intemperate than she employs.
My Turkish friends in particular are appalled at her diatribes. I understand. Most Turkish intellectuals support the Turkish constitution which mandates a secular state, and would strenuously resist imposition of sharia and other strict interpretations of Muslim law. This is not what Joanne complains of. Those who have long known me know that I have a high regard for the Turkish Army. Turkey sent troops to our aid in Korea, and I for one will never forget that.
I post her diatribes because she finds incidents that ought to be thought alarming by everyone, Christian, Muslim, secular humanist, atheist, or indeed anyone civilized.
This is the first page; it got very long so I cut it.

JOANNE DOW'S DIATRIBES
Robert Spencer reports that "Iran sent 700 Somalis to fight Israel" as further evidence of the international character of the jihad, and of Sunni-Shi'ite cooperation against the infidels. The article he pointed to is at the link below.

And Robert reveals Iran has cast iron cajones. They make threats all the time against Israel. Israel makes a veiled threat to bomb Iran and they're off whining to the UN to censure Israel for it. I gotta give Ahmadinejad for having something better than brass ones. Follow up with the link below the Reuters link. It delineates one such threat to Israel.

"Germany "well on the way to becoming a Muslim state by 2050""
"If demographic trends continue. "German Population Plunge 'Irreversible,' Federal Stats Office Admits: Expected that one third of all European children will be born to Muslim families by 2025," by Gudrun Schultz for LifeSiteNews, with thanks to David:"
This is not good. Do remember that the jihadists desperately want their terrorist nukes. If they take over Europe by default, by out breeding the non-Mohammedans, they get the European weaponry, which is generally better maintained than their own. At least I'll be dead by then. But it is not a rosy picture for the future of the human race.
We need to get into space fast and be able to live there without major resupply from Earth within 30 years. We currently have all our eggs in one wicker basket through which the jihadists are poking swords, and worse.

And Robert reports that the US Military Academy has "discovered" that killing Osama bin Laden or Zawahiri would not really crimp the jihadists style, plans, or momentum. It's too far along and too spread out for that to stop it.

Pakistan moves to make it easier for a rape victim to obtain a conviction for her rapists. Quite predictably the Mohammedan Fundamentalists are outraged. Remember this the next time you hear a Mohammedan denying that the religion is wonderful for women. After all, Mohammedanism DOES allow a woman to see her rapist punished even before the laws changed. All she had to do is produce four witnesses willing to testify on her behalf. That's 8 women witnesses if all she has is woman witnesses. A woman is worth a half a man in court. There are moderate Mohammedans; there is no moderate Mohammedanism, I am afraid.

Michelle reports about the illegal immigration loop hole for religions workers. This seemingly legitimate R visa provision turns out to be a major path for terrorists and radicalizing imams into this country. Homeland Security agents busted 33 people on the 15th for abuse of this process and using forged documents.

Subject: Daily Diatribe
So I thought that today's meeting with the Pope to discuss marriage for priests was an indication that the religion might be considering a change. (I did not expect one. I expected consideration.) Pope Benedict XVI nixed the idea in no uncertain terms that Catholic priests were expected to remain celibate. Ah well, this may not show that some religions evolve. It does show that if and when they do it is a VERY slow process that seems to get slower the older the religion.

The agents at the point of entry caught him on the way in with nearly $79,000 and information on nuclear material and cyanide. It turns out he is unemployed to boot. I think they caught us another terrorist to be.
He IS a US Citizen. Robert Spencer points out that his name is very common among Nigerian Mohammedans.
And regarding the recent changes the TSA has made to train agents to spot "stress" one might note that the people manning the inspection desks for people entering the US via plane or ship are well used to detecting people with something to hide that should not come into the US or at least should require payment of import duties. They read most people like open books. People with those well trained instincts are one of the tools we need for TSA. Of course, with that special facility they should not be considered "cheap replaceable parts" who are paid close to minimum wage. It'll be expensive. But it can help to make the TSA experience much less annoying with the knowledge that the agents have some form of idea what they are doing rather than mindlessly going through the motions.

Of course, the Republicans have their collaborators, too, witting or unwitting.

Mr. issa is a very determined sympathizer for Syria and regularly spouts the Syrian and Hesbollah lines.

Robert Spencer points out a Patrick O'Hannigan article asking "Has anyone asked Tony Snow whether people in the president's inner circle learned lessons from the life of Mohammed"? This is a very interesting question. From reading Robert Spencer and Hugh Fitzgerald for several months now I can see where the Iraqi fratricide would be quite predictable for people with a good understanding of Mohammedanism. It's pretty clear they have not picked up an accurate picture from the "experts" (CAIR and other major Mohammedan organizations rather than scholars) they have had briefing them.
So I sent the following note to Robert suggesting he might let us know the sort of information that might be used to brief the President and a course for staffers to bring them up to speed as much as possible with what we're facing and why. ===8<--- "Has anyone asked Tony Snow whether people in the president's inner circle learned lessons from the life of Mohammed"?
Might I suggest that this is an interesting point that might be addressed constructively?
Suppose somebody in a dark suit approached you and said the government has two jobs for you. The first is to prepare a one hour talk with the President in which you will give him a briefing on what the Muslim holy books say about the jihadist terror complete with notes that staffers can pursue for verifying statements you make. Second prepare a one week course for the offices of the Presidency, Cabinet, and State Department.
What would your one hour discussion contain? What would the briefing documents contain, and what in general would the syllabus for the one week training program look like?
I ask because this is a briefing that the entire US should take. These jihadists are human, like we are, but their thought processes are from such a wholly different mind set than ours that they might as well be aliens from another star as far as our understanding them goes.
It is hard to imagine people so implacably against what seems to us here in the West to be the core needs for the human soul. But more have to learn. And we have to learn how to reach out to the coworkers we may have who have managed to "Americanize" and become more moderate.
{^_^} Joanne XXX, <address> reaches me as does <alternate address> even though the comments above were intended to suggest articles more than a direct response to me. May God be with you as you pursue your perilous journey. ===8<---
I hope he takes this article idea to heart and writes something up. It would be most interesting.

Iran REALLY wants a supply of Uranium. It is willing to, and indeed IS sending very sophisticated weapons to Somalia with a request for uranium in return. This is not good. Iran needs to be slapped down HARD. Bolton is the best shot we have to ensure this happens. It's a shame he will not be confirmed.
link http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/014070.php
Robert also points to this article as a reminder that it is quite unfair to say that the dominant form of Islamic teaching, which is salafi Islam, taught in mosques and universities, is peaceful. Tawfik Hamid, a former Mohammedan convert to Christianity has this to say about that idea he quite obviously considers preposterous. The article is by Michael Coren of the Canadian "National Post" about Mr. Hamid. His view is that of a former insider and is probably about as clear as any we can get. He is a former jihadist, or Islamic Terrorist if you want to phrase if that way.

And for today's last note I like LGF's take on this item about the UN investigating Israel - by putting an Israeli hater in charge, Peanut. Yes, the UN wants to put Jimmy "Israel is an Apartheid State" Carter in charge of the latest commission to investigate Israel. I repeat, so often it must be boring to others, "the UN is NOT our friend."

The Times of London has "uncovered" how Mohammedans treat Mohammedans "of
another sect." Sunnis are being killed in hospitals by Shi'ites often acting
under cover and payment from the Ministry of Health security. The price of a
human life in a Baghdad hospital is $600. And if a paid assassin find a
potential victim he will be provided with the drugs for the killing. The
Mahdi army is using hospitals as headquarters. They are not "targets" so
they are ideal as headquarters. Primitive and radical Mohammedans disgust
me. But by their logic they are sending the victims to Allah, which is the
goal of living after all. You would think they could show a little class
about it, though.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-2483899_2,00.html
I have to note that the Litvinenko assassination most likely shows that the
Russians are just as brutal and utterly lacking in class about dealing with
enemies as any Mohammedans. The Mohammedans do not have a monopoly of any
kind on brutality and casual disregard for human life.
It looks like this assassination is about to become a nasty political
incident for the Russians. Their relationship with the British is about to
disintegrate. Note the astounding Daily Mail article at the end of the link
of lists. This is developing FAST.

I made a comment to a nutcase liberal (avowed Communist) about how serious
the danger from the Mohammedans has become. He declared I was both lying and
exaggerating the danger. I made a prediction to him that would outline the
danger. The prediction was something like "Lebanon is going to be a
Mohammedan nation under strict Sharia law in under 5 years."
I may have vastly over estimated. Hezbollah is working at this moment to
undermine the Lebanese, primarily Christian, government and force it to
resign. They are resorting to mass demonstrations and thuggery to force the
issue so they can take over any new government that comes along. I do not
see the US reacting to this. If we do not react we will be sitting out the
jihad conquering the Southern Mediterranean areas and much of Europe before
the Crusades started to take it all back. If we act NOW we will not have the
same pain as we will have if we wait.
At any rate Lebanon is a textbook case demonstrating the reason for not
tolerating multiculturalism, particularly with Mohammedans. Not all
Mohammedans are radicals. But the percentage is high enough that it MAY be a
majority of all Mohammedans in the world. Various parts of the world are
more virulent than others. But even the so called moderates in the US
indulge in their little attempts with 6 imams to make it easier for future
attackers to get on airlines.

An Mohammedan terrorist (<sarcasm>which is assuredly a contradiction in
terms if you believe CAIR </sarcasm>) Robert Spencer posted about today has
me musing about some "wisdom" of my younger days. This "wisdom" is something
like this, "Recent converts to a religion are often it's most fervent
practitioners." This fits converts to Mohammedanism to a tee. One of the
most vocal Mohammedan ultra-extremists in England is a convert.
One of the London bombers was a recent convert. The American Taliban was a
recent convert. And so on. Here is yet another example from the place a
recent expatriate ham radio friend is living these days, the Philippines.
I wish Art well. But, I fear life there is going to get "hot" well before
life here in the US heats up. But, then, I am reminded that in this regard I
seem to underestimate, often egregiously. The liberals in this country could
easily make up for our being slow to welcome terrorism to our daily lives.

http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/014279.php
In a development I utterly distrust there is a move afoot, actually a
Mohammedan Demand, that there be a Mohammedan only prayer room at every
airport - so that the Mohammedans can collect in there, arrange their tools,
rehearse their arrangements, and walk out knowing they are well prepared to
"do" another airline. I hope, but doubt, that the authorities will simply
say, "No Way Achmed."

"Ahmed Tharwat is the host of a weekly show on Twin Cities Public Television
(Ch. 17). In "Ahmed Tharwat: Imams at airport should have known better" in
the Star Tribune (thanks to Paul), he ascribes the USAirways/Imam Rage
controversy to American "paranoia" -- and completely misrepresents the facts
of the case." Do read the carefully organized claims of Islamo-phobia
presented by this bozo. He ignores the fact that these imams went out of
their way with OTHER actions to create this incident. Also note that it was
a setup job. They were already in high gear complaining on TV about the
incident by the time one of the people who saw this happening managed to fly
and drive to her home.
Robert Spencer has a pointer to a nice write-up, too. It appears that this
attempt may backfire on the imams. After all, it is pathetically obvious
that Radical Mohammedans ARE a problem, arguably most Mohammedans are
radicals, and by a LARGE margin most Arabs are Mohammedans.

Robert Spencer has found an anti-Islamo-Fascist organization. But he does
not have much faith in its leader's ability to plan and lead such an
organization. His knowledge of the enemy is worse than even mine is, and I'd
not BEGIN to think I should lead such an organization. (That is to say, he's
not ignorant of Mohammedanism. But this self-proposed leader does not have a
firm grip on the data yet. There is a lot of room for growth as Robert sees
it.)

In another, "I know I'm right, my Qur'an told me so," article Robert Spencer
found we see nice peace loving Mohammedans who decided that it was time to
kill some Christians for Mohammed. This time it was in Ethiopia. The
Christians would not come out and be properly beheaded so the Mohammedan
peace lovers poured gasoline around the midnight religious service the
Christians were holding. "Fifteen individuals from the church suffered
severe knife wounds and six people died as a result - two priests, two
elderly women, and two men." It's all in the name of peace, to be assured.
Mohammedanism is a religion of peace. <insert bovine excrement scatology

Robert Spencer pointed out a very long and very brilliant and sometimes
heated exchange, "Symposium: The Pope and Islam," conducted by Jamie Glazov
at FrontPage. This is a very good backgrounder on the long long tradition
behind violent jihad related conquest. It's a must read. It's a terrific
amount of "homework" one might say. Having read it is the reward.
I like the way the discussion highlighted "there is no compulsion in
religion" passage in the Qur'an. There is no compulsion in the choice. But
once made the consequences of the choice are often quite bleak.

I commented a few days ago how about Mohammedans can change with the change
in rape laws in Pakistan. It seems they really can't. There has been a huge
outpouring of rage at the rights this new law takes away from the rapists.
The law may get tossed. It is actions like this and the nice demonstrations
of "peace" which give me a rather dismal view of any sort of peaceful world
with Mohammedans in any numbers living in it.

Any religion which demands or even condones disemboweling and murder for

(But then you know that already if you read the long frontpage piece

away from his home, partially disemboweled, and murdered. He was guilty of
teaching girls in school.

I presume most readers have already figured out that I have a grudge against
reporters who fabricate their news, particularly with "fake but accurate"
reporting. If it's fake, guys, how do we ascertain what you are implying is
true really is the ground level truth?
Not that this seems to bother journalists at all as a concept. In the
"hallowed halls" of Columbia University journalism students are cheating on
their exams. And even better it seems that the cheating may have been
abetted by a leak. Since leaks are sacred to Journalists it seems only
appropriate that no investigation seems to be taking place.

Brigitte Gabrielle hits too close to home. Mohammedans are moving to disrupt her appearance in Detroit today on the 4th. The evening news should be interesting - except the MSM will never cover it.
"Brigitte Gabriel, the courageous and insightful author of Because They Hate, is scheduled to speak at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor this evening."
"However, emails have gone out to Muslim students urging "all Muslim brothers and sisters to do what they need to do to disrupt this event." One email said: "Muslims, Arabs, and their friends and allies should give Gabriel a proper welcome.""
The truth hurts. And those it hurts try to prevent it's being heard.

"In U.S., fear and distrust of Muslims runs deep" is the title of a good piece by Robert Spencer.
"Framing this discussion in the context of (radio host Jerry) Klein's radio stunt gives the impression, which no doubt is just what Bernd Debusmann wanted to do, that any distrust of any Muslims in the U.S. is an exercise in crypto-Nazism."
Robert offers four prescriptions for the Mohammedans if they really want to ease the "Islamo-phobia" they scream about while they ignore their rabid Kafir-ophobia. End the "look what you made me do" nonsense, teach compulsory classes against violent jihad, stop saying hateful things about kafirs when you think they are not around to hear, and actively work to identify and apprehend violent jihadists within Western Mohammedan communities. Off hand I do not think any Mohammedans who matter will listen to those concepts. Don't miss the clip from the Chezh Republic with material secretly recorded in a mosque in the Prague. It is a classic piece.

Robert Spencer has found a substantive case based on Mohammedan tradition for overturning the traditional Mohammedan death penalty for apostasy, converting to another religion.
""Surah Yunus 10:99 also states that 'Had your Lord willed, everyone on earth would have believed. Do you then force people to become believers?'," she said in a press statement yesterday."
Indeed, if Allah, as seen to be transcending powerful were, to wish everyone on Earth to be Mohammedan it would happen when he willed it. Obviously Allah wills freedom of religion, freedom to make mistakes. (My gosh, Allah is a libertarian!) Seriously, though, this is a good start towards making Mohammedans good neighbors rather than risky neighbors.

Gaza is increasingly not a nice place for women. A woman who was dressed immodestly had acid thrown in her face. A new ultra-radical group has surfaced there called "Just Swords of Islam." And the acid was one of their acts. Radical Mohammedans figure women are chattel. Well, it is in the Qur'an that women are as tilth to be developed as the owner, the man - husband, chooses.

The good news for the day is that Brigitte Gabrielle's speech in Ann Arbor Michigan went swimmingly with an riveted audience of over 300 in attendance. I was worried yesterday when I heard about her speech and the word that local Mohammedans were working up a protest. The protest apparently never got off the ground or was rather mild. If you ever get a chance to hear her speak in person I am betting it's a treat worth the time and effort. It will also be highly educational.
Brigitte is a Lebanese Christian who was living in daily fear of dying her whole life in Southern Lebanon. She was fed propaganda from the Hezbollah occupiers of the area that stated the Jews were horrible and would virtually eat you alive for sport. She and some of her family made it out to Israel and was utterly astounded at the pleasant and indeed concerned way the Jews in Israel treated her and those with her. She also noticed how impolite the captured enemy she saw treated were in response to their treatment. Hezbollah never thought to look after any local Christians who were injured let alone Jews discovered in the area. Just who are the persecutors and who are the persecutees? I know. I simply invert what Hezbollah claims about how others are treating them to learn how they are treating others. And they have the sublime gall to demand I respect them. Hezbollah, respect is something earned by actions and deeds. Your actions and deeds lead to utter disrespect.

More details keep coming out of the investigation into the 6 imams incident. It has been revealed now that more than one passenger complained about suspicious activity. The seat belt extension requested by one of the imams was never connected even though he claims a stewardess helped him set it up. The passenger in the next seat over had it in her hand after he left. It had been on the floor, never connected.
The imams claim they were handcuffed and lead away. They were not in handcuffs according to eye witnesses, not when they were initially lead off or later when they were allowed back one at a time to reclaim their possessions. They may have been later. But they were never handcuffed on the plane.
The passengers, including many Mohammedans, cheered the actions taken by the airline and crew. The 6 imams worked very hard to press all the buttons. This was clearly a probe designed to weaken USAirway's security. So far they are resisting. More power to them. If I have to fly at this moment I would prefer to fly their airline.

So the Mohammedans are complaining about a Crusades video game. They claim it is a force of evil. So reports the Times of London. That is the first link. The second link to the Telegraph is an article about video games attracting young Hezbollah. These are unabashed jihadist child indoctrination videos.
So it's OK for the Mohammedans to do evil. But it is not OK for the non-Mohammedans to do evil. Scroom. (It took seconds to search for "jihadist video game" on Google. The second entry pointed to Jihad Watch which in turn pointed to the Telegraph entry. The first link is to ABC News claiming the Jihadist video games are urban legends. The third link is to yet another Jihadist video game.

MEMRI reports that King Abdullah II of Jordan is under a death threat from the people of the religion of Peace for trying to surpass his "treasonous grandfather [King] Abdullah I. Religion of peace they can try to claim as much as they want. Their actions speak louder than their words if you have more brains than a Murtha or Pelosi.

Rusty Shackleford at "The Jawa Report" notes a detail that seems to be utterly missed by Western media. There was a roundup of terror potters in Egypt. And most importantly one of the people picked up was an American. We are growing our own, folks. This ride is going to get bumpier before it smoothes out. And it can only smooth out for us if we win. There is also an article about it at Jihad Watch. Why nothing in the MSM?

While we are more or less on a theme of "if Mohammedans do it anything goes but if we do it nothing is acceptable" I note this little gem. Israel has documented Hezbollah war crimes and the world yawns. Israel offers videos to answer critics of the war. So the NY Times spins it to make it all "Israeli allegations." But of course, anything Nasrallah's buddies say is gospel. Give me a break! Our media WANTS us to lose. The fall of the US will be a HUGE story. They'll get phylthy rich selling newspapers. They seem to ignore the detail that once we have lost their papers are gone, dead, state owned, and reporters mostly dead. Ah well, thinking is not in any way required of a modern journalist. All that's needed is lots of good intentions. This is getting ridiculous. Honesty? Accuracy? Whazdat?

Two Mohammedans may have finally done it. They urinated on a Bible in Melbourne. Enraged Christians poured into the streets of many major cities smashing shop windows and setting cars on fire shouting "Crucify them!" and "Death to the Moors!" Sounds like a good idea, to me. Unfortunately it will likely go too far and include too many actual moderates who have managed to adapt to peaceful coexistence along with the radicals they nail. <sigh> Can't win. Maybe at least their eyes are opened now.

Investors.com has a long piece detailing what those who have been watching the blogs already know. The 6 imams who were kicked off a US Airways flight and detained in Minnesota are lying and they acted very consciously and intentionally to provoke the incident. Huzzah for Investor's Business Daily for having the courage to print facts and truth. The AP may be broken. But some honest journalism continues. I find it all the more impressive that the IBD article goes on to actually quote the Qur'an and the WHOLE passage the imam Shahin has been spouting in a truncated form. They go on to note Shahin's intimate ties to terrorism.

