Teachers ordered to dress up as Muslims

You have to be kidding! This can't be true!

Teachers ordered to dress up as Muslims | the Daily Mail: "Teachers at a primary school have been ordered to dress up as Muslims to promote multi-culturalism. The West Midlands school is belatedly celebrating the Muslim festival of Eid and told its pupils and teachers to don traditional Muslim dress for the day. All 257 pupils, most of whom are Christians, and 41 teachers - two of whom are Muslims - dressed up."

HA! I thought we sent over SEALs, not sharks.

Iraqi fisherman nets shark 160 miles from sea - Yahoo! News: "Locals blamed the U.S. military for the shark's presence. Tahseen Ali, a teacher, said there was a '75 percent chance' Americans had put the shark in the water. 'This is very frightening for us.

Cleric: Women's Sexy Clothing Distracting Muslim Men From Sleep, Prayers

This is great! Take it off ladies! Drive this pig crazy!

FOXNews.com - Cleric: Women's Sexy Clothing Distracting Muslim Men From Sleep, Prayers - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Malaysia's Muslim men are suffering sleepless nights and cannot pray properly because their thoughts are distracted by a growing number of women who wear sexy clothes in public, a prominent cleric said.

Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, the spiritual leader of the opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, said he wanted to speak about the "emotional abuse" that men face because it is seldom discussed, the party reported on its Web site Wednesday.

"We always [hear about] the abuse of children and wives in households, which is easily perceived by the eye, but the emotional abuse of men cannot be seen," Nik Abdul Aziz said. "Our prayers become unfocused and our sleep is often disturbed."

Nik Abdul Aziz has made controversial comments about women in the past, including that women should stop wearing lipstick and perfume to lower the risk of being raped. Women's groups have slammed his statements, saying Islam teaches both men and women to be responsible for modesty. They say comments like these encourage rapes because it puts the onus on women."

Jury Awards Father $2.9M in Funeral Case

Good! Those scum make me sick. If I was the horrible vicious Right-Wing thug that I get accused of being, I might have to harm them. Since I am a God Fearing, Right Thinking American who believes that death is not a good thing, I will have to let them be .

Jury Awards Father $2.9M in Funeral Case: "A grieving father won a $2.9 million verdict Wednesday against a fundamentalist Kansas church that pickets military funerals out of a belief that the war in Iraq is a punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality. Albert Snyder of York, Pa., sued the Westboro Baptist Church for unspecified damages after members staged a demonstration at the March 2006 funeral of his son, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, who was killed in Iraq. Church members routinely picket funerals of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, carrying signs such as 'Thank God for dead soldiers' and 'God hates fags.'"

Iraqi Official: Kidnapped Sheiks Freed

Thank the Lord that these guys are free! I am also pleasantly shocked to read that the group refused to separate by religion and allow for another sectarian blood bath.Things are starting to come together! They just need more time to work things out.

Iraqi Official: Kidnapped Sheiks Freed: "A group of Sunni and Shiite sheiks seized from their cars in Baghdad have been released, said Maj. Gen. Mohammed al-Askari, a Defense Ministry spokesman. He declined to specify how many or give more details. Police and relatives have identified the tribal leaders abducted in Baghdad as seven Shiites and three Sunnis who were on their way home to Diyala province after a meeting with a government official in the capital. Police said late Sunday they had found the bullet-riddled body of one of the Sunni sheiks, Mishaan Hilan, about 50 yards away from where the ambush took place, an officer said, adding that the victim was identified after his mobile phone was found on him. The U.S. military on Monday said a rogue Shiite militia leader was responsible."

On March 16, 1988, Iraqi planes dropped bombs filled with deadly gas on the Kurdish city of Halabja.

An estimated 5,000 people were killed on Bloody Friday. Some say they were the lucky ones.

HALABJA, Iraq - The Kurdish city of Halabja in northern Iraq may be one of the most haunted places on Earth.

If the mountains south of the city could speak, they would tell the story of March 16, 1988, the day Iraqi military planes dropped chemical bombs on the unsuspecting city. And if the earth covering the mass graves in the city's cluttered cemetery could, it would whisper the names of the 5,000 people killed that day.

Ten Sheiks Allied Against Al Qaeda Kidnapped in Iraq

I think the AQ are getting desperate. They really want to harm the coalition that the US has put together before they are completely run out of the area. I hope these sheiks are ok and that their captors die messily and soon.

FOXNews.com - Ten Sheiks Allied Against Al Qaeda Kidnapped in Iraq - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Ten Sunni and Shiite tribal leaders who had joined forces against Al-Qaeda in Iraq were abducted by gunmen as they were traveling home to Diyala province after a meeting with a government official in Baghdad, police and a relative said. The gunmen ambushed the two cars carrying the 10 men in Baghdad's predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Shaab at about 3:30 p.m., police officials said. The sheiks -- seven Sunnis and three Shiites -- were on their way back to Diyala province after attending a conference with the Shiite-dominated government's adviser for tribal affairs to discuss coordinating efforts against Al-Qaeda in Iraq. They were representing a so-called Awakening Council, as the anti-Al-Qaeda groups often are known, in the Salam area, due east of Baqouba, a former Al-Qaeda stronghold. U.S. military commanders have attributed a drop in violence in the city, 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad, to the increased public opposition to Al-Qaeda, as well as an influx of thousands of extra U.S. troops as part of a security crackdown."

Homeland Security strikes deal with New York on driver's licenses -- Newsday.com

Will illegal aliens want to get a valid id? Will other states or agencies assume most of these cards belong to illegal aliens and automatically arrest them?

