Offended Muslim Syndrome & Self-Help Support Groups

This should be required reading among counterterror leaders and politicians who must work with Muslims.

Groupthink :: View topic - Offended Muslim Syndrome & Self-Help Support Groups: "Following the misery inflicted on Islam by a toy bear that ended up with calls for the execution of an English woman, more Muslims are stepping forward with stories of long-suppressed emotional trauma imposed on them by so-called reality. This has led to the creation of support groups and social networks that help followers of the Prophet Mohammed cope with the agony of learning about life outside of their immediate environment, offering assistance with technical resources, practical guidance, and strategies for early intervention and punishment of those who offend Islam."

“Everybody was targeted, but the Americans took precedence.”

Family Security Matters: "MEMRI transcribes an interview with a person claiming to be a former leader of al Qaeda in Iraq. Several things are striking. One is the rather striking disregard for human life, and the assumption in the discussion that one human being (if of the proper Muslim stripe) can and should kill everyone else. There is no wavering on this, as seen in the response about whom the Islamists are targeting:

“Everybody was targeted, but the Americans took precedence.”

Interviewer: “Who is ‘everybody’?”

Jawhar: “Whoever fights against ‘there is no god but Allah.’ Is there anyone who defends the Americans any better than them? The infidels are one and the same. An infidel is an infidel – whether he is a Palestinian, a Jew, or an Argentinean. The infidels are one and the same, while an American Muslim is a Muslim. So what’s the problem? What, an Iraqi who is an apostate and who helps the Americans should be treated like a VIP? He is worse than the Americans.”

It is also interesting to note the claim not to hold Iraqis for ransom, which would be against Islamic law. Unfortunately, that means they are usually killed."

Achalpur Riots

Why do Muslims around the world feel the need to kill? Why do Media around the world fear to tell the truth? What is it about Islam?

Achalpur Riots: "Achalpur Riots: Kashmir in Maharashtra
Photo Evidence of Truth

On 23 October 2007, at Achalpur in Amaravati district (Maharashtra), fanatic Muslims pelted stones from a mosque at the immersion procession of Sree Durga Devi all of a sudden. It is noteworthy that Riot started by Muslims was pre-planned. The pseudo-secular media has ignored this carnage of Hindus by just mentioning the word 'Riots'. Still our secular Government has just declared small financial aid. No serious legal action has been taken. The horrified Hindus have yet not dared to return to their homes & are staying in camps. Hence, we want to bring the real truth of Achalpur to you, the common man because if you ignore it now, tomorrow these Jihadis will be at your doorstep."

Homeland Insecurity: Terrorist Fundraising in the Heartland

How do things like this happen? You would think that the State Department was working for the terrorists instead of for America! Can we arrest the people who issued this visa as traitors?

Pajamas Media: Homeland Insecurity: Terrorist Fundraising in the Heartland: "Nearly 15 years after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and 6 years after 9/11, the federal agencies responsible for our domestic security against terrorism appear to be entirely unaware, unequipped and unconcerned about the continued operations of Islamic terrorists inside the US.

Exhibit A in support of this thesis is the recent fundraising visit to the US by major Somali terrorist leader Zakaria Mahmoud Haji-Abdi. Abdi is deputy chairman of the Eritrean-based Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (ARS). The ARS is organizationally integrated with the al-Qaeda-backed Islamic Courts Union (ICU), which is waging the deadly terrorist insurgency in Somalia against the UN and US recognized Transnational Federal Government (TFG). The insurgency is responsible for the violence that has caused the deaths of nearly 6,000 Somalis this year in Mogadishu alone and forced at least another half million refugees to flee from there.

Abdi was the keynote speaker at a fundraising event and conference hosted by the United Somali Diaspora and held at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Minneapolis on November 24. An article published the following day by SomaliTalk (in Somali) features numerous pictures of the event, documenting Abdi’s attendance. (Minneapolis is home to the largest Somali population in the country.) A follow-up conference was held th"

'France worried by Iran-Israel tension'

Glad to see a European who understands the way international relations really works outside of martinis and cocktails.

'France worried by Iran-Israel tension' | Jerusalem Post: "French President Nicolas Sarkozy said in an interview published Wednesday that there is a danger of war erupting over Iran's nuclear program if 'the Israelis consider their security is truly threatened.' [French President Nicolas...] French President Nicolas Sarkozy flanked by French Justice Minister Rachida [file]. Photo: AP [file] In the interview with Le Nouvel Observateur magazine, Sarkozy said France was more worried about tensions between Iran and Israel than between Iran and the United States. 'I have never been for war,' Sarkozy was quoted as saying. 'The problem for us is not so much the risk that the Americans could launch a military intervention, but that the Israelis consider their security is truly threatened."