I have a modest proposal. There are some legitimate protections awarded to genuine journalistic media and their journalists. However, when the media becomes a propaganda organ rather than a legitimate news organ, when they start using fictitious sources they should lose these protections. And so should all their journalists so we can get to the facts of the falsified and fictitious reporting. Of course, any news medium that uses these falsified reports without further investigating should suffer the same fate. This Sword of Damocles above their heads MIGHT make the AP and rags like the New York Times a little more careful about what they are doing. (Of course, NOTHING could ever touch Dan Rather.)

Memo to Ahmadinejad: "If any nuclear device goes off anywhere in the world Tehran gets flattened. If any nuclear device goes off on American soil Iran ceases to be inhabitable." I wonder if he would believe that. For that matter I wonder if he'd give a tinker's damn. We should state that loud and clear. And we MUST be seen as meaning it.
This outburst is the product of reading this report about some experts who declare we haven't much chance at all of stopping highly enriched uranium at the borders. Smuggled uranium could be assembled into a simple nuclear weapon on US soil and detonated. That is the down side. It is the reason for the memo to Ahmadinejad above.
The upside is that "it ain't that simple" Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Lewis, regardless of your Kings College, London and Harvard credentials, respectively. Nonetheless that memo should be sent and meant. This is a nuclear line in the sand.
IMAO, given how much terror financing for the Sunni brand of jihadists comes from Saudi Arabia, I believe they should receive a similar memo. The holy sites of Mohammedanism will cease to exist if any weapon of mass destruction is deployed on American soil, which includes embassies around the world.
IMHO, Moscow should be included in that memo just as a reminder. They ARE supplying most of the stray nuclear know how and materials these days. In their case we simply isolate the country by creating an impassable border region. Then we let them starve until the citizenry effect Putin's removal from power. (Then we maintain the blockade until all the spambot herders and spammers in Russia are turned over for "blood letting.")

Meanwhile, back at the Lebanese farm house Hezbollah is not letting up in the least on its pressure to bring down the elected government in Lebanon so that it can form a substitute Sharia based government. And the world sits, watches, and can't even raise a ho-hum about it. Damn but this is frustrating to watch. A slow motion train wreck is always painful to watch. The West is as suicidal as the Jihadists only in a more "sheep like" manner.

Mark Steyn hits the nail right squarely on the head and drives it home discussing the Iraq Study Group's report. He closes the interview with the sound bite that summarizes it all. The situation in Iraq is worsening. The report is correct in that regard. But they offer nothing practical or substantive with regards to what we should do in response.
One suggestion I'd have is that we no longer give mosques a free pass. We discovered in Korea and Vietnam that giving the enemy a free zone to play within leads to a stalemate. Attack the enemy wherever he goes even if it is onto the soil of another country. The other country can bloody well police its borders and prevent the crossings if they do not want US to cross in hot pursuit.

\"...her afternoon prayer was interrupted by a fellow patron..." That is what most of the MSM coverage of "gymgate" amounts to. What is not said is that the woman whose prayers were interrupted was blocking the locker used by another woman who wanted access to her belongings. The Mohammedan woman failed to respond. The woman went to the manager. More and more the Mohammedans are demanding concessions from us that they do not accord us in return. This is unacceptable. It needs to be more widely reported. And as a nation we need to deal with it. "You are in the United States of America. You will not demand more of its people than its people demand of you. You will abide by our laws. You may abide by Sharia laws where they do not conflict with our laws. You may not go further than that. You will not demand special privileges for your religion. If you do not like this then lump it or leave the US." Yes, I used the dreaded "l-word" that caused such a furor in Australia. We should use it here more often to those who cannot see fit to become Americans rather than remain foreigners with or without American citizenship. There is no room here for foreigners who are not becoming Americans except on business visits.
Wryly I note today's Americans are not necessarily worthy of emulation. We seem to have a "can't do" attitude rather than a "can do" attitude.

Just a note, Charles Johnson, the LGF fellow, reacts the same way I did to Raymond Ibrahim's article that escaped past the LA Times censors. I mentioned it on the fifth. "How did this get past the editors at the Los Angeles Times? Islam gets concessions; infidels get conquered." Yup, he's another person from the Los Angeles area. (He bicycles all over the Palos Verdes Peninsula most evenings.) If you didn't read Raymond Ibrahim's article on the fifth it's still readable as of the time I am posting this. It is a HIGHLY accurate accounting of how the Mohammedans whine to victory if they cannot win otherwise.

On this anniversary day for the Pearl Harbor attack that propelled us into World War-II let us compare Pearl Harbor with Twin Towers. 2000 died in Pearl Harbor, mostly military personnel. Nearly double that died in the Twin Towers, almost all civilians. We lost some war vessels in Pearl Harbor. We lost two buildings and shut down America's financial center in the Twin Towers attack. We responded to Pearl Harbor by entering World War II and winning it. We are responding to the Twin Towers disaster by trying to tear the country apart politically and micromanaging a war in Iraq with utterly ridiculous rules of engagement. We were not afraid to lose young men and women in World War II (mostly men to be sure). We are deathly afraid to lose any soldiers in our pathetic response to the Twin Towers. "Can do" was the Pearl Harbor attitude. "Can't do" is the country's utterly pathetic attitude today. In comparison with WW-II the US is a collection of utter wusses protected by too few brave, loyal, and dedicated young men and women. Thank God we have them. May God bless them all, past and present. LGF has a simple poster. But THIS is the America that should be. It has taken only 64 years to decay this far. As a nation our shame is great.

"Ahmadinejadization" is a Robert Spencer neologism for the process of being subjected to Ahmadinejad's unreality field. He seems to project the same sort of field of befuddlement as Steve Jobs. He discusses it in this video on HotAir.

Robert Spencer takes on the UN over its urging freedoms for Arab women while saying that Mohammedanism is not to blame. "Never mind all that (and there's lots more where that came from). Islam is not the problem. Islam is not the problem. Islam is not the problem. Why? Because the UN really, really, really doesn't want it to be." Now, my take is a little different. How many UN members are tiny little enclaves of Mohammedans hardly big enough to be called a legitimate country? How big a percentage of the UN to they make up?
If each state in the United States has ANY sovereignty at all we should have 50 seats in the UN, IMAO. It might be a nice step towards good sense with regards the little Mohammedan states that seem to be cropping up and dominating more and more of the UN operations.

I figure that's more than enough for one day. Please, please, people open your eyes to what they do and contrast it with what they say. Which is reality? I maintain that reality is what they do. Mohammedanism is not a religion of peace. It is not going to stop for any Baker report's dialogs. They are determined to effect a genocide on every non-Mohammedan in the world. The religion must be transformed into something quite different from what is is. This must be done by careful logic and carefully discrediting the basic documents as they stand. The "editing" that took place when the Umayyads, who were very secular, were replaced by the Abbasids. The latter purged the religion of all traces of the so called false traditions of the Umayyads. This is "editing" which took place in a religion that claims their tradition and Qur'an is the pure unedited work of Allah. We need to make use of this.

=====================
"The three Azzawi brothers, Hussein, Qadam and Ali, loved their home. Their late father had picked the two-storey villa because it was big enough for his sons to marry and raise children in. He hoped that they would always live there."
So begins the tail of the three brothers and the al Qaeda memo which told them to leave within 24 hours or have their heads cut. Note the reactions of their Sunni neighbors, who were NOT part of the al Qaeda activities. Note the memo at the end citing Qur'anic verses to justify the actions. Mohammedanism is not a religion of peace by any stretch of the imagination.
Also note that it is not US, it is not other sects of Mohammedanism, it is Mohammedanism itself that creates war and strife whenever anyone chooses to get rigorous in its interpretation. It surely would be nice if we learned how to discredit that rigorous interpretation, perhaps by discrediting the base documents themselves.

MEMRI today features excerpts from an article by the French-Algerian scholar Dr. Kamal Nait-Zerrad. About midway through the excerpts we have him asking, "Have we already forgotten Afghanistan and its Taliban, Algeria and its terrorists? It is true that the scandal of the amnesty granted to fundamentalist terrorists in Algeria is hardly discussed anymore; they are even granted indemnities, and are simply reintegrated into society, with a compensation package!"
I am afraid we HAVE forgotten how the Taliban took over. We cannot face watching how Hezbollah is taking over Lebanon. We ignored how the Mohammedans have taken over Indonesia and Malaysia. It was not by force of charms instead of force of arms, to be sure.
Further down the page he cites the "fatal" passage 9.29 in the Qur'an which specifies Christians, Jews, and perhaps Zoroastrians have only three options, convert, be humiliated and pay jizyah taxes, or die. All others have only two options, convert or die.
He agrees that the religion must be transformed. Although he uses the word "reformed" instead. Reformed has connotations of going back to root virtues. The Mohammedan roots are fatally lacking in virtues such as to make it fit for the modern world. So as I see it the religion must be transformed rather than reformed.
The original article is in French.

Rampant fraudulent reporting out of the Middle East or about anything pertaining to Mohammedanism out of the Main Stream Media is one of my hobby horses. First I was on Reuters, hard enough to lead to the breaking of a very long relationship. They were doctoring and failing to report as staged pictures out of Lebanon during the "fun" there when Israel decided it had tolerated enough and invaded to try to wipe out Hezbollah. There were posed victims in rubble, staged ambulance runs where no run was needed, doctored photographs, mis-captioned photographs, and so forth. AP was noted as being in the doctored and staged photograph mil, too.
AP has gotten itself into a mess with Jamil Hussein, who appears not to exist let alone be a spokesman for anybody. AP is stonewalling the issue as more and more people are calling them on this bias and forgery. HotAir has a nice write up. And do not miss the pointer at the bottom to Robert Bateman's remarks. This is NOT a new thing with the Associated (with the enemy) Press. They did this in Korea as well. (In that episode they used a mechanic who never saw combat yet claimed to be a witness to a very regrettable incident to inflate No Gun Ri into images of US soldiers intentionally gunning down civilians at short range.)
When news services start using falsified reports and evidence as fact they are in the entertainment business rather than news business. They should lose all the special protections accorded to the news media. And they should be held VERY accountable for the RESULTS of their false reports. The rest of the media, if they are serious about honesty, should come down on the likes of Associated Press and shame them very publicly with banners that read "This is an unverified report from Associated Press."

Lest we get complacent yet another terrorist plot has been busted up by the FBI. This one was rather miniscule as plots go. The fellow was planning to set off some grenades in a local mall in Illinois. Yes, he is Mohammedan. No, he is not part of a terrorist cell. Yes, he is a nut case.
There are some significant points not brought out in most media. It was a "brother" Mohammedan who turned him in. (See, Virginia, moderate Mohammedans DO exist, praise Allah!) And since it was a one person setup that was caught, how many OTHER such honeypot traps exist within the various communities, Mohammedan to KKK? One hopes it is "enough."
And my paranoid bent needs to let a few words out, too. He references a local mosque near the mall. There is one in Dekalb. The local Moslem Student Association shares the same address. Was this fellow enough of a loose canon (sic for the pun value) that he was sacrificed by the more hard core in the MSA or was my first remark about real moderates existing more correct?

I like Hugh Fitzgerald's strategy in his rebuttal analysis of the silly Baker report. We do indeed dialog with Syria in a very friendly way. Seal your borders to the Hezbollah terrorists. Give up ambitions in Lebanon. Give up aspirations for the Golan Heights, you'll never get it back, anyway. Stop allowing insurgents to cross back and forth in Iraq. In return we give you your life. No, we are not going to kill you. If you do not cooperate we will air your dirty laundry to the 70% Sunni population that you "genuine Moslem" Alawites lord it over. THEY will do the killing with Saudi money.
Then we approach Iran and dialog similarly. Only 50% or Iran is Persian. The rest are Kurds, Azeris, Arabs, and Baluchis. You can face a major uprising and a partitioning of your country or you can stop meddling in Iraq, Lebanon, and elsewhere. We help the Kurds to revolt. The Saudis help the Arabs in Iran revolt, and so forth. Got it? Good.
Now THAT is dialoging done right. Congratulations for the ideas Hugh.

Speaking of the Baker report something interesting to note is that Baker's law firm is defending a Saudi Prince who funneled money to al Qaeda against the lawsuit brought by victims of 9/11. The defense is, of course, that his funding al Qaeda was an official government act hence he is immune to this attempted prosecution.
In case nobody notices this I'd like to point out that this is very up front and official notification that Saudi Arabia is THE major support for al Qaeda and is not in the least ashamed of this.
It also means that Baker is happily playing both sides of the terrorist game without blinking an eye. Only a lawyer, a quite unprincipled lawyer, could do that.

Robert Spencer found a remarkable article by Bruce S. Thornton titled "Why the Pope should call for the return of the Hagia Sophia". As Robert declares Mr. Thornton makes a great deal of sense.
Mohammedans DEMAND that we RESPECT them. But they accord us no respect in turn. This is not something we can afford to live with. Respect is and must be a two way street. Otherwise it is subservience. But wait, doesn't the Qur'an make the subservience point quite clear. Ah yes, it's that old nasty 9.29 again, convert, accept subservience, or die. I do believe that the Mohammedans are mistranslating their word as "respect" when they make their demands. It plays better with the liberals and those afraid to fight.

Well, Grand Rapids Michigan has taken a giant step towards the bad old days of masked men and shoot 'em ups. They have made wearing a veil, and along with it full hijab, which hides ANYTHING, on buses in the city. In the name of catering to the Mohammedan women's supposed right to wear a veil anywhere at any time life for the Mohammedan terrorists has been made easier. I consider this to be a monumentally bad mistake. Besides, it establishes a church or at least a church based behavior as being above other churches in Grand Rapids. It MIGHT not be quite Constitutional.

Don Feder's speech to the Americans for A Safe Israel National Conference ("America And Israel - The Present Danger") held in New York City on the 3rd of December raises a collection of telling points. They all fall to one word that, in the words of Mark Steyn "begins with an "I" and ends with a "slam."
Feder lists the Mohammedan terrorist and plain old peaceful jihadist activities since 9/11. It's a partial list. It's a dismal list.
That is bad enough. Then he goes into some numbers that are very bad. We are being out bred by the Mohammedans, the people who want to wipe us off the face of the Earth. And as they are breeding their young are being turned into good little violent jihadists.
I figure that if we do not act soon we will not be able to act at all without some amazing form of atrocities. "If you face an enemy that to the last one alive is dedicated to the utter destruction of you, your kind of people, and the ideals we hold dear is it genocide to wipe them out instead of turning over and accepting the grave?" We had better act now or we will find ourselves facing this question and its corollary question, "Can we face that, accomplish it, and not become monsters?"
Act now or face your children having to die or become monsters. Yes, that is inflammatory. I'm sorry. I feel I'm simply the messenger here. Shoot the idea, if you can.

So we face this fun with a leadership that is about as clueless as it comes about who and what we are facing. So they accept a report that suggests something close to surrendering the chicken coop to the foxes. Iran loves it. Iran REALLY loves the report. Even Time Magazine gets that little detail.
The Kurds get it, too. And they do NOT like the report and suggest they will take action to separate their part of the country from the rest leaving a bankrupt hulk in the South if Iraq. (Wouldn't that be perfect for breeding little terrorists?)
And Jeff Stein (The New York Times) has been ending lengthy interviews with US anti-terrorism officials with a little zinger question, "Do you know the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite?" He hastens to add that he's not seeking a theological answer. He just wants basics, like which makes up al Quaeda and which makes up Hezbollah. He draws blanks and utterly stupid wrong answers.
As I see it we DO need new leadership. Bush is not it. I'm pretty sure McCain is not it. I am dead sure Hillary or any of the anti-war Democrats is it. I'm not sure about any of the others out there in the field, left or right.
We DESPERATELY need leadership that can come up to speed enough about just who are the enemies, how they are arrayed and financed against us that we have a chance of not losing everything. This leadership needs to be able to convey this information to the people of the United States in an understandable form that does not set us off at the throats of ALL the Mohammedans living in this country. They are not ALL nasty terrorists or terrorists in training. These moderates need our support so they can come out from under the direct threats of death from those in their neighborhoods who are terrorists.

MEMRI has an interesting piece about the insides of Saudi palace political infighting. "Saudi Oppositionist: King 'Abdullah is Trying to Keep Prince Na'if From Acceding to the Throne"
Na'if is the head of the Interior Ministry, which has more religious police than there are military and intelligence personel. Indeed, he is the head of the APVAPV, Authority for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. I suspect it would be very bad if he came to power. And that might be very good. It might spur us into dealing with Saudi Arabia to shut down its terrorist financing.

Do we owe Iraqis any sort of refugee status here in the United States? Any program to grant this status will let some Jihadists into the country, even if the refugee status is limited to Christian Iraqis.
Some people are working hard to equate these refugees with those from Vietnam. The Vietnam refugees were largely Christians and Jews, neither of which arrived with "a ready-made societal model and an imperative to replace the culture and mores and laws of the society to which they were coming." At least some of the Mohammedan "refugees" from Iraq will come with such a model in place.
Personally I see no safe way to allow ANY Mohammedan refugees from that part of the world. As for the Christian refugees, a nice meal of pork tamales would be a good way to deal with the would be terrorists. They eat the pork and forfeit all chance of Heaven or they don't eat the pork and reveal themselves for what they are. I agree with Robert that the State Department needs to state clearly that provable Christians will have preferences and any Mohammedans allowed in will have to note that they will have to live by US laws not Sharia laws where there are any conflicts between the two. Even the Christians need to be made aware of the fact they must become Americans with an Iraqi flavor rather than Iraqis living in America if they plan to stay here any length of time.

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." -- Omar Ahmad, founder of CAIR.
This is a self-professed moderate Mohammedan. Of course, CAIR, with all its terrorist support and leanings could fully be expected to have leaders and founders who will provide nice quotes like the above with great reliability. (And note which organization is supporting Shahin's lawsuit over his treatment in the 6 flying imams situation.)
Robert Spencer has (much) more on the quoted statement above, which Omar Ahmad denies, in the second link.

Katherine Kersten has more today about those six imams in Monday's Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune. She delineates even more terrorist links for the six.
"The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the imams' legal representative, is an organization that "we know has ties to terrorism," Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said in 2003. And the Muslim American Society, which is also supporting the imams? It's the American arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to the Chicago Tribune, which called it "the world's most influential Islamic fundamentalist group.""

Robert Spencer takes issue with Economist Mahammad Yunus over his "get rid of poverty to stop terrorism" prescription. Mr. Yunus has a point in that given something to lose people are more loathe to do something that will cost them their accomplishments. With Mohammedans this does not seem to be the case. Almost all the terrorists seem to be better educated and have better prospects for their lives than most of their peers. I think wiping out poverty is not the answer. But I think it is part of the answer. Read Robert Spencer's take on the issue at the link below.

I have some friends over in London. I hope they can get out before Blair gives away everything. He is now declaring that a Mohammedan can be PM. Essentially that means Britain becomes Mohammedan shortly thereafter. Blair has taken leave of what senses he may have had as he tries to embrace multiculturalism.
It appears the US may have to go it alone as the Mohammedans gobble up the rest of the world. Maybe the Chinese will gobble us up and then deal with the Mohammedans in their characteristic far less tolerant manner.