Homeland Security strikes deal with New York on driver's licenses -- Newsday.com: "The Bush administration and New York cut a deal Saturday to create a new generation of super-secure driver's licenses for U.S. citizens, but also allow illegal immigrants to get a version. New York is the fourth state to reach such an agreement on federally approved secure licenses, after Arizona, Vermont and Washington. The issue is pressing for border states, where new and tighter rules are soon to go into effect for crossings. The deal comes about one month after New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced a plan whereby illegal immigrants with a valid foreign passport could obtain a license."

"Inspiration For Taliban Attack on Women’s Rights Group is Islam"

I wonder why the feminists support Islam over Christianity? Do they have a secret desire to be treated like this?

Islam Watch - "Inspiration For Taliban Attack on Women’s Rights Group is Islam": "Women according to the Qu’ran: can be beaten to make them obedient Q.4:34, Women’s witness is only worth half of men’s Q.2.282, women receive only half of the inheritance of men Q.4.11, Women have unequal rights to divorce, Men may have 4 wives at a time and unlimited sex slaves. Even married women slaves who they capture are permitted for their enjoyment by the Islamic God Allah: Q.23:05-06, Q.4:24 “Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess…..”Q.33:50 “O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee…..” Their marriages would be immediately dissolved by the Merciful Allah."

It's called 'jihad' for a reason

Millions of Muslims want to enslave or kill us but the pascifists want us to ignore it. I am glad I pay attention!

It's called 'jihad' for a reason - Op-Ed: "At the popular level, Salafization of the Muslim world does not require any abstract discussion. The most recent data is self-explanatory. In four ethnically and culturally diverse Islamic countries - Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan and Indonesia - WorldPublicOpinion.org (a website produced by the highly reputable Program on International Policy Attitudes and the University of Maryland's Center for International and Security Studies) reported the following trends in Muslim thought: on average, 79 percent of respondents think it is likely the United States is trying to weaken and divide Islam, 70 percent at least somewhat agree that Sharia law should be strictly applied in every Islamic country, 27 percent do not feel that groups using violence against civilians violate the principles of Islam (Pakistan not included), 70 percent support standing up to America and affirming the dignity of the Islamic people, and 64 percent believe that the U.S. intends to spread Christianity in their regions."

Iraqi government reports dramatic reduction in violence since June, a 50% drop in civilian deaths across the country from August to Septem

Good news from Iraq? I wonder why the Media has not reported this?

DEBKAfile - Iraqi government reports dramatic reduction in violence since June, a 50% drop in civilian deaths across the country from August to September: "Iraqi government reports dramatic reduction in violence since June, a 50% drop in civilian deaths across the country from August to September October 22, 2007, 9:15 PM (GMT+02:00) In Baghdad, car bombs decreased by 67 percent and roadside bombs by 40 percent from June with a 28 percent drop in bodies found dumped in the capital. In former insurgent hotbed of Anbar, where Sunni Arab tribes are fighting al Qaeda alongside US forces, violent deaths have dropped 82 percent. Monday, as these figures were released, bomb blasts in Baghdad and northern Mosul killed five people, while 6 gunmen died in clashes with the police in the Shiite town of Karbala south of Baghdad. And Nineveh province in the north, to which al Qaeda and Sunni insurgents have fled, has seen a 129 percent increase in car bombings and 114 percent increase in deaths."

Olmert sounds alarm: Iran has crossed red line for developing a nuclear weapon. It’s too late for sanctions

Has the world dallied too long?

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile Exclusive: Olmert sounds alarm: Iran has crossed red line for developing a nuclear weapon. It’s too late for sanctions: "Olmert sounds alarm: Iran has crossed red line for developing a nuclear weapon. It’s too late for sanctions October 22, 2007, 2:18 PM (GMT+02:00) This is the message prime minister Ehud Olmert is carrying urgently to French President Nicolas Sarkozy Monday and British premier Gordon Brown Tuesday, according to DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources. Last week, Olmert placed the Israeli intelligence warning of an Iranian nuclear breakthrough before Russian president Vladimir Putin, while Israel’s defense minister Ehud Barak presented the updated intelligence on the advances Iran has made towards its goal of a nuclear weapon to American officials in Washington, including President Bush. Olmert will be telling Sarkozy and Brown that the moment for diplomacy or even tough sanctions has passed. Iran can only be stopped now from going all the way to its goal by direct, military action. Information of the Iranian breakthrough prompted the latest spate of hard-hitting US statements. Sunday, Oct. 21, US vice president Cheney said: 'Our country, and the entire international community, cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its grandest ambitions.''

Who is a racist? Not Iran!

Al-Ahram Weekly | Focus | Of banality and burden: "Ahmadinejad's September 2007 visit to Columbia was overwhelmingly dominated not by the inanities that he repeated in his talk, nor indeed by the horrors the Islamic Republic has perpetrated against its own citizens over the last three decades, but in fact by the rude and racist remarks that Lee Bollinger made when introducing him. In his own remarks, Ahmadinejad said nothing outside his regular nonsense--yet again effectively denying the suffering of millions of human beings and their descendents during and in the aftermath of the Jewish Holocaust, denying that there are even homosexuals in Iran, denying Iranian women are the second rate citizens in their own country. No amount of footnotes or linguistic, political, or cultural fine- tuning can excuse these inexcusable obscenities. No degree of solidarity with the Palestinian cause can ever translate into denying or belittling the monumental suffering of other human beings viciously murdered in their millions by the German Nazis in European concentration camps in the course of the Jewish Holocaust. No cultural explication of the difference between the varieties of homoeroticism in Iran and outside Iran can explain the fact that non-heterosexual practices in the Islamic Republic are severely repressed, denigrated, or even punished. No amount of cultural finagling can change the fact that Iranian women live in a legally sanctioned"

Moroccan-Dutch youth riot in Amsterdam following fatal incident

Cops kill a man trying to murder them, so the Muslims riot? Ship them all home! Or all to an island someplace where they can tell each other all about how Allah will allow them to kill all the Jews when they get free. Maybe they can prove they are peaceful? HAHAHAHAHA! Like that would happen!