British PM plays up Afghan gain to divert attention from debacle in S. Iraq

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile Reports: British PM plays up Afghan gain to divert attention from debacle in S. Iraq: "After four days of heavy fighting, Afghan National army and international forces covered by US and British marines entered the outskirts of the strategic town of Musa Qala in northern Helmand, south of Kabul, Monday, Dec. 10. This was the moment that British premier Gordon Brown decided to head for Helmand and Kabul from southern Iraq, after his announcement there that “The war in Iraq is over.” He said that all British troops will be home by the spring of 2008, and the UK will hand Basra province over to Iraqi control in the next two weeks, leaving the last 2,500 British troops in place...
In southern Iraq, 1,430 miles West of Helmand Province, the British army’s situation is less happy.

US strategists and officers remark that Brown's announcement of a drawdown of British forces - because, he said, the Iraq war is over - was a backhanded admission that they had been defeated in their effort to secure southern Iraq against Shiite militias."

Baby tax needed to save planet, claims expert | NEWS.com.au

Here is a real nut! This sounds like a good way to punish the poor and downtrodden of the world. If this happens, not that I think it will, then only the rich and elites will have babies. Will this guy sterilize himself and his kids to pave the way and give us a good example to follow?

Baby tax needed to save planet, claims expert | NEWS.com.au: "A WEST Australian medical expert wants families to pay a $5000-plus 'baby levy' at birth and an annual carbon tax of up to $800 a child. Writing in today's Medical Journal of Australia, Associate Professor Barry Walters said every couple with more than two children should be taxed to pay for enough trees to offset the carbon emissions generated over each child's lifetime. Professor Walters, clinical associate professor of obstetric medicine at the University of Western Australia and the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth, called for condoms and 'greenhouse-friendly' services such as sterilisation procedures to earn carbon credits."

Harvard Libs Fault Iran NIE

HA! The Left and Right intellectuals both agree that this NIE was bull. So, why do the Far Left and Media still quote it as gospel? Are they that desperate to find something that President Bush lied about? If so, they really need to get a life! Well, they do anyway, but this helps prove it.

Harvard Libs Fault Iran NIE - Say Anything: "When intelligent people on both the Left and the Right can agree that something doesn’t make much sense, its probably time for a serious second look. Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law professor, constitutional scholar, and a liberal’s liberal, doesn’t think much of the latest NIE on Iran. And that’s putting it mildly. Dershowitz writes:
The recent national intelligence estimate that concluded that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 is just about the stupidest intelligence assessment I have ever read. It falls hook, line and sinker for a transparent bait and switch tactic employed not only by Iran, but by several other nuclear powers in the past. The tactic is obvious and well-known to all intelligence officials with an IQ above room temperature. It goes like this:"

Iraqis begin to emerge from the dark

I am glad that the Iraqi people can now enjoy an almost normal life. Those fanatics are dying away, literally. It is time for healing to begin.

Iraq was a festering sore, the US put on a bandage that was not applied properly and the infection got worse. Now the wound is healing. The Surge of 'antibiotics' stabilized the situation so that the sore is healing properly. There are still some of the virus floating around, but if the bandage and the medicine continue to work, then the virus should not be able to rebound and damage the healing body of Iraq. If the medicine is stopped too soon then the virus might be able to kill this weak young country.

Democrats, the Party of the People, want this young country to die. Republicans, the Party of the Republic, want Iraq to flourish and provide a stable base for the other Middle Eastern countries. Moderates want the world to be safe and at quiet - not that it ever has been, but we can all dream.

Iraqis begin to emerge from the dark - Telegraph: "Three years after kidnappings, a car bomb and threats from religious extremists brought the curtain down, the theatre's players have at last deemed it safe to tread its dusty boards once again. Their play, which tells the story of those dreadful times, is just one of many signs that life in Baghdad may be finally returning to normal. 'For years we lived in danger, because the religious extremists disapproved of people dancing and performing on stage,' said the theatre's dance instructor Hannah Abdullah, 38, as she put a mixed troupe through their paces in the darkened auditorium. 'Three of our dancers were kidnapped for that reason, and we could only perform outside of the country. But now things are better. The play tells about all the car bombings and killings, and how the mothers of the dead wept many tears. But it finishes with the sun appearing and everybody forgetting about the civil war.'"