"Hello from Fjordman. I will run a multipart essay over the coming few weeks where I will explore whether Islam is compatible with democracy. This is published in cooperation with the Gates of Vienna blog. The various parts will be published at Jihad Watch first, and then the full essay will be republished at the Gates of Vienna, similar to the Eurabia Code. Here comes part 1:"
This was the introduction on Nov 30th titled "Is Islam Compatible with Democracy." It is a long read. It is educational. There are more parts coming. Links for parts one and two are below.
In part one he investigates "Democracy" as a concept and then states preconditions for Democracy to work. For example it needs a "Demos", a group of people with a shared pre-political loyalty. He cites some reasons Mohammedanism does not appear to be amenable to a Democracy when fear is a standard political modality. (Do remember Mohammedanism is as much a political system as a religious system. The Qur'an sees no distinction between the two concepts.)
Then he goes on to cite problems with the European "Democracies" in which people are more "subject" than peer making decisions on such simple things as raising and spending taxes. (That sounds dreadfully familiar to the United States, too.) In this regard he reaches very familiar conclusions about other things a Democracy requires in order to function for the betterment of its citizens.
Then he makes this "heretical" statement, "Our goal is not democracy in itself, meaning elections and one man one vote, but freedom of conscience and speech, respect for property rights and minorities, the right to bear arms and self-defense, equality before the law and the rule of law - and by that I mean secular law - in addition to such principles as formal constraints on the power of the rulers and the consent of the people."
Then he develops the thesis that this is utterly incompatible with Sharia law and its concepts of "blasphemy" and "apostasy" with their often gruesome death penalties.
In part two Fjordman adds depth to the above. One of the cites you really do want to understand is this one: "But in the words of the celebrated 14th century historian Ibn Khaldun himself:
"in the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force." In Islam, says Ibn Khaldun, the person in charge of religious affairs is concerned with "power politics," because Islam is "under obligation to gain power over other nations" (Muqaddimah, trans. Rosenthal, p. 183)."
...
"Ibn Khaldun wrote about Christians: "We do not think that we should blacken the pages of this book [Muqaddimah] with discussion of their [Christian] dogmas of unbelief. In general, they are well known. All of them are unbelief. This is clearly stated in the noble Koran. To discuss or argue those things with them is not up to us. It is for them to choose between conversion to Islam, payment of the poll tax, or death."
(The link for the Ibn Khaldun quotes is below at the muslimphilosophy site.)
He follows this quote with several examples of the Mohammedans implementing these statements and the infamous Qur'an 9.29, convert, be a virtual slave paying annual tribute, or die.
This all is a long read, well reasoned, and highlights just what problems we are facing in Iraq. We did not understand the enemy. We went in presuming our values were universal. We've been slapped down in that regard. Although the number of close to apostate Mohammedans in Iraq who DO want an honest Democracy and secular government is remarkably high all things considered. It is a rewarding read. You come out of it with a lot more understanding of what we are fighting.
Be sure to see the Wall Street Journal quote for blood money prices. Note how much a Mohammedan mail is worth compared to a Mohammedan woman. Then compare that to say a Hindu woman. There is a 33:1 disparity.
I am looking forward to the next part.

====================
What a way to start the day. The MSM have happened on something the bloggers "knew" for a week or so, Saudi Arabia may poke its nose, and money, into Iraq to aid the Sunnis. Let's pour some gasoline on the fire.
link http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,236180,00.html http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/12/12/usa.saudi.iraq.reut/index.html
The blogs are one step ahead. Captains Quarters notes that the Saudi ambassador to the US was called back to Saudi Arabia on VERY short notice. He left his very influential posting to return home in an incredible rush. The usual parties for a retiring ambassador never happened. Maybe Abdullah is ill?

One of my readers commented about being a little confused about whether I believe there are moderate Mohammedans or not. For the record I believe there are. Most are complacent and very afraid to raise their heads. In polls something like 50% of Mohammedans world wide are said to support the violent jihad with as many as 20% saying they'd take part in bombings.
MEMRI has a nice article by one of the few vocal moderates, Tunisian columnist Cayed Krichen. Krichen notes the golden age of Islam when it was new, open, and free. That would be when they were under the Umayyads. When the Abbasids took over this freedom of thought along with the documents and doctrines that went along with it were extirpated from the official religion. It has suffered with this for 1100 years now.
Krichen then recites a partial list of mere violations of freedom of thought perpetrated in the religion's name since 1925 when in Egypt "Sheikh 'Ali 'Abd Ar-Raziq is expelled from Al-Azhar University and his writings are banned [because] he advocates the separation of religion and state. His book 'Islam and Principles of Government' is declared heretical, and banned."
So, yes, there are moderates. They exist. Most are silent. Some have the courage to express their thoughts. They routinely find their way into religious prisons or death sentences. I hope Tuniaia is not that backwards and Krichen can continue to express such thoughts. The religion could well benefit from it.

MEMRI also has a clip and transcript of an interview with several Saudi intellectuals. It seems the US is not the only place where the education system is already in Hell let alone digging a deeper hole in Hell into which it can immerse us all. Here are some additional more or less moderates decrying teachers at private schools abandoning the curriculum and teaching the Taliban ideals and other such nonsense. At least with a private school the parents can intervene and see such teachers fired, in theory. I wonder if Turki Hamad did that with his son's teacher.

Then MEMRI has excerpts from an interview with Mash'al Al-Mutairi, a Saudi oppositionist about trying to keep Prince Na'if from Acceding to the throne. These attempts are not his alone. King Abdullah and Crown Prince Sultan are also in there pitching. But Na'if is in an incredibly strong position. (And he is rather an extremist.)

LGF has a video from Fox News featuring Debra Burlingame, the wife of the deceased 9/11 pilot of flight 77. She is highlighting the wee little detail that the 6 flying imams were seriously fishing for an incident. At the end the 911familiesforamerica.org blog was mentioned (full link below.) She declares the full 24 page police report will be posted. Apparently it is a shocker. We SHOULD have put the imams through a much more thorough wringer for virtually shouting bomb on a loaded airliner. (I tracked down the full report at pajamasmedia. Link below.) Page 11 is where the report gets down to business and describes the incident. The information basically confirms the reports that have been circulating on the blogs. The imams were fishing, with dynamite in a barrel, for some insults and "abuses." As such they abused the passengers on the flight. IMAO THEY should go on trial for their behavior and its results.

The moderate Mohammedans are VERY silent, it seems. I believe I have worked with several such over the years. I don't hear their voices anywhere, though. I do hear the voices of the immoderates. In this case from Oz. A young Mohammedan woman who won the NSW Young Australian of the Year award is now under death threats from the jihadists in Oz. Such lovely and loving folks these loud immoderate Mohammedans are. The world could do without them. There is also question about a frame up involving cocaine and Ms. Hage-Ali. At any rate the plot thickens - and sickens.

"The poet Ali Ahmad Sa'id (b. 1930), known by his pseudonym "Adonis," a 2005 candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature, left his native Syria for Lebanon in the 1950s following six months' imprisonment for political activity. In 1973, he received his Ph.D. from St. Joseph University in Beirut; in 1985, he settled in Paris, where he now works as a writer and literary critic. Among other occupations, he has edited the modernist magazine Mawaqif (Viewpoints), and translated some of the great French poets into Arabic." He is also another Moderate who is coming forward and stating that the Mohammedan world has fatal flaws.
One of his more telling comments comes near the beginning of the interviews, "In our case, political rule was based... Ever since the struggle over who would inherit Prophet Muhammad's place, political rule was essentially based on religion."

Time magazine seems to have slipped up in its unending blizzard of lies and falsehoods about the Middle East. In "The Big Lie About the Middle East", Lisa Beyer says, "In lumping the Iraq mess in with the Palestinian problem--and suggesting the first could not be fixed unless the second was too--the Baker-Hamilton commission lent credibility to a corrosive myth: that the fundamental problem in the Arab world is the plight of the Palestinians."
A little further on she declares, "In a decade of reporting in the region, I found it rarely took more than the arching of an eyebrow to get the most candid of Arab thinkers to acknowledge that the tears shed for the Palestinians today outside the West Bank and Gaza are of the crocodile variety. Palestinians know this best of all."
I've declared the point that they have no legitimate gripe and know it for many years now with various angles of proof. By embracing this concept former President Carter in his book and the Baker report from the ISG create serious damage. It gives the terrorists some legitimacy even they know is not there. It encourages their continued violence. And it obscures that the problem is not our, yours and mine, behavior. The problem is our not being Mohammedans in the idealized fantasy world the violent jihadist Mohammedans maintain for themselves.

"Spencer: Tony Blair Renounces Multiculturalism - Sort Of"
The Lord giveth, "British Prime Minister Tony Blair declared last Friday that "no distinctive culture or religion supercedes our duty to be part of an integrated United Kingdom." He listed "respect for this country and its shared heritage," along with "belief in democracy, the rule of law, tolerance, equal treatment for all," as the things that "we hold in common" and give "us the right to call ourselves British.""
The Lord taketh away, "Blair himself, however, doesn't seem to have intended his speech to be taken as a rejection of or retreat from multiculturalism. He explained: "It is not that we need to dispense with multicultural Britain. On the contrary we should continue celebrating it.""
The article is worth the read simply to watch Blair stumbling through the British briar patch of political correct thought and speech. He surely seems to be making an arse of himself lately.

Michelle has a nice update on yesterday's illegal worker raids. The illegal aliens were working on stolen identities, one of whom was a Border Patrol agent. These victims of identity theft are being dunned for back taxes they never paid on earnings they never received for jobs they never had. Our borders MUST be sealed tightly. The cost of illegal aliens is more than we should bear.
Once the borders are sealed illegal aliens using stolen identities must be tossed out after taking DNA samples, finger prints, and any other form of positive identification we can think of. Then if they are found in the US again they are eligible for a death penalty.

I am reluctantly willing to give Glocer his argument even though I do think he was whitewashing decades of bad behavior of this sort. He has come out and stated that Reuters has new standards for Photoshop work AND more importantly, perhaps, in attributes to photos and the circumstances under which they were taken. (LGF and others raked Reuters over the coals for their coverage of Lebanon.) I can't accept an apology that does not mention their near complete lack of coverage of the death and destruction Hezbollah rained on Israel. But then, none was issued.
I do remember during the actual combat phase of Gulf War part II that Reuters played some clips over and over again until they got it cut just right, usually in a manner to make the US look bad. I was watching several of the live feeds out of Baghdad when I noticed this. Now, what they were doing MAY have been simply trying to get a clean feed. Editing over a satellite feed would be stupidly difficult. It still raised the hairs on my neck. Their coverage was consistently such as to make the US look bad compared even to CBS's feeds.
I also remember the neatly misattributed ambulance pictures. I also remember the "Reuters Van Hit By Israeli Missile" incident in the Palestine territories. (It was very obviously not hit by a missile. It had a large chunk of concrete dropped on it. What hit was certainly not explosive.)
Charles concludes his report on it with these words, "Thanks to Mr. Glocer for the nice words. Now what about this? Reuters: David Duke a 'US Academic'." The link is to an article describing Duke as an Academic disregarding his sordid past in the KKK and all that minor stuff. Reuters not biased? Hah!

Katherine Kersten of the Star Tribune (MSP area) muses on the real reason for the 6 flying imams nonsense. I figure it's a "Well Duh!" But I guess most people are not paranoid enough to see the connection of this publicity blitz with the bill John Conyers (D Mich) wrote called the "End Racial Profiling Act." Under it the TSA will have the burden of proof if it can be shown they questioned a disproportionate number of Mohammedans. Nancy Pelosi is a proud cosponsor. Ellison, the Mohammedan in Congress, is expected to get on the band wagon, too. This is a VERY bad law. I hope Congress or the Senate has the courage to kill it. I REALLY hope that if it gets to the President he flat out vetoes it.
If it is statistically more dangerous to step into an open manhole than a closed one it makes sense to put most or all of your guard rails and signs around opened holes. Under the manhole equivalent of this proposed law to avoid discrimination all manholes would have to have signs and guard rails around them opened or not. Think about it.
Race is simply an identifiable fact about a person. It is like the state of a manhole, opened or closed. An open manhole on a busy street is going to hurt somebody, likely badly. A closed manhole can hurt people in some circumstances, such as when its slick surface triggers a loss of traction while making a panic stop or when one slips on it while crossing the street. They are even dangerous for slips and falls when they are in the middle of a sidewalk. So one must be aware of all manholes just as one must be aware of all people around oneself. But when they are opened manholes present a greater danger. So taking note of this is rather important if one wishes to stay unharmed. The same is true with regards to people who are of Middle Eastern descent. This is unfortunate. But it is a fact. This also does not mean we ignore all others.
Note that those boarding the airplane with the 9 were willing to cut slack for Mohammedans praying. THEY "RACIALLY" PROFILED THE MOHAMMEDANS! They KNEW this was a Mohammedan activity so they considered it odd but something one could overlook. But the imams kept piling on abuse of profile after abuse of profile. Finally too many passes of this led to suspicion which led to their denied boarding. The imams in effect are demanding racial profiling to ALLOW them to do extra outrageous things that the rest of us cannot. Scroom.

"RABAT (AFP) - They might have Islamic names like Mohammed or Ali, but every Sunday these Moroccan converts to Christianity go discreetly to "church" -- to the ire of Islamic militants and under the suspicious eye of police."
""There are about a thousand of us in around 50 independent churches across the big cities of the kingdom," explained Abdelhalim, who coordinates these evangelical Protestant groups in Morocco."
"As we are tolerated, but not recognized (by the state) we must, for security reasons, conduct ourselves as a clandestine organisation," said the 57-year-old, who preferred to use a pseudonym."
Thus is the life of converts to Christianity in Morocco, which is not nearly as virulent about apostates as many other Mohammedan nations. I note this is also the life of ANY Christians in Morocco let alone those who convert to Christianity. This is called Dhimmitude, the near slavery status non-Mohammedans "of the book" may adopt if they pay their jizyah taxes and accept humiliation.
The rest of the convert's day to day life is quite a bit worse than that of those who were originally Christian and stayed that way. For example the converts are still regarded as Mohammedan by the state. If they marry they either must use a Mohammedan ceremony and Sharia law or risk being declared adulterers and killed for that. This is regardless of any Christian ceremonies they may have undertaken.
It seems Morocco solves the "death for apostates" issue by simply denying that anybody CAN convert out of Mohammedanism. They are still treated as if they are Mohammedan and judged entirely under Sharia law for Mohammedans, where it's convenient. Otherwise they are judged under Sharia law for Christians.

(If the last two paragraphs are "too hot" feel free to trim them. But the association I made there is rather strong when you look through Mohammedan history and contemporary actions.)
[EDITOR NOTE: In general I do not edit these; they appear on a separate page, with appropriate introduction. If I find something obviously libelous I will remove it, but I do almost no editing of these posts; I have known Joanne long enough to trust her judgment on such matters. Note again that my publication of these papers is NOT an endorsement of all of her views, nor an assertion that they are all factual. I post these because she has gone to considerable trouble to assemble a record that needs some commentary and explanation from those who disagree with her. I have several letters from Muslim friends, particularly Turkish intellectuals, who protest that they are not like this and don't do such things. This is obviously true. Alas, I haven't seen much from the intellectual leadership of the Muslim world denouncing such actions as are recorded here. In some cases I well understand that to do so would invite a death sentence. Which may or may not reinforce the point. Denouncing the Pope doesn't get Catholic intellectuals killed.
But let me emphasize that Ms. Dow's conclusions are her own, not necessarily mine. Her viewpoint is that of a rather thoroughly liberated but also feminine woman.]
"Terrorists win in web-savvy stakes" is a New Scientist headline. The cited MIT study is correct. Which points out something that people seem to forget. Arabs may have some bad habits that make them seem like Keystone Kops from time to time. But to accuse them of being dumb is extremely foolish. They are as smart as we are and far more motivated for their cause than we are for ours.

So we now have Russia not only supporting Iran in the UN but also selling Iran nuclear fuel. In an exceptionally ill advised move Putin has authorized the sale of nuclear fuel to Iran. "Sergei Shmatko, head of Atomstroyexport, Russia's state nuclear fuel exporter, said last week that preparations to send fuel to Iran would start next month and the first consignment was expected to reach the Islamic republic in early spring."
Yup, Russia is NOT our friend, regardless of how enthusiastically we may have embraced Russia after the Soviet empire fell. And Putin is still basically a KGB operative. So do not look for anything other than utterly autocratic government and dictatorship from him. (Note that he stopped opposition demonstrations.)

Somalia, the peaceful Sharia loving neo-Mohammedan nation, is beating the drums of jihad, quite predictably. And quite predictably they are spilling over the Somali borders into Ethiopia. Anybody who is not Mohammedan is an enemy to be defeated any way possible.
"ARMS are flooding into the city by sea and air, mosques are filled with a call to jihad and foreign fighters are arriving by the planeload: Mogadishu is once again braced for war."
You can bet those arms are not coming from the US or any sane western government. Look to Iran for the arms and money source. (The Somalis are accusing the US of being in an alliance with al Qaeda! No lie is too big to be employed by these radicals and believed by others.)
For 1400 years Mohammedanism has a chief record of bringing death and destruction to the world. Isn't it time people woke up to this fact? The closest to a positive record they ever had was their first 300 years which were erased by the Abbasids.

For something REALLY disgusting about the Mohammedans consider that in Tunisia disaster relief funds help Mohammedan vigilante force lash woman tsunami survivors in public for breaking their version of Sharia law.
"...militant Islamists have since imposed sharia law in Aceh and have cornered Indonesian government funds to organise a moral vigilante force that harasses women and stages frequent displays of humiliation and state- sanctioned violence."
Yup, right on target. Mohammedanism is a religion that breeds death, violence, and destruction rather than creativity even if most of its adherents are "moderate." It's a shame so many people wasting their lives on such destructive activities.

Zia Haider Rahman decries the 100m pounds spend to provide translators for multi-culturally English deprived people in Britain. She notes that the multi-cultural approach raises language barriers that keep her fellow Bangladeshi in low level trades or unemployed. As such it provides an ideal breeding ground for extremists and terrorists. She declares, "It is perhaps not surprising that, according to an NOP poll last August, 45% of British Muslims believed that 9/11 was an American-Israeli conspiracy, and 36% wanted sharia to be adopted in Britain."
She basically blames it all on multi-culturalism. It's pretty obvious that as a concept it is busted and needs to be dismantled completely. I wish we'd get that message here in the US. Join the culture or leave.

Here is an example of what the Mohammedans teach their children about the Holocaust and Jews. It is not pretty anything except pretty disgusting to contemplate. It explains the Holocaust denial. It explains the rabid hatred for Jews and Israel. It demonstrates Mohammedanism is a religion related more to death, violence, and destruction than peace, prosperity, and growth. (The ray of hope is that Ayaan Hirsi Ali who wrote the piece for the LA Times is a Mohammedan who raised above this filth.)
Surely the study of hatred cannot lead to peace, prosperity, and growth.

The UK police are reporting one religion is disproportionately the victim of hate crimes. And no, it's not the Mohammedans who are the victims. They are more often the perpetrators with Jews as the victims. Jews are the victims of 4 times more hate crimes than Mohammedans on a per capita basis. One in 400 Jews are victims. One in 1700 Mohammedans are victims.
"A report by MPs in September said British Jews were more vulnerable to attack and abuse now than for a generation. Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory leader, who sat on the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Anti-Semitism, said it was "perverse" that not all police forces recorded anti-Semitic incidents and said that some forces "verge on the complacent". The Acpo directive was ignored by most forces, whose systems are not designed to record religion, though they routinely record ethnicity. Acpo said large organisations take time to adjust to new systems.""
The religion of peace seems to be crying crocodile tears when they complain of faith based crime directed their way. A subtext of the report below from the Telegraph is that the Jews were most often the victims of Mohammedans, members of the religion most often associated with death, violence, and destruction. Yes, I am getting repetitive. This point needs to be driven home, HARD.

All this happens to support a question I asked myself this morning. If Mohammedanism is a religion most associated with death, violence, and destruction rather than peace, prosperity, and growth just who is "Allah?" This is a tough question. If you look through religious literature Satan is the "entity" most associated with death, violence, and destruction. But then so is the Old Testament God in many parts of the Bible. I have to look to the teachings of Jesus to notice that God is forgiving and not very demanding about how a person lives. Satan remains as the icon of death, violence, and destruction.
I'll leave it to readers to figure out the connection I have probably made concerning the Qur'an, Hadith, Sunnah, and Sharia law as I encounter them in my reading. I think I will stick with God.

I am unsure whether it is a good thing or bad thing that Ahmadinejad's allies have stumbled badly at the polls in the latest voting in Iran. On the good side it indicates a loss of support for the extremists. It shows courage on the part of the voters to buck the extremists. But, this rather leads to reduced tensions which is bad for waking up the sleep walking US voters. So, as I stated, I am not sure if it's a good thing. I am sure it is an important thing.

CBS News and 60 minutes are not always far out in left field and lost in bias. This week's 60 minutes was astounding. It took three survivors of the Holocaust, who lost the rest of their families in the prison camps. What was discovered from documentation and their memories ranged from astounding to disgusting.
As DrMalaka comments on LGF, "I thought it was a fine piece of reporting. The one thing that strikes me is the passage of time."
"When I was younger, 25+ years ago, these survivors were still in their prime, 45-55 years old. Now they are all old men and women. Everyone in NY knew someone closely related to the Holocaust, a friend's father, a teacher's family...It was a tangible event."
"I wonder if today's young generation has the same feel for what happened as I did when I was I kid. It seems so detached from today's youth who probably have never heard the phrase "Peace in our time.""
I had the same experience in Detroit and in College. The holocaust was very very real to me. I knew people with tattooed on numbers.