Digital Journal - Moroccan-Dutch youth riot in Amsterdam following fatal incident: "Moroccan-Dutch youths rioted in Amsterdam overnight Tuesday.

A group of dozens of youths in the Slotervaart neighbourhood in western Amsterdam set cars on fire, damaged several other cars and threw stones through the windows of a police station.

The riots followed the death of 22-year old Dutch-born Bilal Bajaka, of Moroccan descent.

On Sunday, Bajaka entered the police station of Slotervaart, stabbing two police officers with a knife.

Although having sustained serious injuries, one of the officers, a policewoman, shot and killed her alleged attacker on the spot.

The two police officers were later brought to the hospital where their condition was described as "serious but stable." "

Concealed Weapons Advocate Suspended From School, Ordered to Have Head Examined

Free Scheffler! Free Scheffler! This is a joke! The kid is right on his points and the school is just afraid to admit that Leftist Fascism does not work in reality. To counter the shooter, you need a shooter, not a bunch of sheep lined up for the slaughter.

FOXNews.com - Concealed Weapons Advocate Suspended From School, Ordered to Have Head Examined - Brit Hume | Special Report: "Gun Safety

A student at Hamline University in Minnesota has been suspended and ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation for advocating the carrying of legal concealed weapons on campus.

TownHall.com reports Troy Scheffler made the case in an e-mail to a school official that licensed gun owners could stop or prevent the kind of violence that struck Virginia Tech earlier this year. He pointed out that research has indicated the possibility of armed resistance discourages potential criminals. And he noted that many Virginia Tech students have said the massacre there would not have happened if the school had not banned concealed weapons.

But even though the school has a policy that guarantees students will be free to discuss all questions of interest and express their opinions openly, the dean of students says Scheffler's e-mail was deemed to be threatening. Scheffler was placed on interim suspension, which will only be lifted after he agrees to a psychological evaluation."

Israel: Hamas Waves The White Flag

Israel: Hamas Waves The White Flag: "Hamas Waves The White Flag October 16, 2007: Hamas is now willing to give up control of Gaza, and negotiate a peace deal with Fatah. Hamas is caught between its rhetoric and the reality of its situation. Hamas still calls for the destruction of Israel, but with Palestinians ruled by Fatah in the West Bank living so much better than those living under Hamas rule in Gaza, Hamas is rapidly becoming less popular. Hamas is also becoming less stable, with the more radical factions unwilling to give up control over Gaza, even if that control is threatened by an increasingly anti-Hamas population.

In northern Gaza, Israeli troops and Palestinian terrorists play a deadly game of cat and mouse. The Palestinians try and sneak to locations where they can set up Kassam rockets, set timers to automatically launch them into southern Israel, and then get away before Israeli artillery or missiles arrive. An Israeli radar spots the rockets after they launch, turns on warning sirens in any town the rockets might be headed for, and plots the launching location. This information goes to artillery units, which fire shells to destroy the Kassem launchers, or kill any Palestinians dumb enough to hang around. This sometimes includes teenage (or younger) Palestinians who try to rush in and grab the metal launchers (to sell) before the artillery hits."

yrian Official Admits Israeli Airstrike Hit Nuke Facility

I wonder where Saddam's nuclear materials went? Any one? Any one?

FOXNews.com - Syrian Official Says Israeli Airstrike Hit Nuke Facility - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "A high-ranking Syrian official confirmed that Israel's airstrike last month in northern Syria hit a nuclear facility, according to a document obtained Wednesday by FOX News. 'Israel was the fourth-largest exporter of weapons of mass destruction and a violator of other nations' airspace, and it had taken action against nuclear facilities, including the 6 July attack in Syria,' Syrian representative Bassam Darwish is quoted in the document as saying. Diplomats familiar with the document cannot explain why July 6 was invoked, instead of Sept. 6, the date both countries say an incident occurred. A State Department source tells FOX News the best explanation is that Darwish misspoke. The document, released by the General Assembly's Department of Public Information, recounted Tuesday's proceedings at the annual gathering of the U.N.'s Disarmament and International Security Committee. What is clear is that this is the first time Syria has acknowledged its nuclear efforts."

"I pray that Allah gives me the honor to be dead in an operation"

Why do the Muslims all claim to be the religion of Peace while saying things like this? Who are they trying to fool?

The Jawa Report v3.0 Beta: "Klein: "What you are saying is interesting because a lot of academics in the United States and many of my colleagues in the media claim Palestinians become suicide bombers because they are poor and desperate and because of so-called Israeli occupation. Are you telling me these are not the reasons you want to blow yourself up amongst Israelis?" asked Klein

AHMED: The will to scarify myself for Allah is the first and most major reason. It is true that the Zionists are occupying our lands and that it is our religious duty to fight them, including through suicide attacks. The goal is not the killing of the Jews, but that this is the way to reach Allah.

The goal is satisfying Allah and his instructions. No money interests, nothing. No brainwash, no pressure; it is my decision. All the other lies are pathetic Israeli propaganda.

I pray that Allah gives me the honor to be dead in an operation. This is the supreme and the noblest way to ascend to Allah.

These martyrs have special status in the next world and have bigger chances to watch Allah's face and enjoy the magnificent pleasures he offers us.""