‘Lyrical Terrorist’ Spared Prison

This 'lady' is sick. And the people who claim that this is only because she is a Muslim are sick, too.

Britain: ‘Lyrical Terrorist’ Spared Prison - New York Times: "Samina Malik, a 23-year-old Heathrow airport worker who last month became the first Muslim woman to be convicted of a terrorism offense in Britain, was given a suspended nine-month prison sentence and 100 hours of community service. Ms. Malik, who called herself the “lyrical terrorist” in online forums because she thought it was “cool” and posted poems with titles like “How to Behead,” was convicted in the same London court of possessing records likely to be useful in terrorism, mostly jihadist manuals from the Web. Many among Britain’s 1.6 million Muslims said she should not have been prosecuted, describing her actions as foolish and offensive, but not criminal. Before the sentencing, Muhammad Abdul Bari, the head of the Muslim Council of Britain, the country’s largest Muslim organization, told The Times of London that “many young people download objectionable material from the Internet, but it seems that if you are a Muslim, then this could lead to terrorist charges, even if you have absolutely no intention to do harm to anyone else.”"

Afghan police:Taliban hangs teenager boy for so-called "spying"_English_Xinhua

The Religion of Peace. Ah. If only the whole world could be blessed with Islam so that we can all be at peace - like these kids.

Afghan police:Taliban hangs teenager boy for so-called "spying"_English_Xinhua: "A teenager boy was hanged by Taliban insurgents on Saturday morning in Sangin district of southern Afghan Helmand province for alleged 'spying' activities, local police said.
Helmand provincial police chief Mohammad Hussein Andiwal told Xinhua that the Taliban claiming the child was spying for the Afghan government and foreign troops had killed the innocent boy by hanging.
'Actually the poor boy has nothing to do with the government and foreign troops,' Andiwal said."

Nancy Pelosi Approved of Waterboarding

When she had nothing politically on the line, she approved, once she had to take a stand to help the terrorists, she took it instead.

Vote Democrat and see if we can save more terrorists for politics.

lgf: Nancy Pelosi Approved of Waterboarding: "In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA’s overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk. Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said. “The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough,” said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange."

Imam's daughter in hiding after her conversion to Christianity sparked death threats | the Daily Mail

The Religion of Peace is afraid of people who leave it?

Why? What are they afraid of?

Imam's daughter in hiding after her conversion to Christianity sparked death threats | the Daily Mail: "The daughter of a British imam is living under police protection after receiving death threats from her father for converting to Christianity. The 31-year-old, whose father is the leader of a mosque in Lancashire, has moved house an astonishing 45 times after relatives pledged to hunt her down and kill her. The British-born university graduate, who uses the pseudonym Hannah for her own safety, said she renounced the Muslim faith to escape being forced into an arranged marriage when she was 16. She has been in hiding for more than a decade but called in police only a few months ago after receiving a text message from her brother. In it, he said he would not be held responsible for his actions if she failed to return to Islam."

Gunman Opens Fire Inside Colorado Christian Missionary Center

FOXNews.com - Two Dead, Two Wounded, After Gunman Opens Fire Inside Colorado Christian Missionary Center - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News: "The manhunt for a gunman who killed two people and wounded two others when he opened fire inside a Christian missionary training facility near Denver dragged on Sunday, as police appealed to the public for help catching a killer on the loose. The shooter entered a dormitory on the campus of Faith Bible Church, a Youth With a Mission training facility for Christian missionaries, in Arvada, Colo., a Denver suburb, at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday and shot four people, killing two of them, before fleeing on foot.
The gunman, described by witnesses as a white male in his twenties wearing a dark skull cap and jacket, who may also have had a beard and eye glasses, remained at large, Arvada Police spokeswoman Susan Medina told Fox News."