Life in Southern Thailand is not pleasant, either for Mohammedans or the Buddhists they routinely butchered. Robert Spencer has more on this. It's the basic religion of peace sowing death, persecution, despair, and gratuitous violence. The Buddhists of a village one mile from a Mohammedan village were good friends with the Mohammedans, until the killing started. Now they rejoice, even when former good friends die. I just can't believe this is the will of God. If it is, then one must ask whether there is any salient difference between God and Satan other than that one has better PR.

"A poster at [JihadWatch] recently asked: "There is an excellent PhD just waiting to be written re. the peculiar mental pathologies that Islam inculcates in its adherents....Has that PhD been written?""
Hugh Fitzgerald comments about it. He provides a distinctive list of the various brands of Mohammedanism in his discussion. It ranges from the rabid Salafists to the Ibadiya Islam in Oman run by Sultan Qaboos. He then comments about the State Department's knowledge of all this. Whatever you think the level of their ignorance is worse than your nightmares.

In one of the finer displays of double think Mohammedan scholars in Pakistan have declared that the new rape laws will turn the country into a "free sex zone." On the contrary, they will stop the free sex by rape, one hopes. Of course, it will probably get watered down or completely shut down. The Mohammedans in Pakistan like their "free sex zone" they have now where they can rape at their pleasure and the woman gets punished for being raped and cannot accuse her rapists and see them punished.

"Saudi blackmail over al Qaeda intelligence ends British Investigation"
"Two questions: What are the Saudis hiding, that they would find it necessary to take this measure? But also, why should it be the end of the line for the investigation? Surely London could respond with consequences of its own."
Oil. Pure and simple, it's about the oil. That is why London backed down, I bet.
From the article quoted, "Saudi Arabia threatened to stop sharing vital intelligence - particularly intercepted communications between al-Qaeda members active there - unless Britain suspended its investigation into a controversial arms deal, The Observer can reveal."
This, of course, has me wondering about the real validity and worth of the Saudi intelligence.
I do admit to being prone to overly emotional responses to such events. With that in mind take this recommendation with a large grain of salt. I do think, however, that a quiet word to Saudis that stopping the intelligence reporting or a severe decline in its quality might result in Mecca becoming a place of memories. That is to say, I think it is time to take off the kid gloves. Of course, an investigation into BAE officials paying bribes for the Typhoon jet contract might not quite be worth getting this extreme, eh?

For some positive reporting from Iraq consider Bill Roggio's reporting from Iraq. He is embedded in Iraq with 3 Company, 3-2-1 Iraqi Army in Southern Fallujah.

This is mostly an Iraqi effort by the "3 Company, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 1st Iraqi Army Division".

Even Ireland is infested with jihad cells as revealed by Tom Carew.
"On Monday evening, Dec 18, 2006, the Irish State-owned RTE 1 TV, on its
flagship current affairs investigative program, "Prime Time", after the main
9-9.30 PM evening news, broadcast a 1-hour report on the Jihadi risk within
Ireland. It quoted from intelligence reports, both police [Garda ] and
military [G-2] sources, and interviewed on-air recently retired US experts,
such as John Brennan, 2004-05 chief of their National Counter-Terrorism
Center, and Dan Coleman, ex-FBI OBL Unit, as well as many Muslim figures in
Ireland. The program research seemed very thorough, balanced and
comprehensive in range, and led substantial weight to the extremely
disturbing conclusions which emerged."
"Prime Time estalished five central and troubling issues."
"Firstly, there is a Jihadi propaganda operation active in Ireland."
"Secondly, there is, within the Muslim community in Ireland, high- level
sympathy for Jihad."
"Thirdly, there is a small [15%-19%] element in this community, which
supports such terror."
"Fourthly, several active Jihadi terrorists have been identified with Irish
links."
"Fifthly, a significant Al-Qaida figure is based in Dublin for some
25 years, and has acquired Irish citizenship."
He goes on to discuss each of the 5 points establishing proof of the
assertions.

The religion that claims it is very kind and nice to its women has just put
a Saudi woman, and her child, in prison because she was involuntarily
divorced from her husband by half-brothers. Her only crime was not having a
legal male guardian and being unwilling to return to the "custody" of her
family. My conclusion is that women are pure and simple property in Saudi
Arabia. Observation also suggests that this is the case almost anywhere.

There is a big brouhaha over Congress-man elect Ellison swearing in using a

that Ellison should swear on a Bible. Robert Spencer has a long article with
some interesting points that would be pertinent if swearing in ceremonies
actually took place with a formal swearing in on a holy book of one sort or
another. In point of fact the swearing in takes place for all
Congress-critters at once. The fancy pictures with hand up and other hand on
a book or whatever are a photo-op that takes place afterwards and means
zilch.
I suppose many Congress-critters bring in a family Bible or the line and
hold it while the whole corps is being sworn in. Some are not allowed to by

A side point touched on by Robert in his discussion is the point that
3.28 and 16.106 makes the Qur'an unsuitable for oath-taking because it
allows Mohammedans to lie to unbelievers. He misses the mark by a hairs
breadth. The Qur'an makes Mohammedans unsuited for taking oaths to any
unbelievers Qur'an present or not.
Robert notes that some people have looked up 3.28 and 16.106 for themselves
and wondered how they justify lying to unbelievers. He addresses it in the
update at the bottom of his article.
"UPDATE: Some people have asked me about my statement above that Qur'an 3:28
and 16:106 allow Muslims to lie to unbelievers. Here is the relevant section
on 3:28 from the Qur'anic commentary of Ibn Kathir:
"..."unless you indeed fear a danger from them" meaning, except those
believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the
disbelievers. In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship to
the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari
recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people
although our hearts curse them.'' Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The
Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.''"
Note that not only Christians, Jews, Pagans, and all the rest of the world
are unbelievers but the other sects of Mohammedanism are generally regarded
as "questionable" at best and "expendable" at worst.
(This is an important point to remember, too. It causes one to wonder about
things one should not wonder about. "Prince of Lies" comes to mind.)

"Police are trying to trace a gang of British Muslims who are thought to
have returned to plot terror attacks in Britain after being trained abroad
for more than a year by al-Qaeda, Nine Britons, all said to be in their
twenties, were among a group of 12 Western recruits groomed by al-Qaeda at a
secret camp near the Afghan border to set up new terror cells in London and
other Western capitals."
Oh goodie, "Western capitals" includes Washington DC. Maybe we will get
another wake-up call about terrorism. We should not need it. But as a nation
we've worked doubly hard to deserve it. <sigh> The British have an intensive
manhunt under way on for the "English brothers". They are British,
apparently. But as British they'd likely be able to move fairly freely in
the US as well. And we are FAR easier for them to infiltrate than Britain
might be. We have wide open borders both to the North and to the South
through which various forms of illegal substances as well as illegal people
penetrate on an hourly or worse basis.
Michael Barone provides a link to Michael Leeden's new blog on the
PajamasMedia blog site. Leeden's comments have some serious bite to them
regarding the Executive branch chopping off all contact with their Iranian
sources right after those sources had provided information that had saved
American lives. "But immediately thereafter, Secretary of State Powell and
Director of Central Intelligence Tenet threw a hissy fit, and demanded an
immediate and total end to all contacts with those people. In a grotesque
confirmation that no good deed goes unpunished, Secretary of Defense
Rumsfeld even instructed his employees in the Office of the Secretary of
Defense to terminate all contacts with Iranians, especially "Iranian
dissidents.""
Leeden blames the intelligence community and the diplomats for this idiocy.
Michael Barone provides a double dose of Leeden with a pointer to Leeden's
latest in the National Review Online. In that article he laughs at Western
media's fascination with Ahmadinejad the wacky President of Iraq who
effectively is a mouthpiece with no real authority of his own.

Over at MEMRI Nimrod Raphaeli discusses the coalition of extremists over
which Iran presides. We have "Hassan Nasrallah's Hizbullah in Lebanon;
Muqtada Al-Sadr's militia, known as Jeish al-Mahdi (the Mahdi
Army) in Iraq; and Bashar Al-Assad's Syria - Iran's principal ally, and
Iran's subcontractor for guiding and arming Hizbullah, and for providing the
political and financial support for the Hamas Islamic (m)ovement in
Palestine."
He also breaks down the sub-levels of this such as the terrorist groups
which consider Syria as their "home" or mentor. Arguably at the moment Iran
may be the bigger of the two major terror sponsors well ahead of Saudi
Arabia's al Qaeda for wide spread raw power. Iran is unabashedly pouring
huge amounts of money into terrorist organizations all over the world. (For
example, do remember that Hezbollah has moved into Venezuela with Chavez's
permission.)

With the above in mind the note that Iran is expected to foment violence in
Saudi Arabia during the pilgrimage season is all the more creditable. The
mad ayatollahs of Iran are flexing their muscles with the intent that the
foreseen unification of Mohammedans will take place around an Iranian
nucleus. We should rather have it around an Arab center, I suspect.

Charles Johnson gets the satisfaction of seeing someone in the MSM pick on
one of Charles's more interesting revelations. It seems that the Mohammedans
were not quite so innocent with regards to the Holocaust.
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was in Germany for much of the war in active
collaboration with the Nazis. Max Boot has a nice article.
"In Ahmadinejad's view, shared by countless others across the Middle East,
whatever the Nazis did is no business of theirs, so why inflict the "Zionist
entity" on their region? It is only a small step from this position to
claiming that Israel's destruction is justified."
"Pointless though it may be to argue with a madman, it is worth noting that
Muslims were not as blameless in the genocide of the Jews as Ahmadinejad and
his ilk would have it. Arabs were, on a small scale, cheerleaders and
enablers of the Final Solution. The most famous example was Haj Amin
Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem (and uncle of Yasser Arafat), who
took refuge in Berlin in World War II. A rabid Nazi, he personally lobbied
Hitler to kill as many Jews as possible and even helped out by recruiting
Bosnian Muslims to serve in the Waffen SS."
This needs MUCH more exposure in the MSM. Although a Max Boot column in the
LA Times does positively count for something. The segment of our populace
who should see this would be at least exposed to it this way.
Boot notes that "Mein Kampf" is a perennial bestseller in the Middle East.
Think about it when someone prattles to you about the innocent Palestinians
having the horrid Zionists inflicted upon them. One of the Jewish
persecutors was the top interpreter for Sharia law for Jerusalem.

U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth has ruled that US relatives of the

Charles asks, "What will it take for the United States to acknowledge that
Iran is openly at war with us, and has been for decades?"
Charles, it will take a very long time. Look how long it has taken for the
same thing with regards to Saudi Arabia. The whole world is too utterly
dependant on the Middle East for a hydraulic commodity, one with VERY little
flexibility in demand that is spelled O I L.

can expect they are Saudi financed.
It is becoming time to let the Saudi's know we mean business and they should

Israelis in Lebanon. Look for much squealing about civilian casualties and
all that, most of it not real. It worked once.

CAIR is foaming at the mouth over virtual violence in a video game.
It is a Christian video game, "Left Behind Eternal Forces". The author
reveals 5 salient facts about the game.
1) No Muslims are depicted or represented.
2) The "good guys" only use force when attacked.
3) Violence is discouraged in the game.
4) Players are penalized for every "death" they inflict.
5) Trying to convert others by force will cause a player to lose the game.
"To our knowledge, CAIR has never condemned the killing of American troops
or tried to discourage fellow Muslims from taking the lives of Americans in
uniform overseas - although they have tried to foment rage against the
troops by publicizing negative stories, most of which were previously
obscure."

Taliban treasurer Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Osmani was nailed. (Hm, other
reports had him as an important military commander. "Whatever") FoxNews and
other sources simply say he was being followed closely. The Times of London
declares that his cell phone was being tracked.
The Times says, "Military souces said he had been killed by a strike on his
vehicle as he and his aides left a village in the Zahre area. An RAF R1
monitoring aircraft is believed to have been tracking him. The aircraft was
working with a US special operations team, including members of Delta Force,
plus intelligence specialists from a unit known as Task Force Orange who
tracked him on the ground."
"The satellite telephone signal allowed the RAF aircraft to pinpoint
Osmani's location. As he headed out of the village in a 4x4, a US plane
dropped a smart bomb onto the vehicle."
Fox News declares, "A top Taliban military commander described as a close
associate of Usama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar was killed in an
airstrike this week close to the border with Pakistan, the U.S. military
said Saturday. A Taliban spokesman denied the claim."

Mostly Christian Ethiopia has declared war on the Somali Jihadis. Just who
started the fracas is unknown. But the Ethiopians are bringing in the big
guns in support of the UN sponsored government in Somalia. The big gun that
bugs the Jihadis the most is air strikes. I hope our government has the
courage to support the Ethiopians enthusiastically and look the other way
when the Ethiopians get a little more "enthusiastic" than is polite in our
part of the world. They live in a different reality and morality.
Enforcing ours on them is foolish.
Charles Johnson notes the local (US) CAIR reactions to the Somali Jihadi
government was an unqualified "it's a good thing". Then the Jihadis got just
raw enough that CAIR figures it was time to temper their open support. They
pulled their former support posting from their website so quickly it left a

In an article titled "Cherry Picking" Robert Spencer takes on critics again.
It seems when he does this he produces some of his finest off the cuff
responses. A central declaration in his article reads as follows:
"Nor am I "bent on depicting the faith of 1/5 of humanity as intolerant,
violent, and anti-western." I am bent on showing what the jihadists use in
Islamic texts and teachings to make recruits and justify their actions, and
bent on asking self-proclaimed moderates like Louay Safi to deal with that
material forthrightly."
The quicker we learn and the more who learn that the Jihadis use the Qur'an
and other central Mohammedan literature to fuel their hatred and terror the
better off we will be. We need to understand that it is not us, you and me,
who have done something wrong that has these Jihadis against us. They hate
us because we are not Mohammedans. (Even if we were they'd still hate us if
we were Shi'ite and they were Sunni or vice versa. If we were Sufi both
would hate us. If we were Ahmadiyyad both would be foaming at the mouth at
us just as they are right now.)
Robert describes a strong basis for this hatred and warfare this way:
"As for context, in his sira, Muhammad's earliest biographer Ibn Ishaq
explains the contexts of various verses of the Qur'an by saying that
Muhammad received revelations about warfare in three stages: first,
tolerance; then, defensive warfare; and finally, offensive warfare in order
to convert the unbelievers to Islam or make them pay the jizya (see Qur'an
9:29, Sahih Muslim 4294, etc.). Qur'anic commentaries, tafasir, by Ibn
Kathir, Ibn Juzayy, As-Suyuti and others also emphasize that Surat At-Tawba
-- the Qur'an's ninth chapter -- abrogates every peace treaty in the Qur'an."

like a typical fanatical Mohammedan. To shouts of "Allahu akbar", the Jihadi

reading that. Charles points out some of Ellison's less savory links with
radical Mohammedanism.
Robert also has some telling commentary interspersed with his quotes of the
same story. Together they painting an unflattering and possibly dangerous
picture of Ellison. He writes the following regarding Ellison's support from
and ties with the Muslim American Society.
"The Muslim American Society has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and does not
deny a report published in the Chicago Tribune in 2004 that it hopes to
replace the U.S. Constitution with the Qur'an. According to terror expert
Steven Emerson, the Islamic Circle of North America "Another individual who
was quoted in the New York Times was an official of the Islamic Circle of
North America, again portrayed as a mainstream group.
What they didn't reveal is the Islamic Circle of North America "is a Jamad
Islamia group, which is on record as calling for jihad in the United States,
to promote the notion of an Islamic world. ICNA also published something
very recently saying that they are against suicide bombings, except when it
comes to killing Israelis.""
That reads to me dangerously like openly advocating the violent overthrow of

And Hugh Fitzgerald on JihadWatch has an essay trying to determine what it

actually used in the ceremony hardly matters. What matters is that Keith
Ellison believes -- with the firm faith of the convert, a faith that is
often much more firm and often much more fanatical than many a Muslim born
into Islam -- that the Qur'an is the uncreated and immutable Word of God.
And that Qur'an is full of things about the duty of Jihad, about the duty of
behaving toward all non-Muslims with at least ("do not take Christians and
Jews as friends" etc.) and at most sheer murderousness ("kill the
Unbelievers" etc.)."
Then he spends the article examining that assertion and others. Then he
demands of reporters out doing interviews that they ask these questions of
Ellison to get answers.
Now. I note that depending on his beliefs the answers received may not
necessarily be true. There are justifications in the Qur'an and Hadith for
lying to unbelievers if it is convenient. That even makes holding his hand
on the Qur'an a meaningless gesture. So why bother to ask? Examine his
personal history and political ties instead.

Daniel Pipes writes in the New York Sun that we might actually lose to the
"Islamists (defined as those who demand to live by the sacred law of Islam)"
or at least suffer greatly at their hands.
"They could even win. That's because, however strong the Western hardware,
its software contains some potentially fatal bugs. Three of them
- pacifism, self-hatred, complacency - deserve attention."
Regarding complacency he remarks, "Box cutters and suicide belts make it
difficult to perceive this enemy as a worthy opponent. Senator Kerry and too
many others dismiss terrorism as a mere "nuisance."" I note that the box
cutters, suicide belts, Katyusha rockets, and all that "primitive stuff" is
surely killing lot of people in the Middle East, VASTLY more than we are
killing with our fancy military machine. (See the second link below.)
In the second half of his article he lists many of the things that the
Mohammedans bring to the table. (The phrase "a complete lack of conventional
morality towards non-Mohammedans" sums it all up. But the summation loses
the breadth of the details.)

Islam Watch has a rather long article regarding the Religion of Peace aspect
of the Jihadi lies. It drags out the intolerant verses, puts them into
chronological context, and analyzes them. The results are virtually a
description of what the Jihadis are doing and the reasons they cite. Again,
it is because we are not Mohammedans, not because we have committed some
imagined wrong on the Mohammedans.
"Deceptive Muslims would normally scour the whole Koran to extract a few
verses which sound relatively reconciliatory, yet hardly worthy of any value
for peaceful coexistence in the modern civilized society. Brig.
Zaman (Bangledeshi author of the article being refuted) has done exactly the
same, ignoring scores of cruel, aggressive and retaliatory verses in the
Koran. He also did bother to consider the temporal context of these
apparently non-aggressive verses. Weren't those verses revealed during the
early days of Prophet Muhammad's preaching mission when his community was
only a feeble force? Isn't it true that all the hate-filled and retaliatory
verses in Koran were revealed only the Muslim community had become a
fighting force?"

Charles Johnson has a good dense article with a lot of links regarding how
the "Associated Press and the New York Times have both been misstating the
terms of the so-called "roadmap to peace," in order to accuse Israel and the
Palestinians of equally failing to live up to their agreements."
Among the links is the roadmap itself. Trying to tar Israel with the same
brush as the Palestinians is despicable. So, of course, the Associated Press
and the New York Times revel in it.
The roadmap to peace has been the roadmap to unfettered Hamas attacks and
rearmament.
He also discusses how the Palestinians can fire rockets into Israel at will
without breaking the roadmap. But let the Israelis renew attacks designed to
stop the rocket attacks and the AP screams about their breaking the roadmap
to peace. The AP is utterly without shame.

Greg Sheridan traces the death of religious tolerance in Malaysia for "The
Australian".
"LAWYER Malik Imtiaz Sawar seems a most unlikely person to attract death
threats. A small, softly spoken, friendly man, the impression he gives is
above all one of consideration."
"What has earned him the death threats is his appearance in court on behalf
of Lina Joy, a case that has become a battleground of Malaysian political
and cultural identity, and of freedom of religion."
"The case highlights what some analysts believe is the Arabisation of
Malaysian Islam, a dynamic that can also be seen in Indonesia."
"Lina Joy was once a Muslim but has converted to Christianity. She didn't do
so to make any broad point or to lead any social movement. It was entirely a
private decision. But in Malaysia the state takes official notice of your
race and religion."
It used to be this was a no problem situation. Now it invites death threats
as the Arabization of Malaysia takes place. The Saudi Arabians have exported
their Wahhabi sect's radical and vicious brand of Mohammedanism to Asia. It
is taking hold. Violence, death, and terrorism are spreading. And our
President fiddles in Iraq as the world burns. It MAY be time to do something
very dramatic in Saudi Arabia. But then, it may, also, be quite a bit too
late for that to work.
This quote from the article of a statement by the president of UMNO in
Malaysia is telling.
""Today is the culmination of two decades of the Islamic situation.
Islam has a more conservative colour today, yes. Default position is a more
conservative one. It also has something to do with the post-9/11 world.
There is a feeling that Muslims are under siege.""
This highlights the Mohammedan "victimization" stance while they are being
the aggressors. But the Qur'an REQUIRES them to be the victim of attacks
before they can attack in return. So they manufacture the attacks.
Yesterday's long article from Islam-watch exposes the notion that Mohammed
himself, the most excellent example for human behavior, was not above this
ploy.