Zakat and Jihad

lgf: Dubai, NASDAQ, Zakat, and Jihad: "Like every Muslim country, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) collects mandatory Islamic charity (Zakat- the Third Pillar of Islam — an annual wealth tax), of about 2.5-percent from Muslim institutions and companies. Being non-Muslims, foreign banks and oil companies theoretically don’t pay Zakat. But foreign banks and oil companies in fact do pay 20 percent of their profits, but rather than Zakat, these mandatory payments are called “tax.” Zakat we are told, is to help the needy. However, Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader, Yusuf Qaradawi decrees, “Declaring holy war...is an Islamic duty, and fighting ....is the Way of Allah for which Zakat must be spent.” In his 1999 publication, “Fiqh az-Zakat,” Qaradawi adds,

"The most important form of jihad today is serious, purposefully organized work to rebuild Islamic society and state and to implement the Islamic way of life in the political, cultural and economic domains. This is certainly most deserving of Zakat."

"Jihad is all we need"

Pakistan Christian Post: "'Our mission is clear. What we want is to free our country from Christian colonisers -- by this I mean Ethiopia,' said Sheikh Mukhtar Robow, a radical Islamist leader who recently resurfaced in the Somali capital. 'At this point, jihad is all we need. There is no political process we can be involved in unless we get a government practicing Sharia (Islamic law),' the militant leader told AFP by phone."

Afghan suicide bomber kills own family: "A mother who tried to stop her son from carrying out a suicide bomb attack triggered an explosion in the family's home in southern Afghanistan that killed the would-be bomber, his mother and three siblings, police said Monday. The would-be bomber had been studying at a madrassa, or religious school, in Pakistan, and when he returned to his home in Uruzgan province over the weekend announced that he planned to carry out a suicide attack, Interior Ministry spokesman Zemeri Bashary said. Surviving family members told police that the suicide vest exploded during a struggle between the mother and her son, said Juma Gul Himat, Uruzgan's police chief. The man's brother and two sisters were also killed."

Israel boycott illegal and cannot be implemented, UCU tells members

Notice that the boycott is designed for the safety of the members. It is NOT to punish the Israelis, but rather to placate the Muslims who love to kill things. I think the whole thing is starting to sound like they were just placating the Muslims with a motion that they knew would be overturned! How cynical and typical of the Leftists who run academia.

UCU - University and College Union - Israel boycott illegal and cannot be implemented, UCU tells members: "UCU general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: 'Since congress our first priority has always been to keep the union, and its members, safe during what has been a very difficult time. I hope this decision will allow all to move forwards and focus on what is our primary objective, the representation of our members. 'I believe if we do this we may also, where possible, play a positive role in supporting Palestinian and Israeli educators and in promoting a just peace in the Middle East.'"

London bomber twisted Belafonte's `Banana Boat' song to preach jihad to kids

Hey kids! Sing along and strap on this vest!

Imagine this in a Christian church? The Left would be all over it! Since it is in a mosque, I guess it is fine, however.

I wonder what Belafonte thinks of this? He has said that President Bush is evil incarnate and the the Religion of Peace needs to be respected, so this might be an authorized version.

London bomber twisted Belafonte's `Banana Boat' song to preach jihad to kids: ""Come Mr. Taliban, come give me kuffir...my Kalasnikov. Come Mr. Taliban, come bomb England... before the daylight come, you wanna see Ten Downing Street.

Wow. I could vomit from frustration.

Anger over plan to dig up 350,000 bodies in historic London cemetery for Muslim burial site | the Daily Mail: "It is a peaceful resting place for 350,000 souls - an historic graveyard which now serves as a nature reserve. But plans are afoot to dig up the ancient graves at Tower Hamlets Cemetery - and reopen it as a 21st century burial site. Officially it would be known as a 'multi-faith' cemetery but it is likely that it would principally answer calls for a Muslim graveyard in the largely-Asian East London borough."

Marines Press to Remove Their Forces From Iraq - New York Times

Marines Press to Remove Their Forces From Iraq - New York Times: "The Marine Corps is pressing to remove its forces from Iraq and to send marines instead to Afghanistan, to take over the leading role in combat there, according to senior military and Pentagon officials. The idea by the Marine Corps commandant would effectively leave the Iraq war in the hands of the Army while giving the Marines a prominent new role in Afghanistan, under overall NATO command. The suggestion was raised in a session last week convened by Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and regional war-fighting commanders. While still under review, its supporters, including some in the Army, argue that a realignment could allow the Army and Marines each to operate more efficiently in sustaining troop levels for two wars that have put a strain on their forces."

To Kurtz’s obvious frustration, his guests - Robin Wright of the Washington Post and Barbara Starr of CNN - both supported the press burying this extremely positive announcement. I kid you not."

Iran: Insiders See Doomsday Approaching

The end is coming, one way or another.

Iran: Insiders See Doomsday Approaching: "Efforts to impose more sanctions on Iran are gathering more adherents. France, and most European nations are willing to make it more difficult for Iran to smuggle in components for weapons, particularly nuclear bombs. This forces Iran to be more dependent on Russia and China for their weapons and industrial needs. That suits Russia and China just fine, as they compete with European firms all the time, and it's nice to have an edge in Iran."

Israel lifts military censorship on Sept. 6 Israeli air force attack Tuesday, 24 hours after Assad’s partial admissio

While the full story is still not known, at least a few more tidbits are getting out.

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile Exclusive: Israel lifts military censorship on Sept. 6 Israeli air force attack Tuesday, 24 hours after Assad’s partial admission: "Monday, Oct. 1, Syrian president Bashar Assad claimed to the BBC that Israel had struck an empty military installation under construction on Sept. 6 and that for Syria to retaliate militarily would be playing by “Israel’s rules.” DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources report the Israeli military thereupon lifted its month-long ban on its publication Tuesday, without clearing any further information on the attack in the hope of closing the books on the affair. The reasoning behind this decision was that if Israel refrained from knocking down Assad’s version of the incident and let it stand as an Israeli intelligence goof shared by America, Syrian honor would be satisfied and a sequel avoided. Defense minister Ehud Barak promoted this rationale when he said after the attack that since neither Syria nor Israel wanted war, it would not occur."