Iran's Ramazan Corps and the ratlines into Iraq - The Long War Journal

Iran's Ramazan Corps and the ratlines into Iraq - The Long War Journal: "Tribal militias in Wasit province formed to help secure the Iranian border. 'The leader of the Migasees tribe here in Wasit province, acknowledged tribal leaders have discussed creating a brigade of young men trained by the Americans to bolster local security as well as help patrol the border with Iran,' the Associated Press reported. Tribal militias are forming in Maysan and Basrah provinces, Multination Forces Iraq told The Long War Journal in a recent inquiry on the status of the Concerned Local Citizens forces currently forming nationwide.
Iran’s complicity with the Iraqi insurgency has been a problem since the Coalition invasion of Iraq in March 2003. It was only in late 2006 that the US began to address this problem seriously. Whether Iranian intervention in Iraq is increasing, decreasing, or unchanged, Coalition and Iraqi forces must continue military and counterterrorism operations against the Ramazan Corps inside Iraq. While there have been several reports of Coalition special forces conducting raids inside Iran these accounts are unconfirmed. The Iraqi and Coalition governments must continue to pressure Iran both militarily and diplomatically to halt its terror operations inside Iraq in order for the central government to gain stronger control of the security of the country as a whole."

Hitler in modern middle east

PMW - Latest Bulletins: "This text is just part of the official Palestinian radio Ramadan quiz that was rebroadcast this past week, whose hero was Hitler. The full broadcast presents Hitler heroically, detailing his 2 Medals' of Honor in World War 1, his rise to power, his launching of World War 2 and specifies country after country that he conquered. His victories in 1940 are coined 'his golden year', while his defeat and death are coined: 'his bitter end.' Not surprisingly, though citing his victories and 'bitter' fall in great detail, the Holocaust is not mentioned. This is consistent with Palestinian education in general which erases the Holocaust from history. See recent full PMW report and bulletin on new 12th grade Palestinian history schoolbook, in which many pages are dedicated to the history of World War 2 and even to Nazi racism, but neither Jews nor the Holocaust are mentioned."

Flaws in the Iran Report

John Bolton comes out firing with both barrels! If you believed this NIE, after reading this you will have doubts. Why WAS the National Intelligence Estimate written by diplomats instead of intelligence analysts? Why was this handled by people who all dislike to upset terrorists? Something smells like Clinton around here...

Collactive: GIYUS.org - Flaws in the Iran Report: "Rarely has a document from the supposedly hidden world of intelligence had such an impact as the National Intelligence Estimate released this week. Rarely has an administration been so unprepared for such an event. And rarely have vehement critics of the 'intelligence community' on issues such as Iraq's weapons of mass destruction reversed themselves so quickly. All this shows that we not only have a problem interpreting what the mullahs in Tehran are up to, but also a more fundamental problem: Too much of the intelligence community is engaging in policy formulation rather than 'intelligence' analysis, and too many in Congress and the media are happy about it. President Bush may not be able to repair his Iran policy (which was not rigorous enough to begin with) in his last year, but he would leave a lasting legacy by returning the intelligence world to its proper function."

U.S. Intel Possibly Duped by Iran

I am glad that so many people have seen the 'flaws', if not outright lies, in this NIE. Read this to see many of them pointed out!

Newsmax.com - U.S. Intel Possibly Duped by Iran: "The NIE opined that the new assessment leads to the policy conclusion that the United States should offer “some combination of threats of intensified international scrutiny and pressures, along with opportunites,” in order to lock in Iranian good behavior. This carrot and stick approach has been the State Department’s preferred policy for the past 27 years, and has only strengthened the resolve of Iran’s leaders to continue defying the United States. “Those [countries that] assume that decaying methods such as psychological war, political propaganda and the so-called economic sanctions would work and prevent Iran's fast drive toward progress are mistaken,' Ahmadinejad said in Tehran in September at a military parade. By “progress” Ahmadinejad was referring to Iran’s recently-declared success at enriching uranium."

Israeli-Arab men brutally rape 'dirty Jew'

Yes, the Pallys need a state, just to lock them away in. A huge jail with three walls and a partial roof. Let them head into Arab lands if they want, or fire rockets into Arab lands. The Arabs won't tolerate this kind of stupidity!

Israeli-Arab men brutally rape 'dirty Jew': "A group of young Israeli-Arab men recently attacked and raped two intoxicated Jewish teenage girls near the coastal city of Netanya, the Israeli police released for publication on Sunday. The shocking attack took place two weeks ago, when the six Arab men happened upon the two Jewish girls as they sat drinking late at night in a public square in Netanya. According to Ynet, the girls resisted the men's advances, but were soon after were compelled, either physically or due to their inebriated state, to enter their assailants' vehicle. The girls were then driven to a nearby beach where one managed to escape or avoid being raped. The second girl was not so lucky, and though nearly unconscious, was beaten, raped and sodomized repeatedly by the young Arabs as they called her a 'dirty Jew.' All six men have reportedly been arrested, and at least one has confessed to the attack after being presented with DNA evidence connecting him to the crime."