The Human Rights Watch Report on the Lebanese ambulance attack is out.
And refutations to it are floating around the "blogosphere". Charles has a

it wasn't so deadly serious. "Zombie" at zombietime.com has been leading
charge about the ambulance hoax. Zombie has a refutation plus pointer to the
report. It's the second link on the article below.
One thing Zombie touches on briefly that strikes me as most important is the
supposed near vertical trajectory. For that to happen the projectile would
have to have left the launch vehicle and lost most of its horizontal
velocity while retaining vertical velocity sufficient to puncture the roof,
gurney, floor, and alleged road all without leaving any other damage than
narrowing holes for each progressive puncture. It seems the Israelis have
invented a magic projectile that gets smaller as it penetrates and leaves no
particles in its wake. And that projectile still has sufficient energy and
strength to completely disappear into a hole it made in the road.

There is a troubling aspect to his abrupt demise. It cut short the investigation into the Halabja mass murder of Kurds. That was trial was supposed to be VERY symbolic to the Kurds. This denies them their victory over the monster. I suspect the decision to avoid further trials and get rid of Saddam was done as much as a political slight to the Kurds as it was a gesture of being done with the monster. Time will tell.
Of all the sites I looked at the Fox News site had the most "lurid" headlines. CNN was perhaps the most tasteful. That's "interesting" in some way. I am not sure what it tells me, though. LGF might be the best, a simple announcement and nothing else. He is a nice contrast to CNN's wall to wall Saddam.

Hugh Fitzgerald has posted an essay about the execution of Saddam. In it he notes that the Arab nations never once raised a voice or finger in Saddam's direction for his various atrocities. The ONE exception in the Mohammedan world was Iran, who were "annoyed" that Saddam had killed so many of their soldiers using chemical weapons. Hugh has some of the same misgivings about the execution that I have.

Pigs fly over at Little Green Footballs. He has awarded Kudos for the event I mentioned last week (23rd). Barbara Boxer has rescinded an award to CAIR.
"Boxer's office confirmed to NEWSWEEK that she has withdrawn a "certificate of accomplishment" to Sacramento activist Basim Elkarra after learning that he serves as an official with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). After directing her staff to look into CAIR, Boxer "expressed concern" about some past statements and actions by the group, as well as assertions by some law enforcement officials that it "gives aid to international terrorist groups," according to Natalie Ravitz, the senator's press spokeswoman."
It astounded me, too. It must have floored MSNBC so much it has taken them 6 days to get around to reporting on it. They're Charles's source.
And I *LOVE* the response from CAIR that Charles found. Delicious is an understatement. It's CLASSIC CAIR "Islamophobia" rhetoric. And do not forget that the purpose of this rhetoric is to convince other Mohammedans of persecution so that the clauses in the Qur'an that prohibit violence unless in retaliation for persecution or warfare against Mohammedans can be twisted to allow and justify the violence.

If you have a LOT of spare time, want to get educated, and are not in the least allergic to an incredible lot of reading Abdul Kasem can come to your rescue from Sydney Australia via the web. His home page on Islam Watch is not completely up to date. The second URL below is a "cheat" to get to the latest sections of a very long essay on Bisim Allah, In the Name of Allah. It describes what is ordered done in the name of Allah in the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the Hadith. It isn't pretty.
In his essay titled "Who Authored the Quran?" he examines precisely that question and comes up with answers wildly at odds with Mohammedan orthodoxy, all using the historical Mohammedan documents as his sources.
As I say, it is a VERY long set of documents. You can be reading here for several days or even weeks. You will come out the other end perhaps with more questions than when you started. But they'll be far more knowledgeable questions, to be sure.

Reuters has recorded reactions, in somewhat pro-Saddam terms, to his demise at the end of a rope. It affected al-Gaddafi so much with its solid reminder of the mortality of dictators that he has declared 3 days of mourning and eid celebrations canceled. Remember, Muammar, you too can be deposed, replaced, and hung if you get out of line. Ahmadinejad is probably musing on this now. But he's VERY sure the US cannot invade Iran. Of course, we might not get him right away. But it'd be more fun, actually, if we kept the idiot holed up in a cave somewhere deprived of his comforts of life.
All over the Arab world leaders are no doubt reflecting on this. NOW one must wonder what will be their reactions.

Hugh Fitzgerald takes issue with a Robert Spencer observation that Saddam was a "secular Arab nationalist." Hugh notes that Saddam was aware of and more than ready to employ the levers of Mohammedan history when it was convenient. He also had pretensions of becoming the leader, caliph, of a pan-Arabic Sharia based nation. He used tools that were available, religious or secular, as long as they advanced him towards his goal.
He discusses Nasser, the Syrian leaders (Alawites), and others casting some light on the murky world of Mohammedan politics. He concludes, "But real "secularists" in the Western sense? Never. Not possible."

Do remember that CAIR is VERY MUCH not a moderate Mohammedan outfit. They are also the sponsors of the six flying imams. "CAIR has also been dogged by the statements of Omar Ahmad, as reported by a California newspaper, that "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant," and, "The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." Although the newspaper's publisher and the reporter stand by the quotes, Ahmad and CAIR dispute their accuracy."
The NY Times ombudsman describes how the story of a woman in El Salvador was convicted of strangling her newborn was morphed into her being convicted of having an abortion. It highlights how news reporting can get corrupted by remarkably little things. It's important to bear this in mind with regards to the ambulance stories and other aspects of what appear to be egregiously wrong reporting. At least the NY Times did not stonewall when it was pointed out that their article was a riff based on a factually wrong report.

Then once they DO revert to savagery repeat the exercise not bothering to try to be as precise and nice about so called collateral damage.

Another unsavory part of the Qur'an is its repeated approval of slavery. This practice is again flourishing in the Mohammedan world with the overall resurgence of Mohammedanism in general.

I still think that based on the general practices of fully observant and faithful Mohammedans that "Allah" was really Satan in disguise. Almost every bit of good that the Judeo-Christian West has eked out of our past and history is specifically negated in Mohammedan scripture, the Qur'an, Hadith, and Sunnah.

When you indulge in pagan rituals you can expect pagan rewards, even if you are Mohammedan. Animal sacrifice is a feature of the Mohammedan ritual held over because of popular demand from the pagans converted over to Mohammedanism in its earliest days. It was a fun feature. Now it's deadly.
When you live by killing and slaughtering your own food an animal sacrifice is no different from every day life. You just mumble a few special words and get on with it. But modern city dwellers do not spend their days slaughtering and dressing their own food. They go to the store. So when they try to perform the ritual slaughter, which is pretty ugly and cruel to the animals involved since they are not stunned first, bad things happen. This includes stab wounds, crushed legs from animals falling on them, lost toes, cranes used to lift the animals falling on your head, and so forth. Why, one might think that Allah was displeased with all this primitive pagan hold over stuff, wouldn't you? But then, you're sane. By education and indoctrination too many of the Mohammedans are basically not even close to sane. <Grin>

So would the worse than slavery live of women under Mohammedanism, as I pointed out on the 29th. (Both are Abdul Kasem articles.) And so would warfare until all of the psychopaths were of one single strain of Mohammedanism.)

India averts a major terror attack in New Delhi that featured bombs hidden in toys. Anything is acceptable to Jihadis as long as it kills infidels, and they do not care WHICH infidels they kill. We're all the same to psychopaths, sheep for the slaughter. We need to respect (and pay) our wolves in the military more than we do now. They and our security services are the thin human line between us and 7th century darkness. If I appear to be too harsh on ALL Mohammedans it's because I do not hear them raising nearly the same ruckus about this sort of nasty activities that I hear over the simple "Mohammed Cartoons." It leaves me feeling that the "minority of moderate Mohammedans" may be as small as "dozens" in the world today. If that is the case we're doomed to having to commit atrocities to save ourselves.

In some interestingly good news for this Christmas and New Years season consider the state of Christianity in Holland, the ultimate secular lead in Europe, or such is what most people seemed to think. Young Dutch people are moving back to Christianity in a very loud manner. Methinks they may have had it {I gesture above my head} up to here with the Mohammedans. It's not a post-Christian future. Perhaps it is a post secular future?

Newly released documents reveal several gaffes and astounding events in Australia related to Mohammedans. "Thirty years ago Bob Hawke, then Labor Party and ACTU president, faced assassination at the hands of Palestinian militants for his strong pro-Israel views."
In 1976 security authorities warned of the rising tide of Palestinian terrorism. It also warned of the rising tide of Lebanese immigrants. Had the nation acted then Australia would have fewer problems today. It pays to listen when your security authorities issue warnings. Instead PM Malcolm Fraser denied a problem and tried to integrate them into Australian society. Of course, it did not work.

LGF has an interesting comparison of two reports taken from the same interview. We have AP's "spin" as compared to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's report, the original from which AP extracted its fluff. IMAO the Associated Press should NOT have any news media privileges. They are an entertainment outlet and enemy propaganda mill.
(I become extremely conflicted when I find myself citing an NY Times article or an AP article. Neither fact checks at all well. And both tend to paint the facts in colors to suit their biases rather than simply presenting the facts as facts as colorlessly as possible.)

"Somali PM: Kismayo, last jihadist stronghold, has fallen" reads the headline. The article goes on to say that the Somalis already face armed bands of Mohammedans taking advantage of the power vacuum to create even more havoc and destruction. The government may be in charge of the cities; but, their status as such is tenuous at beat.

Today Islam Watch takes on the Qur'anic Science advocates who claim that not only is the Qur'an your ideal guide for every day life but it is filled with "scientific miracles" such as predicting the atom, describing gestation, the airplane, and so forth. They have even gone so far as to claim the Moon split on Mohammed's command and later came back together. They claim NASA admits this. Now, NASA may do some idiotic things. But this is not one of them. Nor is it true, as the Qur'anic Science folks claim, that Neil Armstrong converted to Mohammedanism while on the Moon.
The article is a fun takedown of some really idiot assertions about the Qur'an and the world we live in. The Earth ain't flat guys, even though the Qur'an and 1982 fatwas claim it is.

The British played it cagey when they did not arrest Umran Javed, who stands "accused of soliciting to murder unbelievers and Danes and Americans, and of inciting racial hatred, in a speech outside the Danish Embassy in Central London in February last year." They waited until well after the demonstration was over before arresting him. Unfortunately they did not anticipate his wife would destroy papers the investigators had touched but not taken along because they were "unclean." Still, this is mostly a win on the anti-terrorism front.

Oh my, now we have full encryption to deal with from the terrorists.

However, I suspect they have been using PGP quite successfully for years now. That's a very good privacy tool. But it's in English. That made it a little harder for the "Mujahideen", the terrorists.

Now former CNN head Eason Jordan is chiming in on AP's Jamil Hussein scandal. He calls on the AP to come clean about this fraud AND the *60* articles sourced to this name. Two governments and uncounted investigators have been unable to find Hussein, his family, his coworkers, or even someone who knows him well - other than perhaps other mythical AP personnel. THIS is what we rely on for a news agency providing the raw data from which we base our opinions and plans. This is NOT good.
So the AP continues to stonewall. "Kathleen Carroll, AP executive editor, told E&P today that she had not read Jordan's latest item, posted Monday, and likely would not. But she stood by the news organization's previous statements backing the existence of an Iraqi police captain, Jamail Hussein."
As I see it the time has come for those direct customers as AP may have should turn off the money feed by refusing to carry AP coverage of ANY sort. This might get that Carroll "person's" attention. A direct shot such as that to her stockholders gonads might draw some attention.

A reporter takes off the blinders and estimates the chances Palestine has of ever becoming a viable state. Paul Sheehan writes on this concept in the Sidney Morning Herald. He concludes "no way."
"Not only won't there be a sovereign Palestinian state, there can't be."
"It's no longer viable. At every historic juncture since Israel was created in 1948, rhetoric has taken precedence over pragmatism in the Arab world. As a result, every one of these historic junctions has resulted, without exception, in material defeat for the Palestinians."
He analyzes the situation from a day one of 1948. He is right, ya know. The Palestinians have demonstrated they cannot build a nation or anything else other than terrorists, suicide bombers, rockets, violence, poverty, and children who grow up to be more of the same.

The Sharia courts of Somalia were supposed to be popular because they brought peace to the area. Robert Spencer explodes this nonsense. He then suggests that instead of being popular in Somalia they were, instead, very popular here in the US with expat Somalis. Spencer notes that in many US AND foreign cities (Minneapolis, Oslo, etc) strong support was voiced by Mohammedans residents. Meanwhile, the residents of Mogadishu cheered the invading troops for rescuing them. THAT is how bad Sharia courts can be.
Demonstrations in Minneapolis indicate a potential serious problem brewing in that area. It may be time to suggest strongly, as Australia has done, that those who do not want to become Americans living by and abiding by American laws should leave the country. Sure, Minneapolis might lose a lot of taxi drivers. But they'd sleep better at night without the Jihadis in their midst.

The State Department here in the US ran a scam on the people of their own country for over 30 years when they declared that there was no evidence that Arafat was associated with the murder of three US diplomats by Palestinian terrorists who had kidnapped them. Caroline Glick has a long story delineating just how pernicious this lie became over the years since the killings. It had to appear in the Jerusalem Post, of course. It's too heady a charge of dynamite to feed to the US public. Our MSM is mostly ignoring it the way then President Nixon ignored it - just like all our subsequent Presidents ignored it.
"The media's silence on the issue does not merely raise red flags abut their objectivity. By not availing the American public to the knowledge that Fatah and the PLO have been specifically targeting Americans for 33 years, the media has denied the American people basic knowledge of the world in which they live."

"Europe's got a huge problem, and they're just getting their minds around it now." They do indeed. Hugh Fitzgerald has an essay explicating just what the officials learn about the invading Mohammedans.
The Mohammedans quite clearly do not intend to become nationals of the countries. They remain Mohammedans with Sharia law as their goal. Forget about their being Swedes, Danes, Norwegians, British, Dutch, Germans, or even Americans. Our leaders never seem to learn this. Instead they learn all about multi-culturalism. It is time our leaders learn about the deadly passages in the Qur'an, Hadith, and Sunnah.

"A Christian woman who once served as an FBI informant on her husband's alleged support of terrorism now is seeking divorce from the self-described radical Muslim who told her he would be proud if their two teen sons blew themselves up for Allah."
That is bad enough for the woman. The "worse" is that the judge in the divorce court allowed her lawyer to withdraw, would not allow for other lawyer to enter the case, and would not allow time for other representation to be found. She stands to stay married to a man who would spirit her and her two sons unwillingly off to Syria. The eldest son expects a beating upon his arrival.
This is not your average Mohammedan she is dealing with. Her opponents include "the adherents of blind Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman." Read about it on World Net Daily.

MEMRI cites the editor of "London Pro-Saddam Daily" commenting that Saddam went to the noose without any particular outcry from the Arab leaders of the area. Indeed more than 300 million Arbs stayed silent until a couple days after Saddam's hanging. So maybe the Arab leaders knew this was a rather bad egg being put away? Or were they sitting well aware that they, too, could face the same event in their own countries were the situation even subtly different.

"Iran is supporting both Sunni and Shiite terrorists in the Iraqi civil war, according to secret Iranian documents captured by Americans in Iraq."
Now this is a little surprising. Shi'ites don't normally support Sunnis. I guess "enemy of my enemy" is the operational phrase. The real surprise is that our intelligence services had NO IDEA that it was this far along and this bad. That is very bad news. At least we now have the heads up and can work with the material - if Bush is willing. It may be time for Bush to stand up in the UN for the US and make some "make or break" declarations about Iran and the support Iran is getting from China and Russia. A modest reminder that the nuclear armed missile option remains open, might be a good idea, too. Heck, we might even mean it, too. Yes, the documents are THAT bad.

Perhaps the reason we have not crossed into Pakistan in hot pursuit of terrorists is recognition that Musharraf is walking a real tightrope to try to keep Pakistan as progressive and moderate as it is in its major cities. An example of the contrasts between the rigidly radical Mohammedan hinter- lands and the cities is exemplified by a cross dresser, one Begum Nawazish Ali, aka Ali Saleem."
"When She Speaks, Hes Breaking All of Islams Taboos". And the public in the cities laps it up. Moderate Mohammedans do exist. They just are too afraid in most cases to do something to foster the continuance and growth of their moderate beliefs.
This indicates that Musharraf's tightrope dance needs to be supported, perhaps at severe cost. I hope that cost does not get TOO great.

Mohammedans are making demands for concessions from the Minneapolis/ St. Paul airport. They DEMAND their own prayer room where they can say their prayers (or is that coordinate their terrorist activities) without any unbelievers present. They are also demanding concessions for cabbies so they can refuse to allow dogs, alcohol, or anything else they consider against THEIR religion in their cabs.
I have the temerity to comment that they should either go home, back to Somalia, or learn to live in the US by US rules, regulations, and laws as superior to the laws they consider proper. They are in OUR country now, not theirs. They act like they think it is THEIR country. A pox on them.

It seems our intelligence community is unwilling to accept candidates for Arabic translation jobs who are not Mohammedan.
"Almost four fifths of both Arabic and Farsi speakers in the U.S. are non-Muslims: Middle East Christians: Copts, Maronite, Orthodox, Syriac, Assyrian Chaldeans, Mizrahi Jews, Zoroastrians. Add to that native American language specialists and apostate Muslims and you begin to see a pattern of discrimination in our national security agencies: FBI, CIA, DIA, NSA, and others. It is largely a product of moral equivalency blindness in the lackluster recruiting efforts of our national security system and intimidation by American Muslim community advocacy groups."
The author goes on to note that even when these people volunteer they are turned away as often as not. This is rather a disgrace, IMAO. Brilliant our intelligence community is one term that does not seem to describe or even remotely apply to our entire intelligence community. Idiot seems a much closer match.

many excuses for violence against women:
###
To further highlight this issue in the continuing article by Shabana Muhammad on Islam Watch we have a short piece of chapter 9 with a picture and story of a woman stoned to death in Iran in 1994. The Qur'an calls for burial to the shoulders and stones big enough to do damage but not to kill outright with the first stone. The intent is to inflict extreme pain. The intent is torture. The woman, already blinded by having her eyes gouged out, dug her way out and started running. She was shot for her troubles. At least that ended her pain.
The modern Iranian means of killing such heinous criminals as rape victims is to be hanged slowly using a crane to lift them from the ground by the rope around their neck. Again, the intent is that they die slowly with great pain.
And these barbarians call us here in the US degenerate heathens. They are also intent on either converting, absolutely subjugating, or killing you, me, and everybody else IN THE WORLD.
The only heartening thing about this is that Shabana, apparently a Mohammedan, is speaking out against these Mohammedan horrors. The little detail is that Shabana, and his/her associates on Islam Watch, are a small band of Mohammedan Apostates who have LEFT Mohammedanism and are detailing their reasons for the rest of us to read. We need more of them.

As I've mentioned before Mohammedans get "testy" about Mohammedans who convert to Christianity. It appears Tehran has been experiencing a rash of this even though Christians are less than 1 percent of the population.
Mad dog Ahmadinejad has ordered a crack down on this requiring pastors file reports of who attends church functions. They also have to obtain a permit to celebrate mass. When is the last time we had a crack down on someone changing from Catholic to Buddhist, Anglican, Judaism, or even to Mohammedanism? The general take in the US by his or her former peers is that the person who did this made a bone headed mistake. Then they drop it and at worst ease away any associations with the person. Mohammedans take it as a mortal insult to their religion and often resort to killing the people who convert out of Mohammedanism. (That is what Qur'an, Sunnah, and Hadith require, ya know.)