Why are illegals part of the population?

This is stupid! If you are not legally here, how can you count as a citizen? You might count as bait for Michael Vick's dog fights, or Rosie O'Donnell's house slave and/or appetizer, but not as a citizen!

I volunteer to start collecting names and funds to help build a non-citizen detention center! I know a few bus drivers, a bunch of corrections officers, and many first responders. We can easily gather this base of people and start to build a prison camp to deport illegals from.

Who wants to help?

Illegals could cost congressional seats: "U.S. states with large numbers of undocumented immigrants could receive additional seats in Congress after the 2010 census is conducted. A University of Connecticut study concluded Arizona, Texas and Florida could all see their House delegations increase due to rising populations that include sizable numbers of illegal immigrants. Although they can’t vote, such aliens are included in the census. The San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News predicted Tuesday the pending 2010 headcount could be the subject of a political fight as Democrats and Republicans jockey for position before House seats are reallocated.

Breitbart.tv » Reno Vet Cuts Down Mexican Flag Illegally Flown On Top of US Flag

"I'm Jim Broussard," he said, "and I took this flag down in honor of my country with … a knife from the United States Army. I'm a veteran, I'm not going to see this done to my country. If they want to fight us, then they need to be men, and they need to come and fight us. But I want somebody to fight me for this flag. They're not going to get it back."

Go Jim!! If these Mexicans like Mexico so much, send them back! This is the United States, NOT Mexico. If you don't like living in the US, why are you here? Send him home!

Counter-Terrorism: The Crises In Europe

I am glad that I am not a Euro-politician and have to ignore all the Muslim terrorist attacks in the name of Political Correctness!

Counter-Terrorism: The Crises In Europe: "Europe has about five times as many Moslems as the United States, and the ones in Europe are rather more into Islamic terrorism than their brethren across the Atlantic. This is because of the widespread prejudice in Europe, and isolation from the terrorism back in the old country. Islamic terrorism is easier to admire if it is far away. Moreover, American police came down hard on Islamic radicals after September 11, 2001. That, plus the patriotism of most U.S. Moslems, led to lots of imprisonments and deportations (many U.S. Moslems were illegal aliens)."

Bush to UN: You’ve Neglected Your Mission, So America Will Lead

The despots who now rule the UN will ignore the US as long as they possibly can. That is why they hate the US, the US believes in freedom!

Bush to UN: You’ve Neglected Your Mission, So America Will Lead: "You didn’t hear much about it, but last Tuesday President Bush used the words of the United Nations’ own founding documents to damn that corrupt and ineffectual institution – while re-asserting his own global emphasis on democracy, free markets and the defeat of tyranny and terrorism.

It wasn’t hard to read between the lines and ascertain Bush’s ultimate point: The UN has failed to lead, so the United States is going to have to do it.

In a 21-minute address to the General Assembly, Bush essentially told the UN that it does some good things, but it is failing through corruption and neglect to tend to its primary mission, which is to ensure that people throughout the world have political freedom and an opportunity to better their own lives."

Justice Thomas talks about race

ABC News: Part I: My Grandfather's Son: "'People get bent out of shape about the fact that when I was a kid, you could not drink out of certain water fountains. Well, the water was the same. My grandfather always said that, 'The water's exactly the same.' But those same people are extremely comfortable saying I can't drink from this fountain of knowledge,' Thomas says. 'They certainly don't see themselves as being like the bigots in the South. Well, I've lived both experiences. And I really don't see that they're any different from them.' He says his critics — the people who question whether he is smart or qualified to be on the Court or who suggest he merely does what a white Supreme Court colleague dictates — are as also as bigoted as the whites of his childhood in the deep South."

US military deaths in Iraq lowest in 14 months

This is horrible! If you are a Leftist or jihadi. Congratulations guys!

US military deaths in Iraq lowest in 14 months: "US military losses in Iraq for September stood at 70 on Sunday, the lowest monthly figure since July last year, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures. The figure also marks the fourth consecutive drop in the monthly death toll following a high of 121 in May. June saw 93 deaths, July 82 and August 79. The monthly toll in July 2006 was 53."

How-to explosives video made by man arrested in SC | DailyComet.com | Daily Comet | Thibodaux, LA

These guys look more and more like terrorists every time a new story about them gets out. I am interested by how much more the jihadis get CAIR support every time they make the news. It is kind of scary how far they will go to protect terrorists.

Authorities: How-to explosives video made by man arrested in SC | DailyComet.com | Daily Comet | Thibodaux, LA: "Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, who was indicted last month on federal charges, told authorities he made the video 'to assist those persons in Arabic countries to defend themselves against the infidels invading their countries,' according to an FBI agent's sworn statement filed Tuesday. Mohamed said 'he considered American troops, and those military forces fighting with the American military, to be invaders of Arab countries,' according to the FBI agent's statement."

Accusations from Paris that Iran is building new clandestine military nuclear plant south of Natanz

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile reports: Accusations from Paris that Iran is building new clandestine military nuclear plant south of Natanz: "Accusations from Paris that Iran is building new clandestine military nuclear plant south of Natanz

September 28, 2007, 10:43 AM (GMT+02:00)
National Council of Resistance of Iran’s chairman, Mehdi Abrishamchi

National Council of Resistance of Iran’s chairman, Mehdi Abrishamchi

The latest round of the international campaign against Iran’s covert nuclear activities is coming out of Paris, DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources report. A statement by President Nicolas Sarkozy Thursday, Sept. 27 that he does not believe Iran’s program is peaceful was followed by a press conference at which the National Council of Resistance of Iran’s chairman, Mehdi Abrishamchi, reported Iran was constructing a new site for a secret military project 5 km south of the Natanz nuclear complex.

Sarkozy’s spokesman David Martinon said: “Ahmadinejad claims his country’s nuclear activities are peaceful. Ultimately, we do not believe him. Everyone knows that the program has military goals. We have a string of clues leading us to that conclusion. The question is not settled.”

DEBKAfile notes that, five years ago, the Americans used the same roundabout technique for making their first disclosures of Iran’s nuclear violations.

They fed the revelation that uranium enrichment was taking place at Natanz to the same resistance group, NCRI (Mujahideen Qalq), which then called a press conference in Washington and laid it before the public.

Surprisingly, this time, Tehran made its own contribution to the disclosures. The local newspaper Kayhan stated on Sept. 25: “The intelligence that the West currently has on Iran’s nuclear program is limited to sites accessible to IAEA inspectors – and more than that they do not know.”

Two days later, the NCRI went before the press in Paris with the little information he had, which nonetheless substantiated Tehran’s admission.

Iran is apparently bracing for a fresh spate of international allegations and disclosures from intelligence sources about its most secret nuclear activities for military purposes.

Abrishamchi’s seeming first installment did not specify what was going on at the new site or the nature of its contribution to Iran’s weapons program.

He located it near the small village of Abbas-Abad 5 km south of Natanz in the Siah mountain. The site, he said, consisted of a sprawling underground area with two tunnels which run under two mountains connected to Natanz. The tunnel entrance is six meters wide. Building began in 2006 and is scheduled to end in March 2008. Revolutionary Guards Brig. Gen. Tabatabi monitors progress of the work every week; it is overseen by his deputy Brig. Gen. Daneshjo.

To preserve the project’s secrecy, the NCRI chairman reported, its various sections were assigned to different agencies and units of the defense ministry and Revolutionary Guards, none of which has the whole picture.

DEBKAfile’s sources believe that just enough data were rationed out to Abrishamchi to let the Iranians know that US and French intelligence has a lot more. How much more is released will depend on Tehran’s reaction. If the clerical rulers continue to maintain like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that their program is purely for peaceful purposes and the issue is closed, more solid information on Iranian illicit undertakings is likely to be laid bare."

The First Post: Beware Russia, energy superpower

The First Post: Beware Russia, energy superpower: "In a world concerned with terrorism, genocide and nuclear-powered despots, Vladimir Putin's Russia is assembling an economic machine powerful enough to force Europe, the US and Asia to their knees. It does not involve uranium, explosives or suicide bombers, but the natural resources that power the global economy. Russia will soon exert such sway over the supply of oil and natural gas that the OPEC crisis of the mid-1970s could seem trivial. Its pipelines will flow east into Asia and west into Europe and tankers will sail from Siberia to California. Russia will soon have such control over energy supply and pricing that it will be able to do anything it wants politically. Imagine this scenario. Europe is importing around one-third of its natural gas from Russia. Putin, or his successor, has an argument with the EU over democratic reform in a former Soviet state. Meanwhile, China is hungry for more natural gas. Russia changes the flow of its pipelines, channelling more to China and less to Europe, without any drop in its own revenue. Europe's industrial costs rocket, home heating becomes exorbitant and the EU economy collapses.
It was scarcely noticed during the dog days of August, but Russia has now overtaken Saudi Arabia as the world's largest producer of oil. It already dominates natural gas. Around £210m a day in oil and gas tax revenues now pour into the Russian treasury. Russia is now an oil and gas economy, with 52 per cent of all its state revenues and 35 per cent of its exports coming from the energy industry."

Marines In Search of A Mission::By George Will

Townhall.com::Marines In Search of A Mission::By George Will: "Here at 'the crossroads of the Marine Corps,' some officers are uneasily pondering a paradox: No service was better prepared than the Marines for the challenges of post-invasion Iraq, yet no service has found its mission there more unsettling to its sense of itself.
When asked in 1997 to describe the kind of conflict for which Marines were training, Gen. Charles Krulak, then the Corps' commandant, replied with one word: 'Chechnya.' He meant ethnic and sectarian conflict in an urban context. He spoke of 'the three-block war' in which a Marine wraps a child in a blanket, then is a buffer between warring factions, then engages in combat, all within three city blocks."

Israelis seized nuclear material in Syrian raid - Times Online

Israelis seized nuclear material in Syrian raid - Times Online: "Israeli commandos seized nuclear material of North Korean origin during a daring raid on a secret military site in Syria before Israel bombed it this month, according to informed sources in Washington and Jerusalem.

The attack was launched with American approval on September 6 after Washington was shown evidence the material was nuclear related, the well-placed sources say.

They confirmed that samples taken from Syria for testing had been identified as North Korean. This raised fears that Syria might have joined North Korea and Iran in seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. "

Kent State harbors and protects terrorist

Read this full article to see what you can do to help. The Left thinks that supporting murder is Free Speech? Can I advocate their murder then? Not that I would, of course. This is a free society that allows fools to speak, but we do not have to pay them for it!


Townhall.com::The Willing Suspension of Disbelief::By Mike S. Adams: "”We have not had formal complaints about Dr. Pino's classroom conduct or demeanor, by students or other instructors.”

I think the lack of formal complaints is best explained by the fact that Pino advocates blowing up those who disagree with his views. If you do not believe me, check out an editorial he wrote for the Kent State newspaper, in which he advocated the killing of innocent Jews by children with bombs strapped to their bodies. It is the kind of venom that requires a willing suspension of disbelief among those apprised of his status as a tenured professor at Kent State.