The French have renewed my faith in their "French-ness". Awhile back a court made an astoundingly sensible decision. An extreme right group was serving pork soup to the needy. The court upheld their right to do so. If the needy could not tolerate the pork soup there were other alternatives they could patronize.
So a Council of State, the country's highest administrative body, has reversed that ruling. They called it a purely discriminatory measure, at least if a right wing extremist group does it.
Now, as I think about it how many different religious dietary laws are there? They can't serve a vegetarian only menu because that would insult and not feed properly those who will eat meat and won't eat many vegetables. Um. Bush the elder and broccoli comes to mind. {^_-} But you can't serve meat or even French fries cooked in animal fat because that would insult and injure vegetarians. The Council of State's logic simply does not run in a sensible direction. Viva la France! Nonsensical and politically correct to the end.
Yeah, it was aimed at Mohammedans. But if that's a problem let the Mohammedans start their own soup kitchen. Or are they only capable of incinerating cars - to the tune of 200 to 400 a night 365.24 days a year.

As expected Basim Elkarra and CAIR are going on the persecution offensive yet again. He is claiming to have received a death threat and has the FBI investigating it. And CAIR is screaming about a video that came out talking about open season on Mohammedans.

Spanish bishops remember well the reasons for the reconquista. They are sounding the alarm in Spain about the proposals by Mohammedans to make of Cordoba a Mohammedan magnet with a huge religious shrine. The ever growing number of large mosques is threatening to eclipse the Christian presence.
If for no other reason religions such as the Catholic churches have a purpose as a racial memory bank for the reasons behind events such as the crusades. They have reason to remember. They have long memories.
Purely secular humans do not have this form of long term memory working for them. No secularist bishop historians are present to warn us of the resurgence of the Mohammedans and their violence, destruction, hate, and terror.
Churches are a natural reservoir of racial experience. We should support them as such for their moral and ethical teachings even if we eschew their "superstition" and "mumbo jumbo." But I guess the atheists out there are afraid that belief is a highly dangerous and contagious disease or something. Of course, they have Mohammedanism to point towards to support that argument. Why do they always seem to point to Christianity instead? Hm? At least pick a religion WORTHY of your disdain, twits.

"Canadian pol receives death threats for being "anti-Muslim""
This might not be remarkable. "Anti-Muslim" seems to be a remarkably common complaint lodged by the more vocal crypto-extremists such as CAIR when they address non-Mohammedans who complain about Mohammedan terrorist or terrorist support activities. But in this case it is rather remarkable. The Canadian pol is, himself, a "Muslim". "But after last year's terror arrests in Canada, he "expressed frustration that some Muslim community leaders had emphasized that Islam was not to blame for the arrests.""
His life is in danger now, I bet. To lodge this complaint against him strongly suggests these more extreme Mohammedans consider him to be apostate. That is, according to requirements in the Qur'an and Hadith, a mandatory death penalty offense.
Wajid Khan is also an "apostate" from the liberal party. He has moved over to the Conservatives, the latest one of many who have done so. He is also a Canadian at heart THEN a Mohammedan, it would appear.

"...why does Bush or someone else..."
Hugh Fitzgerald asks that repeatedly. Why have they not brought together a collection of the hate pamphlets from Saudi financed mosques in the US. Why have they not placed them all on a table and then invited all the ambassadors of Saudi Arabia and other Mohammedan nations to view the table and answer for its contents with the entire DC press corps in attendance to watch their reactions? We must ask them formally what they think they are doing. It is time to make they pay for the results of their hate ridden religious messages. It seems to me it is time, oil be damned. If they try to cut it off we simply take it as payment for the grief they have caused us. About $10 trillion dollars ought to be enough recompense. That is how much money has flowed into those nations over the years. It's been spent on causing the west grief in the name of spreading Mohammedanism until it is a universal religion for the world. Meanwhile Arab nations themselves remain backwards and evil places to live.
In particular it is time to call Saudi Arabia and Iran to account.

She sticks up for the rights of Mohammedan women. Her offices were in Berlin. She has finally had to terminate her practice after suffering beatings from enraged Mohammedan husbands over divorce proceedings Seyran was handling for her women clients. She has received innumerable death threats. She has been shot and badly wounded. She has been beaten. The police guard her home. She finally decided to end her law practice because it is too dangerous. Mohammedans have essentially run amok - in Berlin.
How long will it be before we see this happening in the US. And will we, the citizens of the United States of America, the bastion of the Free World, have the collective will to deal with it as it must be handled? I sincerely hope so. I fear that we won't deal with it before we have to get rather dramatically forceful with it AND have our own military fighting on our own land to recapture our own country. Imagine the ignominy of that if you will. How many soccer mom SUVs would it take to make up for this when it happens?

The Times of London suggests that China and the US might be better off if we started cooperating more. We both are facing Mohammedan problems. We just had some fun in that regard in Somalia. China has just "removed" a terrorist training camp in its Xinjang province, which is overwhelmingly Mohammedan. As they start to recognize the scope of the Mohammedan problem maybe they will act with us in dealing with the Iranians.

Nathalie Szerman has written an artucle describing the apparent views Reformist author Abdelwahab Meddeb. Meddeb was born in Tunisia in 1946, and has been living in Paris since 1968. Meddeb has written and published several books about Mohammedanism which have created quite a stir.
Szerman's article chiefly concentrates on the aspects of reform which must take place in Mohammedanism for it to remain pertinent in the modern world. Meddeb notes that Mohammedanism has become a prudish society rather than an open flourishing one which was learning tolerance and celebrated the human body and all the arts.
Meddeb also notes that the current anti-Semitism in Arab countries is directed towards imaginary Jews, the highly unrealistic monsters from the "Protocols of Zion." In this part of the discussion it is noted that the Protocols were imported directly by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who himself admitted the Holocaust and indeed admitted to taking part in it. "In his memoirs, {Al-Husseini, Mufti of Jerusalem} recalls a conversation with Himmler in the summer of 1943. [The latter] told [him] that three million Jews had already been exterminated as part of the 'Final Solution,' according to a methodical and industrialized plan... This excerpt from Al-Husseini's memoirs should be published in the Arab and Iranian press..."
Meddeb also states that the only solution to Mohammedanism's approach to women is to acknowledge that all Qur'anic verses regarding women's inferiority are obsolete. The veil must go.
Meddeb states that the only way for Mohammedanism to step towards the future and avoid becoming yet another old lost religion is for the religion to take a new direction and abandon the teachings of the extremists. In otherwords true Mohammedan Moderates must take their religion back from the extremists and make it relevant to the modern world.

Ellison "took his oath" on Jefferson's Qur'an. The MSM has not seen fit to review what Jefferson really thought of the Qur;an or Mohammedanism. Christopher Hitchens at Slate dug into the issue a little. It was Jefferson who sent ships to subdue the Barbary Pirates, Mohammedans charging what amounted to Jizyah on the US to shield our vessels from attack - protection money as it were. His possession of the Qur'an was not an article of respect for the document. It was an indication that he had learned the basics of "know your enemy." (Jefferson was pretty close to being an athiest at heart. He did create a heavily redacted version of the Bible which featured removal of all references to virgin birth and so forth.)
"It took several years of bombardment before the practice of kidnap and piracy and slavery was put down, but put down it was, Quranic justification or not."

Back on the 13th of December a man was arrested for wanting to learn to drive a hazmat truck but tried to dispense with the backing up training. It seems the anti-terrorism investigation of Mohammed Yousuf Mullawala, an Indian national Mohammedan, is being expanded. It may have been fortunate that he drew attention by being impatient and wanting to dispense with some of the training but still get his license. His cell phone records are "problematic."
He also enrolled in three different colleges, listed seven different addresses, multiple drivers licenses, and other strange actions have led to, among other things, identity theft charges. It's indeterminate if his cooperation with authorities is real or simply apparent. The veracity of his replies to questions is itself in question.

Hugh Fitzgerald discusses why Robert Spencer's recent book, "The Truth About Mohammed", is so dangerous, because he knows too much. Or at least Robert's point of view is wrong. Also note Robert's explanations of some of the things the Pakistanis found so offensive that they had to ban his book from the country.
I guess they do not like the thought that Westerners might be reading material about Mohammed that their own recent Pakistani Brigadier S. K. Malik (author of The Quranic Concept of War) wrote. It reveals the truely violent nature of Mohammed and Mohammedanism.
Remember that most Pakistanis, Mohammedan or not, do not understand, read, or write Arabic. So they are spoon feed the "good stuff" without the nastiness of things like 9.29. They memorize the sounds of the Arabic. But just like most Catholics in the days of Latin masses, they do not understand a word of the thing beyond the war cry, "Allahu Ahkbar". These innocents might get motivated to leave the religion if they knew too much. And Spencer's book would teach them.

Back to the AP "Jamil Hussein" scandal we have the suddenly "found" Capt Jamil Gholaiem Hussein is now equally suddenly unfound. This is the source cited by AP for about 60 stories from Baghdad about various attrocities or other events. It turns out a Capt Jamil Ghdaab Gulaim is assigned there. But he denies being the source, and certainly does not share more than the first name and a possible mistranslation of his last name as the purported last name for the ghost reporter. So AP is back on the hook for using sources that are fictitious. Ah well. We've grown to expect that. They also play copycat.

"Isaac Schrödinger" is the pseudonym for an apostate Mohammedan, a Pakistani, who has been granted refugee status in Canada. He is also has a blog in which he has chronicled his growth away from Mohammedanism and his apostasy. He had to face the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board. He naively tried to do it himself. He mentioned his worries on his blog. Others noticed, set up donation buttons, and soon he had a lawyer to help him. Ultimately he found himself at the hearing. Perhaps one of the telling features of surviving his three and a half hour ordeal, besides his unwavering testamony, was this outburst.
(Quoting)
The RPO also asked me about life in Pakistan. "Can't you live some place in
Pakistan where you can be safe?""
"No."
"Do you know the word "secular"?"

"Can't you live as a secular Muslim in Pakistan?"
"I agree with the first part, the secular part, but I don't agree with the second. I don't want to behave like, and live as, a non-practicing Muslim or a secular Muslim when I'm not a Muslim!"
That was by far my most animated and passionate response.

(Or better yet simply given to the Kurds to deal with the whole thing as US supported top dogs.) If we are not allowed to remove the terrorist leaders then the whole effort is mooted.
We should also breeze it around the Arab street in Iraq that their own government is trying to let the Iranians take over. That should go over really well with the Arabs, who generally do not like Persians very much unless they are dead.

Special health care for Mohammedans is a major agenda in Britain today. It seems the Mohammedans are demanding same sex doctors, special prayer rooms, and several other special perks. The way I see it they can have these perks if they sell off their big expensive ostentatious (Saudi paid for) mosques to fund these special services. Otherwise we have a very non-productive part of society demanding a huge expenditure that is special for them. If they want to live by their laws then they can leave the secular country rather than expect the country to change for them. THEY are the ones who volunteered to move to Britain. Nobody British forced them to move to Britain. If they find they do not LIKE Britain - let them leave. They are free to go any time they want.

Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani could not keep out of the fray any longer. His public statement says, "Everyone realizes the desperate need for unity and for renouncing divisions, avoiding sectarian fanaticism and avoiding arousing sectarian disputes."
He also cited "certain people" who worked to increase the strife. This is probably a veiled reference to the likes of Abdullah bin Jabrain who has referred to the Shi'ites as the Sunni's most vicious enemy. This is not just Wahabbi line. It is probably true. Despite what our radical lefties would have us believe our soldiers are effective but not vicious. The Shi'ites and Sunnis most definitely are vicious killers. It is not US soldiers who drill victim's rib cages and heads while the victims are still alive. We kill or capture them. If we capture them we treat them humanely, even by our standards. (Of course, this violates Mohammedan standards. We let them live. They don't. They torture then kill.)
Al-Sistani has his work cut out for himself trying to bring some calm and sanity to the zoo in Iraq. But he IS the top Shi'ite cleric and is also very well regarded by all. So maybe his pronouncement might do some good. Now if only a similarly well regarded Sunni cleric would open his mouth and say the same.

Robert Spencer found a good editorial in Investors Business Daily subtitled "Global Jihad: The ghastly plot by Muslim terrorists in Britain to kidnap and behead a British soldier to blackmail the U.K. into leaving Iraq is a grim reminder of the enemy we're fighting. And sadly, we need reminding."
The editorial declares it is time to take the gloves off and deal with the Mohammedans. This is very true. We either deal with them now in a more or less sane and civilized manner; or, we will have to do so later using far more draconian measures which may result in our forsaking some of the best qualities of our own civilization. Personally I find the latter choice is unaceptable.

In his piece about Mohammedanism and peace Warner MacKenzie states, "Islam, understands peace to be a different bird of a different feather, altogether." They also have a completely different view of "intolerance" than you and I might have.
Peace to a Mohammedan, according to the Qur'an, is a world that is uniformly Mohammedan and nothing else. Tolerance means tolerating other Mohammedans. It is nothing about tolerating Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians as other than second class "citizens", a step above slaves. All others are not tolerated at all except for convenience.
MacKenzie goes into more detail than the above to hammer home the point. If you have any doubts about this Mohammedan duplicity of word meanings then read his article. Heck, at least scan it anyway. His points are good.

Anything Muhammad did, Allah liked and approved. Anything Muhammad liked, Allah liked. Anything Muhammad did not like (often because he was inept at the pursuit - e.g. music) Allah scorned and indeed prohibited.

The Israeli Defense Forces oppose any Israeli intervention in Gaza between Hamas and Fatah, which is REALLY good sense. Let them kill each other off. At least when they are doing that they are not rocketing Israel and suicide bombing its civilians. Unfortunately, some elements of the Israeli leadership want to wade in. If Israel goes in I wish them luck. They WILL need it. (And maybe it will chasten some of their arrogance.)
There is NO way Israel could intervene and come out clean. Ask any police officer about how much he enjoys "family dispute" calls. You can't win. And you're likely going to come out covered with problems. There is always the danger that the family members would reunite to face what they see as a common enemy, the police, and jointly attack.
Hm, this is the problem we face in Iraq, too. But the unanimity of support for the various faction and their fighters is hardly as great as it is in Gaza.

Times of London reports datelined Washington that Ardeshire Hassanpour, a prize winning Iranian nuclear scientist, has died under mysterious circumstances. He worked at the Isfahan nuclear processing facility where centrifuges whip Uranium hexaflouride gas to separate the uranium isotopes for better use in bombs and reactors.
I love this paragraph: "Rheva Bhalla of Stratfor, the US intelligence company, claimed on Friday that Hassanpour had been targeted by Mossad and that there was "very strong intelligence" to suggest that he had been assassinated by the Israelis, who have repeatedly threatened to prevent Iran acquiring the bomb."
Note that the Iranian reports cite the cause as "gas poisoning".
Note also that they are working feverishly to have 3000 centrifuges assembled and online in time for Ahmadinejad's announce next Sunday - the 28th anniversary of the Islamic revolution - that 3,000 centrifuges have been installed at Natanz.
So I put together being in Isfahan which makes deadly uranium hexaflouride gas, a rush to get 3000 new centrifuges operating, and the reports from a fellow I dated for years who spent considerable time in Iran on classified projects in the 70s that the Iranians are notoriously "sloppy". Once these are assembled a picture breaks out that the "gas poisoning" reason is very likely true without any Mossad involvement at all. But it may help if they can maintain a reputation of being uncannily capable operators.

And it that is not enough one of Britain's most notorious hard line Mohammedan imams has warned that any Mohammedan joining the army can expect to be beheaded. It's Omar Bakri at it again.

There comes a time that free speech is no longer supportable. If these people want to live in a different sort of society then toss them all out to find a place to live that is more suitable to their tastes - British citizens or not.
Yes, I am speaking heresy to basic sources of British and US law. But when faced with a choice of absolute freedom of speech and action or the continuance of some form of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness which is appropriate? I admit, I am conflicted on this one. But somehow teaching hatred, often from the child's first days onwards, is not something I can see that a civilized nation can support within its borders.

Every once and awhile the NY Times slips and lets something good through. They posted a Q&A with Ayaan Hirsi Ali who recently wrote a book about herself and her growing up in Somalia as a Mohammedan. She is now a Dutch member of Parliament known for her advocacy for women and criticism of Mohammedanism. (It was a quote from her book yesterday that I posted with the warning about the description of female excision as practiced in Somalia.)
At the bottom of the interview she gives the bottom line on why there are no moderates out there preaching against the violent jihad and terror. Basically, it is because the Jihadis have the Qur'an, Hadith, and Sunnah they can point to. They are VERY true to it. Moderates lose all their arguments with the extremists on purely theological grounds. (Of course, the NY Times did have to get in the last dig. I wonder what the ellipses on her last answer hide.
As I have been saying the religion itself is our enemy. The world must be exposed to the religion's lack of clothing obscuring the real identity of its "god", Satan, old man evil himself. I wish the atheists would take on the job of "killing" Satan now that they believe they have killed God.

Robert Spencer quotes a bit from a David Thompson review of Spencer's latest book, "The Truth About Muhammad". The last paragraph Spencer quotes from the review echoes the comment Ayaan Hirsi Ali made about arguing with the terrorists about theology.
"Indeed, Spencer argues that, at present, it is the terrorists, not moderates and reformers, who have the stronger theological argument: "If peaceful Muslims can mount no comeback when jihadists point to Muhammad's example to justify violence, their ranks will always remain vulnerable to recruitment from jihadists who present themselves as the exponents of 'pure Islam', faithfully following Muhammad's example.""

Nissi "heads up the Lebanese Committee for UNSCR 1559, an NGO which advises and lobbies the Lebanese government and the international community for the disarmament of illegal militias in Lebanon as required by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1559." Nissi is too entirely to prominent and well connected for Hezbollah to kill him. Instead, they have tried to isolate him from the news media by simply declaring, "If you publish an interview with him we will kill you."
Nissi has some interesting takes on US politics, Lebanese politics, and how they relate to each other. If the US really committed the horror claims James Baker committed (handing Lebanon to Syria on a silver plate to gain Syria's support in Iraq) or the continued US support for Hezbollah in South Lebanon then our government is being more stupid than I thought. And that takes some doing.
Totten clarifies Nissi's statement about Baker, "Toni is referring here to Secretary of State James Baker who traded a green-light for Syrian domination of Lebanon in exchange for Syrian "help" in ousting Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. Most Americans have no idea this even happened, but Lebanese have never forgotten it. Hezbollah's Christian allies in Michel Aoun's Free Patriotic Movement in particular bang on this point again and again."
== QUOTE ==
Regarding US aid to Hezbollah in Lebanon Nissi declared, ""No," Toni said. "Because they want to integrate the Shia community. The Americans think that if they integrate the Shia they can teach them that democracy is good, that if they make them financially supported."
"Why do you think hundreds of millions of dollars flow to the Palestinians?" Noah said. "Same reason."
"It all gets stolen," I said.
"They think that by spending hundreds of millions of dollars that
they're going to liberalize the Palestinians," Toni said.

Basically we are seen as attempting to buy the radicals into being nice folks. It isn't going to happen. The Qur'an determines what will happen on their side. And it does not allow for peace short of jizyah, which tribute is EXACTLY what the Mohammedans see the foreign aid as being. It is time to do what Jefferson did, punish the so-and-so Mohammedans badly enough that they will think twice before attacking again. And that has to be almighty serious punishment, aimed at their leaders.

I found another good reference site for the History of Jihad over the nearly 1400 years the world has suffered with the cult of thugs. They with "How the Jihadi Mayhem began with the Jihad against the Arabs (622-634)" and continues to the present with no pulled punches.
=== QUOTE The History of Jihad site is brought to you by a panel of contributors. This site is coordinated by Robin MacArthur with Mahomet Mostapha and Naim al Khoury, New Jersey.
Other contributors to this site include professors and members of the faculty from the Universities of Stanford and Michigan (Ann Arbor), Kansas State University, Ohio State University, and the London School of Economics. We strongly suggest that this site be recommended as additional reading for students of Islamic History.
History of Jihad is against all forms of fanaticism - religious and non-religious. But the emotional appeal of non-religious fanaticism like Nazism, Fascism or Communism is not as pervasive as that of the religious fanaticism. When fanaticism and religion are mixed, we have a very potent and dangerous brew that can sustain itself for centuries unlike non-religious fanaticisms like Nazism and Communism which die out when the ringleaders are defeated
While all forms of religious fanaticism are negative, Islam is the most vicious and the most pressing danger we face today. This site is dedication to expose the danger of Islam. We support other people taking similar efforts against other religion posing smaller threats.
=== END QOUTE
Note their take on the history of Mohammed. For example, they declare that his "epileptic fits were behind his hallucinations that an angel spoke to him revealing the Quran".
It is rather clear that they do not think at all highly of Mohammed and instead consider him to be am epileptic, mentally unbalanced, bitter, likely victim of being molested as a child, brilliant manipulator of people from his culture.
There is months of reading here. It is made up, over all, of three web sites, History of Jihad, War on Jihad, and News on Terror.
Thanks to Islam Watch for the pointer.