Certainly, you should have considered looking at what Pino has written in your own student newspaper before you suggested that he’s not the kind of guy who would advocate the mass murder of innocents. The guys who flew the planes into the World Trade Center were suicide bombers, were they not? "

Stories Not Reported

Winning: Stories Not Reported: "A major problem with the war on terror is keeping score. Even if you count things like the number of terrorists killed or captured, and the number of attacks, there's no consensus on what the numbers mean. Moreover, journalists and pundits rarely take a close look at what might have happened if nothing were done. Granted, it's difficult to report on another time line that didn't happen. The government actually spends a lot of money on computer simulations that do just this. But these tend to make poorly attended news stories, so journalists avoid them. Since these simulations are not reported, they, effectively, do not exist. But consider that, without an invasion of Iraq, al Qaeda would still be flying high and exploiting its popularity to carry out more attacks in the West."

Christian shoot back - see the video

WorldNetDaily: See what happens when terrorists attack church: "What happens when a gang of terrorists, armed to the teeth, attacks a church full of defenseless Christians? It happened in South Africa. But the terrorists were in for a surprise. One of those churchgoers was carrying a handgun – and, when he witnessed the carnage all around him, decided he had to shoot back."

World notices that Syria has nukes, finally

Praise the Lord that Israel still has some fighting spirit. Or at least a sense of self preservation. I thought it was almost gone!

Analysis: There's a reason world is quiet on alleged IAF strike | Jerusalem Post: "While on an existential level, the prospect of Syrian President Bashar Assad - deep in cahoots with Hizbullah and Hamas - in possession of anything nuclear is deeply frightening, and if we believe the foreign reports, on a diplomatic level the fact that the world media is writing 'North Korea,' 'nuclear cache' and 'Syria' together in the same sentence could actually be beneficial for Israel."

She said she felt 'terrorized ... not by American people, but by a very small group and prejudice. And it hurts.'"

World should brace for possible war over Iran: France

Another world leader who is suddenly talking about really dealing with the problem instead of just talking it to death, even if he still wants to continue with talks that will go no place.

World should brace for possible war over Iran: France: "The world should brace for a possible war over the Iranian nuclear crisis but seeking a solution through talks should take priority, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Sunday.

"We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war," he said in an interview broadcast on French television and radio.

"We must negotiate right to the end," with Iran, he said, but underlined that if Tehran possessed an atomic weapon, it would represent "a real danger for the whole world."

"We are trying to put in place plans which are the privilege of chiefs of staff and that is not for tomorrow," he said, referring to military plans but stressed that although any attack on Iran was far from taking place, "It is normal for us to plan" for any eventuality. "

Israelis ‘blew apart Syrian nuclear cache’ - Times Online

Praise the Lord! At least someone has the courage to attack these sites! I never would have guess it would happen while Olmert was in power, however. Is he growing bold?

Israelis ‘blew apart Syrian nuclear cache’ - Times Online: "“This was supposed to be a devastating Syrian surprise for Israel,” said an Israeli source. “We’ve known for a long time that Syria has deadly chemical warheads on its Scuds, but Israel can’t live with a nuclear warhead.” An expert on the Middle East, who has spoken to Israeli participants in the raid, told yesterday’s Washington Post that the timing of the raid on September 6 appeared to be linked to the arrival three days earlier of a ship carrying North Korean material labelled as cement but suspected of concealing nuclear equipment."

Al-Qaida puts $150,000 bounty on cartoonist for prophet drawing :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: World: "''We are calling for the assassination of cartoonist Lars Vilks who dared insult our prophet, peace be upon him, and we announce a reward during this generous month of Ramadan of $100,000 for the one who kills this criminal,'' the transcript on the Web site said. The al-Qaida leader upped the reward for Vilks' death to $150,000 if he was ''slaughtered like a lamb'' and offered $50,000 for the killing of Ulf Johansson, editor of Nerikes Allehanda, the Swedish paper that printed Vilks' cartoon Aug. 19. The cartoon showed the Prophet Muhammad with a dog's body."

Mystery of Dachau Album

Wow! I think this is an amazing find. This deserves its own museum.

iWon News - Woman Pursues Mystery of Dachau Album: "Deep in Shari Klages' memory is an image of herself as a girl in New Jersey, going into her parents' bedroom, pulling a thick leather-bound album from the top shelf of a closet and sitting down on the bed to leaf through it. What she saw was page after page of ink-and-watercolor drawings that convey, with simple lines yet telling detail, the brutality of Dachau, the Nazi concentration camp where her father spent the last weeks of World War II. Arrival, enslavement, torture, death - the 30 pictures expose the worsening nightmare through the artist's eye for the essential, and add graphic texture to the body of testimony by Holocaust survivors."

Details emerge in S.C. explosives case - Yahoo! News

It would be so easy to just let these young men just travel back to the Middle East to join the jihad for real. Then shoot them as they enter Iraq. I am sure the CIA can put a bug under their skin and trace them. That could be nice!

Details emerge in S.C. explosives case - Yahoo! News: "Megahed, 21, and Sherif Mohamed, 24, both students at the University of South Florida in Tampa, were indicted Aug. 31 on federal charges of transporting explosives across state lines. Mohamed also faces terrorism-related charges on suspicion of demonstrating how to use the explosives. They were arrested on state charges of possession of an explosive device after an Aug. 5 traffic stop in South Carolina. The state charge was dropped after the federal indictment."

Key anti-al-Qaida sheik slain in Iraq

I think it is safe to say that the terrorists who have been trying to reestablish their control are responsible for this. Why is the media afraid to say it? Is it because members of the Religion of Peace might then assassinate them, too? Cowards! Fight for freedom and kill the terrorists.

Key anti-al-Qaida sheik slain in Iraq - Yahoo! News: "The attack occurred one year after the goateed, charismatic, chain-smoking young sheik organized 25 Sunni Arab clans into an alliance against al-Qaida in Iraq, seeking to drive the terror movement from sanctuaries where it had flourished after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. No group claimed responsibility for the assassination, but it was widely assumed to have been carried out by al-Qaida, which already had killed four of Abu Risha's brothers and six other relatives for working with the U.S. military."