The HoJ people have put a slightly different slant on the rantings out of Iran of late. It may be that they want to indulge in some Electro-Magnetic pulse nuclear war to disable the enemy so they can go in and mop them up while still leaving most of the cities in usable condition to be taken over. (It also gives the Iranians the visceral pleasure of torturing their victims in Qur'anically correct fashion. This would be things like cutting off an arm and a leg from opposite sides of the body, for example.)
"In an article titled, "Electronics to Determine Fate of Future Wars," the Iranian Military journal explains how an EMP attack on America's electronic infrastructure, caused by the detonation of a nuclear weapon high above the U.S., would bring the country to its knees.
""Once you confuse the enemy communication network you can also disrupt the work of the enemy command- and decision-making center," the article states. "Even worse today when you disable a country's military high command through disruption of communications, you will, in effect, disrupt all the affairs of that country. If the world's industrial countries fail to devise effective ways to defend themselves against dangerous electronic assaults then they will disintegrate within a few years. American soldiers would not be able to find food to eat nor would they be able to fire a single shot.""
On this one they got it partly right. The civil sector will basically go down. The military sector will be slightly inconvenienced. Iran would probably cease to exist in as little as about 45 minutes.

Is warrantless wiretapping of Mohammedan phones ethical? Here is what the law says:
"The objective of electronic surveillance when used in law enforcement is to gather evidence of a crime or to accumulate intelligence about suspected criminal activity." Common sense also tells us that suspicion of intent to commit a crime is sufficient and adequate reason for detention and rendition.
They go on to cite reason after reason directly from the Qur'an:
"Oh believers, do not treat your fathers and mothers as your friends, if they prefer unbelief to belief, whosoever of you takes them for friends, they are evil-doers. (Repentance: 20)"
"Humiliate the non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and pay tribute. ( Repentance: 29 )"
The reasons go on and on and on. Is it unreasonable to presume that the mosques and the Mohammedans who attend them are a very likely danger to us? Should we do something about it to see that the danger is minimized? I believe we should.

It appears our law enforcement agencies are being coerced into a specific mandated political spin on arrests of Mohammedans. Regardless of the spin note the subtext. Mohammedans are arming, with weapons unheard of on US streets. These are things like rocket launchers, hand grenades, and explosives. The Mohammedans are practicing urban combat. They are getting ready for a war ON OUR STREETS IN OUR CITIES. And, IMAO, we are not doing nearly enough about it.

Bill Warner is the director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam (CSPI). He was interviewed by Front Page Magazine on the fifth. He explains how Mohammedanism is a religion of dualities. The Qur'an is literally riddled with contradictions. The principle of abrogation, itself a concept direct from the Qur'an, declares that the later one abrogates the former. But both aspects of the contradiction are true and you select which one is appropriate by the circumstances. He cites the Qur'an and other sources for his assertions.
This quite neatly explains the preaching in the British Channel 4 documentary, "Dispatches". When the circumstance mimics the early Mecca period behave as Mohammed did in Mecca at that time. When they resemble the circumstances of Medina then the Medina militancy surfaces. So we not only have a spokesman for CSPI stating this principle and its application, but we also have Mohammedan preachers caught in the British documentary saying the same thing.
More and more we see the Mohammedans starting to act as if they feel they have the strength for "Medina" behavior. We must be ready for this, both physically and emotionally. If we aren't we, our freedom, and our society are surely lost.
"All of Western logic is based upon the law of contradiction - if two things contradict, then at least one of them is false. But Islamic logic is dualistic; two things can contradict each other and both are true.
"No dualistic system may be measured by one answer. This is the reason that the arguments about what constitutes the "real" Islam go on and on and are never resolved. A single right answer does not exist.
"Dualistic systems can only be measured by statistics. It is futile to argue one side of the dualism is true. As an analogy, quantum mechanics always gives a statistical answer to all questions."
Yes, the CSPI has attempted to address an analysis of Mohammedanism via statistics. He has some pretty good sense to what he says. The next paragraph to the above contains some important statistics. For practical purposes Jihad is an act of war with very few references to peaceful Jihad.
"For an example of using statistics, look at the question: what is the real jihad, the jihad of inner, spiritual struggle or the jihad of war? Let's turn to Bukhari (the Hadith) for the answer, as he repeatedly speaks of jihad. In Bukhari 97% of the jihad references are about war and 3% are about the inner struggle. So the statistical answer is that jihad is 97% war and 3% inner struggle. Is jihad war? Yes-97%. Is jihad inner struggle? Yes-3%. So if you are writing an article, you can make a case for either. But in truth, almost every argument about Islam can be answered by: all of the above. Both sides of the duality are right."
But which side of the duality are we most likely to encounter? Hands down it is War.
This gem of a paragraph is also embedded in his interview. Upon reading it I ask, "How can a Black person EVER become Mohammedan?"
"Blacks don't want to face the fact that it was a Muslim who rounded up their ancestors in Africa to wholesale to the white slave trader. The Arab is the true master of the African. Blacks can't accept the common bond they share with whites: that both Europeans and Africans were slaves under Islam. Blacks like to imagine Islam is their counterweight to white power, not that Islam has ruled them for 1400 years."
It is quite well documented that it was Arabs who fed the slavers a large proportion of the slaves imported to the United States and other nations where slave holding was practiced.
It is modestly long. It is well worth the read. And do check the sources he cites. The USC-MSA translation of the Qur'an is as close to primary source as you, or even most Arabs, can get to. (Remember, the Qur'an is written in an ancient dialect of Arabic that VERY few Arabs speak today. So THEY need translation, too.)
By the way, how many of you knew enough history to know that the Mohammedan Jihad killed over 80 million Hindus as it swept through India? How about the 60 million Christians? This was back when that was not just as significant number of Hindus or Christians killed. It represented a significant percentage of the entire world's population killed by genocidal maniac Jihadis, whose descendants want nothing more than to repeat the slaughter.
Also note how LITTLE of Mohammedanism is religious and how much is purely politics and war. What would a similar analysis of the Bible show?

Mohammedanism, at least in the hands of extremists, is a culture of death and detachment. Children can pray for their father's death in a suicide mission. Mothers can pray for their son's successful death in a suicide attack. This is the power of the lies taught in Mohammedan schools sponsored by the radicals.
In a way it's astonishing how the Jihadis manage to train out of people some of our most basic instincts and inclinations towards decency. Everything sane humans desire is negated in Mohammedanism. It's sad how these lives are wasted on a thug's theocracy.

The Democratic National Committee had an imam pray at the start of one of their sessions. That imam is, at beat, a rather unsavory character. And right there in front of the Democrats he prayed for their destruction, submission, or perhaps conversion. Robert Spencer has more in this weeks JihadWatch video on HotAir.
"We thank you God, to send us your messages through our Abraham and Moses and Jesus and Mohammed. Through you, God, we unite. So guide us to the right path.
That SOUNDS ecumenical. After all it invokes Abraham, Moses, and Jesus as well as Mohammed. But all four are Mohammedan prophets. The Mohammedans do not recognize any divinity about Jesus, though. And the "right path" in Mohammedan prayers is specifically Mohammedanism.

Yesterday I remarked about fairly significant numbers of Mohammedans converting out of the religion and this courting death. Sedar Dedeoglu, now of Luedenscheid, Germany, claims to be a direct descendent of the "prophet" Mohammed. He has also converted out of Mohammedanism to Christianity. While that report cites France this one indicates there is at least some sort of similar trend in Germany. In my arrogant opinion this is a good idea.

Michael J. Totten has another dispatch from Lebanon. This one is titled "On the Top Floor of Lebanon's Civil Society." In it he talks with Eli Khoury. "Eli is the CEO of the advertising firm Saatchi and Saatchi in the Levant. He worked on Iraq's first post-Saddam get-out-and-vote campaign, then applied his advertising and design skills to Lebanon's movement to oust the Syrian occupation. His work was seen all over the country back then, and it's still all over the country today."
"He also runs a professional political consulting firm called Quantum. I went to see him in his futuristic post-modern office on the top floor of a glass tower in East Beirut. I felt like I had been whooshed into the 23rd century when I walked in there. The lighting, the windows, the walls.the whole place appeared straight out of a science-fiction movie. His employees looked like they had been genetically engineered to human perfection. I should have taken some pictures."
Instead, he started interviewing. And from it emerges a picture of Lebanon that is quite different from other pictures. Among other things he reveals perceptions of life from a Lebanese standpoint that could be studied by Israelis to improve their image in Lebanon. (Unfortunately this might mean eliminating the Syrian regime currently in power which might be filled by something even worse from the Israeli standpoint. But there are other little things they can do, too.)
It certainly appears that Lebanon is the country we should liberate. Even the Sunnis are relatively liberal and secular. Once Hezbollah, aka Iran (via Syria) is removed it'd be a nice place to live again. And it would be a really painful thorn in the side of the Syrians. Maybe once we nominally have Iraq pacified...?

Patrick Poole has an interesting theory that Pope Benedict chose the city of Regensburg for his lecture about Mohammedanism with some serious symbolism in even the choice of that city for it. Regensburg figures very significantly in the wars fought against the barbarous Mohammedans in their quest to overtake Europe, hence the world. It was the high water mark for Suleiman the Butcher's campaign and successive campaigns by others. It was also the birth place of Don Juan of Austria, hero of the Battle of Lepanto in 1572.

Michael Yon's latest Dispatch is up. It is another write-up of life for our military in Iraq. Rather than short "micro-embeds" in which a reporter may plan for 15 days for the project at most they get 5 days with their embed unit. That is not enough time to figure out what is going on, who is important, and what the prospects might be.
Michael Yon spends nearly a year at a time embedded, sleeping with the troops, eating with the troops, on patrol with the troops, all armed with his camera and no other armament.
This time Michael describes a typical night on weapons hunt patrol. The intent was to enter, search, and detain people within a home in Mosul. It got exciting after the initial action. Some insurgents fired mortars towards the nearby US base. Radar got the probable points of impact and origin, POI and POO respectively. It was rather close to this patrol. So they became involved. Michael becomes mystified at some of the command decisions and is enlightened at the end. Sometimes if you play dumb with the insurgents you learn more.
And Michael seems to be one of General Petraeus's greatest fans as you can find out in the recording on the second link.

The intolerance at the King Fahad Academy in the UK is far deeper than just the couple of passages quoted in the original video I pointed towards a few days ago. The school is institutionalizing maintaining Saudi type Mohammedan society rather than melting into one society, hating those who are not Mohammedan, and indeed is priming the children for becoming jihadis. This video does not come out and state the latter point. But what is being taught makes this obvious.

"In a recent column at Townhall.com, Frank Pastore ably recapitulates all of the usual mistaken thinking on Islam:"
Responding to callers to his show Frank Pastore says this about the Mohammedans, "1) There are tens of millions of Muslims and Christians (and Jews) who have lived peaceably alongside one another for centuries, and who still do today in many parts of the world."
I commented:
10s of millions of Mohammedans living peacefully blah blah blah.
Item 1:
Fourteen tens of millions is still only 10% of all Mohammedans. 2 tens of millions is only 1.4%.
Think about what those OTHERS are like.
Item 2:
When outnumbered as in the US (until VERY recently) they operate in the Meccan mode of the Mohammedan duality. In Mecca originally Mohammed was so outnumbered he could not resort to military action. So he lived peacefully with but self-segregated from the others people in Mecca.
10s of millions live under those circumstances.
When not vastly outnumbered Mohammedans are expected to operate in the Medinan mode of the Mohammedan duality, militant jihad and war. We see that happening all over the world today, Somalia, Lebanon, Malaysia, Indonesia, Southern Philippines, Thailand, and so forth. 10s of millions of "polite" Mohammedans still leaves a billion or so impolite Mohammedans.
Think about the numbers. Is it time to do something about it?

In a report from the "We are our own worst enemy" department we have the important note that everybody has already read, I am sure. The Iranians are supplying the Mahdi Army (well, the make polite by saying rogue elements of the Mahdi Army) with Explosively Formed Projectiles. These are killing our troops. And between them, other captured Iranian ordnance, and captured Iranians it is pretty clear that the Iranians are engaging us in Iraq, directly and through their Mahdi Army proxies.
The Democrats, of course, are declaring that the evidence is not meaningful, it is doubtful, and above all don't engage Iran.
Wait-a-minute-thar-podnah! What is this bit about it's OK for Iran to attack our forces; but, not OK for us to respond? Oh, I see. Trent Lott, the Democratic whiz-not-a-kid (senile old buzzard) from Mississippi has declared you stop the arms flow by interdiction not invasion. And how does he propose to stop drug incursions into the US through our border with Mexico if it's that easy?
Of course, they are making a mountain out of a pot hole on this issue. Consider for a few moments that invasion of Iran is not nearly as simple a process as we made the invasion of Iraq appear. (For one they are Persians in Iran, not Arabs. In the past this has made a sincere difference.) OK, that's enough consideration time. Now consider what we could do with some serious sanctions on Iran, the kind that Putin and China don't want us to impose. Maybe we should quietly let China know that if Iran nukes ANYBODY in the world both Moscow and Beijing will disappear within an hour - along with Tehran.

Back in the diatribe for 2000205 I mentioned an article by Adrian Morgan titled "How The UK Threatens US Security". In three parts it showed how Britain is nurturing, indoctrinating, and supporting violent jihadis. Now they are exporting terrorists - to Somalia.
In a Times of London report we see that four Britains were nabbed along with 11 other terrorists from Somalia. The British SAS had the good sense to send them back to Somalia to stand trial. So of course, lawyers in Britain are foaming at the mouth. And the mothers are proclaiming how wonderful their little boys were.
"Ezzouek's (one of the captured terrorists) mother Malika, who has five children, claimed last week that she had no idea he was in Somalia. She said she had paid his airline ticket to Egypt, where he flew five months ago to study in a Koranic school."
"I am very worried about him because I know he has done nothing wrong," she said. "My son is innocent. He is not an extremist.""
Of course, she does not see that her son has done anything wrong or is an extremist. What he did is entirely according to the Qur'an and to mainstream (read Saudi or Iranian) Mohammedanism. Think about what that means.
As a second item note that Malika has five children. Compare that with the more common native British family of one or two children and very seldom any more. The decent folks are being out bred. Think about what that means.
ToL: Somali Britons caught by SAS face execution
###
And Adrian Morgan also introduces us to Britain's most vocal radical Mohammedan, Abu Izzadeen aka Omar Brooks aka Trevor Brooks.
"Abu Izzadeen's Arabic name means "Might of the Faith". He was born on April 18, 1976, in the Mother's Hospital in Lower Clapton Road in Hackney, east London. He was brought up in a Christian family of Jamaican origins, where he had the name Trevor Brooks. In 1994, the day before his 18th birthday, he became a convert to Islam. He changed his first name to "Omar". A trained electrician, he became a radical Muslim after he met Omar Bakri Mohammed at the notorious Finsbury Park Mosque, and joined Bakri's Islamist group Al-Muhajiroun."
And from there his life spiraled into a cesspit of Mohammedanism's worst attributes. And it took the British an incredible amount of time to figure out he was dangerous, was indoctrinating terrorists, and was aiding terrorists within Britain. At least they finally have him put away in prison. (And knowing British prison terms he'll probably be back out in pretty short order.)

"A French intelligence report says that France is being targeted by
al-Qaeda, the London-based Arabic-language newspaper al-Hayat reported
Friday." So why is this only reported on YNet News rather than all the
MSM? Maybe they WANT to see some extraordinary new bloodshed in France
because it sells newspapers and gives the talking heads something big
to report about to gain viewers? Either way it appears there is a bin
Laden signed letter ordering the Algerian wing of al Qaeda to attack in
France prior to their coming elections.
"The writers of report fear a terror attack similar to the one which took place in Madrid in March 2004. In order to illustrate the concrete threat, the newspaper published for the first time a letter handwritten and signed by Osama bin Laden, which instructed a radical Islamic organization in Algeria to "attack in eastern and southern France.""

Robert Spencer discusses Michael Chertoff and his politically correct fog about how good Mohammedans are and it's only a few radicals we have to watch out for.
WorldnetDailyNews.com reports, "Citing recent internal memos, Department of Homeland Security employees complain their boss Michael Chertoff is hamstringing counter-terror operations with pro-Islamic political correctness." (As usual, we are our own worst enemy, sigh.)
"DHS Secretary Chertoff set the tone in a staffwide memo last year, when he described as "extremists" the two dozen Muslim terrorists who plotted to blow up 10 airliners over the Atlantic. Unlike British authorities, Chertoff did not mention the religious motivation of the terrorists. Nowhere in the one-page memo were the terms "Muslim" or "Islamic" used."
And of course, Chertoff invokes the image of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols to counter the millions of Mohammedan jihadis out there making the world more miserable for everybody every day.
Hey, President Bush, yeah, you - Shrub - 43, "Are you sure Chertoff is on OUR side?"

OK, this is a "spoiler"; but, it should indicate the whole article is worth reading. The speaker is Walid Jumblat, the leader of the Lebanese Druze. Michael Totten interviewed him and posted this on the 13th (in his current time zone.)
"It would be bad for Lebanon and for the Middle East if the US withdraws from the Middle East. Because we will face a different Arab and Muslim world. It is very strange and ironic that even the pro-Iranians in Iraq are asking the Americans to stay. You could write a theater about it. Making the Americans totally withdraw from the Arab world would be a mistake, would be a disaster for the moderates in the Arab world. The radicals and the Iranians would win."

Apparently Syrian and Iranian goals are starting to diverge. This could lead to a split. Or so thinks a Jordanian columnist. One of the conditions the Syrians are adamant about is the international tribunal for the Al-Hariri assassination. They want to pack it at the very least. The Iranians have other goals. BUT, Syria is not likely to get their way with the US in the picture. So I suspect Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad will perforce have to stick with Iran and grit his teeth unless he can find a way to go it alone.

So now the Taliban in Afghanistan is using children, local Afghani children, as human shields. Methinks it is time to drop some very heavy ordinance on their home bases - in Pakistan. If their women and children are there with them, well, THEY obviously don't care about women and children so why should we worry about theirs? We, of course, should make any such attacks when we know the Taliban thugs are at home. And we should make reasonable effort to get the thugs without getting the women and children. But let's not be fanatical about not getting ANY women or children. That's about all that will stop these despicable creatures.

"Top House Democrats, working in concert with anti-war groups, have decided against using congressional power to force a quick end to U.S. involvement in Iraq, and instead will pursue a slow-bleed strategy designed to gradually limit the administration's options."

Bryan Preston has his words about this report. And he's not harsh enough.
Slow bleed, eh? It's our soldiers who will bleed. It's our Democrats who are talking about making the soldiers vulnerable. They are going to force a defeat in Iraq at ANY cost. They are despicable.
Something to note. When this sort of thing has happened in the past the soldiers have been unamused and have instituted regime changes - at home. Something else to note, most of the Democrats are anti-gun and are disarmed. We may find out if an elected government can so mistreat the military that the military mutinies and takes over.

Once you get past the banner and boilerplate you'll find the title below.

This is as good a description of the scenarios I dear will happen, which is why I urge rather strong action today to avoid what we will have to do later. (Folding and embracing Mohammedanism just is not in the cards.) Hint, the scenario sees WW-III as being nuclear starting with a huge terror attack in Israel with nuclear weapons.
I think the scenario posted is too pat. There are too many rather nasty wild cards that a nuclear Iran could play without going to nuclear bombs. Mass poisonings come to mind. (Iran DOES have a huge and effective chemical warfare capability.)

It appears that al Masri may be using the Saddam trick of having body doubles that can be sacrificed. Note that this latest report is based on DNA evidence, supposedly. Now, if this happened within the last 24 hours there has not been enough time for DNA testing.

Among others Robert replies and slipped. He made one criticism that was off the mark. So I posted a comment...
"Um, relax, Robert. I think you overreacted this time to one aspect of the article you quoted. (Hey, that's MY job, didn't you know?)
"The (sic)'s that were quoted went with spelling errors "dont" rather than "don't" and "shotting" rather than "shooting". This is normal practice and usage.
"Aside from that - he is apparently Mohammedan. That suggests his going into an apparent jihadi mode is suspect. But it is ONLY suspect. The Deseret Morning News is derelict in its duties to inform the public because it failed to discuss this issue presenting what scanty information is known.
"Finally, from an FBI standpoint it MAY be effective to deny a jihad related operation here simply to leave any possible connection lulled into complacency while it is being hunted down. It also does serve to keep the public from overreacting. After all, the overreactions do fuel the Hooper-mania, doesn't it?"

Barney Zwartz issues a warning to Australia based on historical evidence and trends with regards to Mohammedan immigrants. Historically when Mohammedans amount to 10% of the population they start their violent jihad activities and turn the nations into places in which the original inhabitants feel like strangers. France is there now and is lost. The French people will lose control and face the 9.29 options: convert, submit and pay jizyah, or die. The time for Australia to act to prevent this is now. For that matter, Buffy, the time for the US to act to prevent this is also now. The danger is not the Mohammedans themselves, it is their freaked out Satanistic so called religion that provokes and requires the jihadi violence.
"French people say they are strangers in their own country. This is a point of no return." Do we want to see this happen here? Do the Aussies want to see this happen there? I think the answer to both question is closer to "expletive no" than a mere "no".

My first question, "Is it genocide to wipe out those who wish to exterminate you?" My next question, "Can we do this if it is needed without becoming as bad as those we are wiping out?" Islam Watch may have a pertinent article in their "History of Jihad" series. This one recounts the Mongol hordes who flooded out of Asia and wiped out most of the Mohammedans who'd been tormenting them for close to 600 years. (Had Genghis Khan been looking for loot and wealth China and Japan were much closer at hand.)
The Mongols out nastied and out brutalized the Mohammedans. They wiped out the Assassin's sect and its records. They won most of the Mohammedan world in warfare. The Christians were too stupid to ally with the Mongols and utterly wipe out Mohammedanism, which had also been persecuting the Christians in Europe for most of the same 600 years. (The Christians demanded the Mongols convert to Christianity before any alliance was possible.)
It all ended with, literally, the Mongols becoming their enemy. Creeping conversion to Mohammedanism eventually turned the Mongol empire into its worst enemy. This is one of the reasons I am so adamant that something be done NOW rather than later to contain and ideally wipe out this hideous religion.

The very concept of limits on their behavior other than what is in the Qur'an is repugnant and anathema to Mohammedan males. Thus they are never taught to control their sex drive so they don't rape women out on the street. Actually, the Qur'an teaches that uncovered women are sexual meat on their tables to be done with as they wish. So how does Malaysia handle such a situation when there has been a rash of bizarre sex crimes? A leading Mohammedan cleric has suggested chastity belts. Self control is just not in the cards.

Well, Sudden Jihad Syndrome has not been ruled out by the FBI in the Sulejman Talovic mall shooting case. They have no immediate indication it was related to his being a Mohammedan. It obviously has no immediate indication it was NOT related to his being a Mohammedan. They are still investigating.
An interesting detail is that he often attended Friday prayers at the Al-Noor mosque but had stopped coming in December. By coincidence another problem child from the Al-Noor mosque was Wassef Ali Hassoun, the Marine deserter who claimed he'd been kidnapped, then fled to Lebanon.

WND has some additional information and a nice write-up by Art Moore. There are some puzzling aspects to the story. And there may be a semantic issue tied up in the whole picture.
The main puzzling aspect is that Talovic's home was searched but no computers were taken. Why? (As an aside, it's rather amazing that it has become just as impossible to imagine a home without a computer today as it was to imagine a home with a computer in 1960. But that is a possible reason.)
The semantic issue involves the definition of terrorism. I suspect the FBI and others see it as organized and coordinated terror operations. Thus a recent convert to Mohammedan jihadi ideals is simply a loose cannon on deck rather than a member of a terrorism cell. Jihad does not need to be coordinated. Beltway sniper John Allen Muhammad was as much a jihadi as was the shoe bomber or the 19 9/11 terrorists. We can't let semantics and razor sharp definitions blind us to the obvious. Believers in jihadi Mohammedanism are by definition terrorists or terrorist supporters even if they never go to Pakistan and never coordinate their activities with any central authority.

KSL in Salt Lake City has brief bits from a telephone interview with Talovic's father. "Somebody got (the guns).and maybe (they were) training him and tell(ing) him (to), 'go shoot somebody.'"
Even his father is suspicious that something radicalized his son and lead to his violent activity. I wonder if we will ever learn the identity of the person who actually purchased the shotgun.

If it is corrupt or despicable the Democrats don't seem to mind as long as it also makes Bush look bad. They have NO scruples and are going to place our service men in increased danger with their new policies to cripple our military. Congresscritter Murtha is at the root of this one.
"It's being called the "slow bleed" strategy, and that's what it is: an ugly, cowardly effort to defund the war in Iraq without having to suffer political consequences. Murtha and Pelosi are trying to drive the country into a hard left turn on a very dangerous road: Congressman Murtha Crafts Bill to Prevent Iraq Troop Deployments."

Something to think about is the detail that Mohammedanism is not just a political ideology wrapped in a religious skin. It is also a detailed description of all the science and medicine you should ever need to know because it all flows directly from Allah.
As an example of this Mohammedans Northern Pakistan have circulated a rumor that polio vaccine was an American plot to sterilize innocent Muslim children.
"The disinformation - spread by extremist clerics using mosque loudspeakers and illegal radio stations, and by word of mouth - has caused a sharp jump in polio cases in Pakistan and hit global efforts to eradicate the debilitating disease."
I rather suspect the reason a young firebrand cleric in Swat, Maulana Fazlullah, denounced the polio campaign through a local FM radio station lies in its not being medicine from the Qur'an. Therefore it is suspect.

Many times I have bemoaned the fact that real moderate Mohammedans are not speaking out on a regular basis against the atrocities committed by other Mohammedans. Jamal Mitfah had the courage to do so. He was banned from his Tulsa Oklahoma mosque until he apologizes for the op-ed he wrote condemning Osama bin Laden. Leaders at the mosque have not been calling for his death. But they have been noting that killing him is a way to go to heaven.

So a Christian country, Serbia, is being changed into a Mohammedan nation. The process is taking place through terror, violence, and treachery. It's Saudi Arabian Wahabbi Mohammedanism doing it. James Jatras, one of the Jihad Watch board members, is interviewed about this on CBN News. Kosovo is becoming a center of opium smuggling, slave trade, and exporting Mohammedan violence.
Saudi Arabia needs to be eliminated.

(Rhetorical request) Please, someone, explain to me how you can have effective rule of law when a person can select which of two conflicting sets of laws he accepts?
Canada seems to think this is possible. Ontario Canada has not completely shut out the possibility for Sharia law in Ontario. One of the most important places Sharia law differs from Western legal tradition is in family law. Under Sharia law the rights of women and children are very sharply curtailed. (And before somebody comments, "Gee, that sounds like what happens to men and their children in the US," note that what happens under Sharia is MUCH worse.)

David Thompson has a wonderful piece on moral relativism that equates Mohammedan extremism and Christian fundamentalism, which is amounts to equating tens of thousands of suicide bombers and dozens of Sunday sermons. It amounts to comparing and equating 600 million Mohammedans who OPENLY approve of violent jihad with scant dozens of Christian extremists who actually take up arms and commit violence. Moral relativism has no sense of scale, it seems.
Thompson highlights some of the more atrocious examples of the results of this moral relativism. He also had more to say a couple days ago about moral tourism.
Someday the supposed thinkers on the far left need to regain a sense of scale rather than attempting to judge everything, particularly Western culture, as bad and therefore all equal to each other regardless of their degree of badness. Self loathing is just plain stupid. Yet they call themselves "intellectuals." Ayup, and their excrement doesn't stink.

California may have unwittingly (via political correctness) financed some Mohammedan terrorism abroad and trained some terrorists here in the US "Sister Khadijah" founded several rural charter schools in California and received state tax money subsidies. Among the things the school taught was several forms of combat, including live fire practice with what sounded like full automatic weapons.
At least the investigation and eventual sentencing of "Sister Kadijah" resulted in a general cleanup of the California charter school oversight.

Part III of chapter 10 of Abdul Kasem's "Bismi Allah" book is online now. This is the third part of the "Muhammad is Allah" chapter. He makes the case that there is an identity between Muhammad and Allah. He starts with a mini-refresher of Qur'an and ahadith quotes:
This should not surprise anyone. We will review the following provisions in the Qur'an and ahadith.
Provisions set by Allah and Muhammad are binding to all Muslims: there are no alternatives...33:36Here are a few important excerpts:
Allegiance to Muhammad is allegiance to Allah (8:17) (Ash Shifa, Tr. Aisha Abdurrahman Bewley, p 27).Let us read verse 8:17
8:17. You killed them not, but Allâh killed them. And you (Muhammad) threw not when you did throw but Allâh threw, that He might test the believers by a fair trial from Him. Verily, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.Allah made obeying Muhammad tantamount to obeying Himself (ibid, p 215).
Ash Shifa writes:
He made obeying His Messenger tantamount to obeying Himself, and he placed obedience to Himself alongside obedience to His Messenger. Allah promises that doing this will result in an abundant reward and threatens a severe punishment for opposing it. He made it obligatory to obey the things that the Prophet commanded and to avoid those he prohibited.
Oppose sunna, become an unbeliever (Ash Shifa, p 220)
Ibn 'Umar said, "The travelling prayer is two ra'kats. Whoever opposes Sunna is an unbeliever."The above stipulation means disobeying Muhammad's rulings (Sunna) is disobeying Allah's rulings. Previously (see part 8) we noted that Sunna is from Allah.
Kasem goes on to make the case for this identity. The subtext is fairly obvious. Mohammedanism is a self-serving product of Mohammed's mind and not anything like a real religion. (Although there is a remarkable resemblance to Scientology here. And it is called a religion....)

On a slightly different issue that is dangerous to us note this report from Britain. Essentially it reads, "Ban guns, double crime." And with the increase in Mohammedan terrorism in the US as well as elsewhere in the world, do we REALLY want to be disarmed? It was the presence of a gun in a Salt Lake City mall that saved an unknown number of lives when Talovic started shooting. An off duty cop from Ogden Utah was armed. He identified what was going on, saw dead bleeding bodies, saw Talovic with a shotgun, and pulled his own service revolver and opened fire severely distracting Talovic. If more of the good people in the mall had been armed would he have gotten even a second shot let alone enough to leave a trail of dead bodies as he did?

AEI: Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
### One of the items Ayaan touches on in presentation above is the way Mohammedans stifle and refuse to allow any discussion of imperfections in the ideology. Serge Trifkovic also discusses this on Front Page Magazine's site. (Of course, he uses the current favorite pseudo-con whipping boy for a foil.)Furthermore, D'Souza uses "Islamophobia" with the implicit assumption that the term's meaning is well familiar to his readers. For the uninitiated it is nevertheless necessary to spell out its formal, legally tested definition, however. It is provided by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC), a lavishly-funded organ of the European Union. Based in Vienna, this body diligently tracks the instances of "Islamophobia" all over the Old Continent and summarizes them in its reports. The Monitoring Center's definition of Islamophobia includes eight salient features: 1. Islam is seen as a monolithic bloc, static and unresponsive to change. 2. Islam is seen as separate and "other." 3. Islam is seen as inferior to the West, barbaric, irrational, primitive and sexist. 4. Islam is seen as violent, aggressive, supportive of terrorism and engaged in a clash of civilizations. 5. Islam is seen as a political ideology. 6. Criticisms made of the West by Islam are rejected out of hand. 7. Hostility towards Islam is used to justify discriminatory practices towards Muslims and exclusion of Muslims from mainstream society. 8. Anti-Muslim hostility is seen as natural or normal. This definition is obviously intended to preclude any possibility of meaningful discussion of Islam. The implication that Islamophobia thus defined demands legal sanction is a regular feature of the Race Relations Industry output. It also routinely refers to "institutional Islamophobia" as an inherent social and cultural sickness of most Western societies that needs to be rooted out by education, re-education, and legislation. In reality, of course, all eight proscribed statements are to some extent true. As I have argued in these pages and elsewhere,FPM: Dinesh the Dhimmi ### Sulejman Talovic, the Trolly Square shooter, left almost nothing behind him to indicate why he went on his rampage. He left no notes and didn't have a computer. A TV station has interviewed his father, who has relatively poor English making him hard to understand. The father believes somebody had influenced his son. He describes a personality change that is not inconsistent with changes seen in other converts to jihadi views. And the mosque at which he attended prayers has produced at least one other radical in the past. LGF: Video: SLC Killer's Father Believes Son Was Trained
LGF: Salt Lake City Killer's Father Believes His Son Was Trained ### Hugh Fitzgerald touches on the lackluster, nay downright disgraceful, record of Mohammedans in science and medicine. He asserts the reason for this is the basic Mohammedan education that teaches students how to not think. So with their critical faculties turned off the Mohammedans are hopeless when it comes to advancing science.
The assorted crazinesses and conspiracy theories (I like best that well-known one about Neil Armstrong hearing the azan on the moon -- one giant step for Homo Islamicus, apparently) that are widely believed in the Islamic world provide yet another example of the susceptibility to lunatic ideas and the most absurd rumors among populations of people who have been brought up in societies where they are deliberately taught not to think. For Islam teaches that Allah must never be questioned. The products of his will or whim are simply there. Ours not to reason why, for Allah Knows Best. And that is how the ask-mr-fatwas sites, in giving their opinions which have the effect of unappealable rulings to the inquiring ("Can I wear a bouffant hairdo?" "Can I defecate in a toilet if the water in the bowl is still?" "Can I inherit property from the parents of my 'reverted' spouse?") always conclude: Allah Knows Best."The habit of mental submission leads not only to susceptibility to every kind of crank belief, or even to the entertaining of two separate and contradictory beliefs." Once he demonstrates the "can't think critically" thesis he moves on to the Mohammedan arrogance. "Muslims are inculcated with and exhibit a sense of superiority: we are Muslims, we are the Best People (cf. Qur'an 3:110), "Islam must dominate and is not to be dominated," Allah will prevail and Muslims have a right to, and will, rule everywhere." He proposes using the disaffection and sense of conflict between the lack of ability to match the West in achievement with the concept that Mohammedans are superior critters as leverage for at least grabbing the attention of those few intelligent Mohammedans who can still think. JW: Fitzgerald: Crazinesses and conspiracy theories ### Qur'an 3.110 ### The headline indicates the planned super-mosque right outside the London Olympics venue is going to be turned down by the planning commission.

I was thinking of entertaining reading about Mohammed's sex life. 11 wives at one time, marrying 9 year old girl, and even marrying your adopted son's wife sounds like some level of sexual indulgence well beyond the norms of society today. But that is not all. He also had slaves. And forcing sex on slaves was kinda neat, too, eh? Read about it. RoP: The Sex Life of the Prophet ### {^_^}
In February 1997, Palestinian English teacher Ali Abu Kamal went to the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State Building, pulled out a gun, and opened fire, killing one person and wounding six others before killing himself.

Today the killer's daughter-who works for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian "refugees" (UNRWA)-admitted that this story was a complete fraud.

It seems the "Truther" movement is a little too raw for BBC, a little too easy to see through.

They insist that the Pentagon plane was something much smaller than the aircraft that was supposed to have hit it. They also claim that flight 83 was empty when it went down. (That one REALLY puzzles me. Why empty it when the other three planes still had passengers aboard, people, real people, dead and in most cases literally vaporized in the crash and its aftermath.

The article itself is same old same old sort of trash talking about any people who speak ill in any manner against Mohammedanism, even those who condemn merely the "radical" terrorist strains of Mohammedanism. In this case a suggestion that the Mohammedans melt into American culture rather than remain aloof to it while living here and working to destroy our culture was not well received. IMAO they SHOULD melt in rather than become the scum that fails to melt and raises to the top. When they do form a separate scum that fails to melt they should be scrapped off and tossed aside.

Google cached item for above. ### The majority, 80%, of Canadian Mohammedans are happy to be Canadians. "Apparently "more than 80% of Canada's roughly 700,000 Muslims are broadly satisfied with their lives here."" The news business calls this burying the lead. The really important item in the report is in the 20% who are not so happy. More like it's in the "Fully 12% of Muslim Canadians polled by Environics said the alleged terrorist plot -- that included kidnapping and beheading the prime minister and blowing up Parliament and the CBC -- was justified." The CBC called this 12% a negligible amount. But given Canada's 700,000 Mohammedans just how negligible are 84,000 extremists who are quite happy with the idea of beheading the Canadian Prime Minister. Now, I know he is not wildly popular. But beheading is a little on the extreme side, methinks. But, I must note that it IS traditionally Mohammedan. And Robert wryly notes at the bottom that it is not just Canadian Mohammedans who think this way. We have too many radicals in our country, too. JW: "84,000 Canadian Muslims think it's justifiable

The Bush way is to have a united Iraq, not even partitioned as a federation of states. (How little Bush remembers the way the United States started. sigh.) So while Bush pushes for no partition at all the liberals are pushing to partition Iraq with the Kurds getting Kurdistan (and Turkey getting indigestion), the Sunnis getting Central Iraq, and the Shi'ites getting the South as three distinct nations.

They surely seem to be genuinely nice people. (And burqas are conspicuously absent from the CBS video. So this might be correct.

More specifically we've been involved with them since we came into existence. Before that the people who would later on become the people of this nation were involved with jihad and jihadis through our British connection. This involved the payments to the Barbary leaders to stop them from capturing our ships and enslaving our seamen. President Adams paid fully 20% of the national budget to these Mohammedan jihadis once we were no longer under the British protection. Thomas Jefferson was sent to talk with them about peace. "The Adams Administration in 1790s was paying about 20 percent of its federal revenues in bribery to the Middle Eastern pirates. Thomas Jefferson was from the opposing school. He said that the more you paid off the pirates the more bribery they would demand. Jefferson said that any treaty signed with any individual pirate ruler - whether they be from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, or Libya - that treaty would only be good as long as the ruler's life." That quote was from Michael J. Totten's interview with Michael Oren about Oren's new book, "Power, Faith, and Fantasy". Oren characterizes the book as "not a (just) military history, it's also a diplomatic, cultural, artistic, and economic history - I wanted to show Americans today that our experience in the Middle East has very deep roots."

JW: Muslims in Germany becoming "more religious,"
Islamic associations are "fostering the trend" ### Sher Khan examines Mohammed's profession. "Thug" is the word that comes to mind along with maniac, cruel, and warlord.
Most Muslims claim and believe a myth - 'Mohammed only fought defensive wars; he never harmed anyone unless he was attacked.' Surprisingly, the Ahadith, Quran and Sirat Rasul Allah repeatedly prove otherwise. Here are a few examples from Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasullah, out of many incidents. "THE RAID ON WADDAN WHICH WAS HIS FIRST RAID: ..until he reached Waddan, which is the raid of al-Abwa." (p 281). "THE RAID ON BUWAT: .Then the apostle went raiding in the month of Rabiul-Awwal making for Quraish." (285). "THE RAID ON SAFAWAN, WHICH IS THE FIRST RAID OF BADR: The apostle stayed only a few nights, less than ten, in Medina when he came back from raiding Al-'Ushayra..(286) "THE RAID ON B.SULAYMAN IN AL-KUDR: The apostle stayed only seven nights in Medina before he himself made a raid against B.Sulayman." (360). "THE RAID OF DHU AMARR: When the apostle returned from the raid of al-Sawiq he stayed in Medina for the rest of Dhu'l-Hijja, or nearly all of it. The he raided Najd..." (362). .... Anyway, let's continue with Mohammed's business deals. At the end of Mohammed's life, he invaded Khyber where the Jewish tribe B. al-Nadr lived, and Kinana b. al-Rabi was the custodian of all the treasures that the tribe had. When inquired by the prophet of Islam, being a responsible person, he refused to disclose the whereabouts of the treasure. Ibn Ishaq reports in Sirat Rasul Allah, "When he asked him about the rest he refused to produce it, so the apostle gave orders to al-Zubayr b. al-Awwam, 'Torture him until you extract what he has,' so he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead." (515) . Tabari, another famous historian, describes the same event with more details: "...the Messenger of God gave orders concerning him to al-Zubayr b. al-Awwam, saying, 'Torture him until you root out what he has.' Al-Zubayr kept twirling his fire stick in his breast until Kinanah almost expired..." (123). Oddly, the prophet of Islam knew when the world would fall apart, and he had the ability to split the moon, yet he did not know where the treasure was hidden. Besides his inability, he did not hesitate to order torturing an innocent person. So much for defensive war!In other words, a rather nasty minded charismatic thug.