Murky raid heats up Syria-Israel tension

This still sounds like a recon raid to me. Just to verify the existence of the nuclear program. I do wonder what was found! I think the main reason for the, comparative, silence by Syria is that they have something they do not want to show the world. What could it be? I am going with missing Iraqi weapons programs. Anyone think I am wrong?

Murky raid heats up Syria-Israel tension - Yahoo! News: "Syria and Israel last turned their guns on each other in all-out war a quarter century ago, but tensions are sky high after a mysterious Israeli airstrike deep into Syrian territory last week.

America says the target was Iranian missiles, while others have raised questions of possible North Korean links. Israel, however, hasn't even acknowledged anything happened, and Syria has said very little beyond announcing the incursion and complaining to the United Nations.

Still, neither side appears eager for an escalation. Israel put its troops on high alert along the Golan Heights frontier and Syria discreetly called up some air defense reservists, but the crisis has seemed more a war of nerves than preparation for hostilities."

Muslim caught in park with AK-47 assault rifle

What a crock! Dressed in black with black face paint and an AK? But this is not a terrorist? What was he doing then? Send him to Gitmo and get the truth from him!

Jihad Watch: Dearborn, Michigan: Muslim caught in park with AK-47 assault rifle: "A third-year medical student -- which fact recalls the recent Doctors' Plot in the UK, and the news that came out at that time of large-scale attempts by jihadists to recruit doctors and other professionals.

Coverage is very sparse. Here is a story from the thrice-weekly Press & Guide, "Man with AK-47 assault rifle arrested after leaving Dearborn's Hemlock Park":

I do not think 350 troops will change the course of the battle on this scale.

The 'proxy war': UK troops are sent to Iranian border - Independent Online Edition > Middle East: "n signs of a fast-developing confrontation, the Iranians have threatened military action in response to attacks launched from Iraqi territory while the Pentagon has announced the building of a US base and fortified checkpoints at the frontier. The UK operation, in which up to 350 troops are involved, has come at the request of the Americans, who say that elements close to the Iranian regime have stepped up supplies of weapons to Shia militias in recent weeks in preparation for attacks inside Iraq."

Taliban Admit Defeat

About time! But will the Media pick up on this? I doubt it!

Afghanistan: Taliban Admit Defeat: "September 11, 2007: The Taliban offered to begin negotiating with the government. In Afghan parlance, that's the Taliban way of saying they are defeated and want to discuss peace terms. Over the past few months, Taliban attacks have become increasingly desperate, and bloody. But most of the dead have been Taliban. The only 'successful' attacks have been those using suicide bombers, and these kill mostly Afghan civilians."

The history of Islam vs America

WorldNetDaily: A 200-year-old lesson on 9/11: "With the 6th anniversary of 9/11 among us, as well as the imminent report on the status of the war from Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. troops in Iraq, America continues to face the fallout and frontlines of the war on terror.

Despite debates over the success of surges and the truths behind 9/11, one of the most significant deliberations remains how many Americans are still in denial about the depth and breadth of extremists' hatred for our nation, liberties and way of life. Do people really think ceasing a war in Iraq will quench their fire to destroy our country?

Radical Muslims' guile existed far before 9/11, and it will be there far after an Iraqi war. In fact, it was apparent from the beginning of our nation, as seen in the Barbary Powers Conflict, a confrontation between the five Barbary nations (Tripoli, Turkey, Tunis, Algiers and Morocco) and what they considered the "Christian nations" (England, Denmark, France, Spain and the new United States). "

Russians profit from oil prices

I thought it was Boosh and his cronies, eg Haliburton and Chaney, were the only ones profiting?

Procurement: Russians Buy Everything: "Russians Buy Everything September 8, 2007: Russia has put over three dozen new weapons systems into service this year. Some are long delayed Cold War era projects, that were revived in the last few years. Russian finances are in great shape because of the much higher prices for oil and natural gas. A lot of that money has been going into restoring the much diminished armed forces. The new weapons include weapons and equipment for all branches of the armed forces. Russia is striving to have a modernized military, for they could never afford to go back to the days of the Soviet Union (which dissolved in 1991), when the armed forces had five times as many troops (over five million) and dibs on over ten percent of the national GNP (no one is sure of the exact amount, as the communists were not big fans of accountants and accurate financial reporting.) Currently, Russia is playing by West European rules when it comes to military spending, meaning no more than three percent of GDP is going to the military. With a $1.7 trillion dollar economy, growing at 7 percent a year, the generals can expect a lot more cash to work with."

"Our followers 'must live in peace until strong enough to wage jihad'"

Why do the Leftists and Media ignore stories like this?

Jihad Watch: "Our followers 'must live in peace until strong enough to wage jihad'": "Let's hope. More on yesterday's story about Deobandi control of almost half of the mosques in the United Kingdom, by Andrew Norfolk for the Times Online:
One of the world’s most respected Deobandi scholars believes that aggressive military jihad should be waged by Muslims “to establish the supremacy of Islam” worldwide.
Justice Muhammad Taqi Usmani argues that Muslims should live peacefully in countries such as Britain, where they have the freedom to practise Islam, only until they gain enough power to engage in battle.
His views explode the myth that the creed of offensive, expansionist jihad represents a distortion of traditional Islamic thinking."

Marines trade bullets for compassion

WorldNetDaily: Marines trade bullets for compassion: "First Lt. Mauro Mujica is a true believer; you can tell by the intensity in his eyes. During his first tour in Ramadi, his platoon, 3rd Battalion 7th Marines, Lima Company, lost men. Mujica readily explains, 'We made a bunch of mistakes,' but quickly concedes, 'The circumstances demanded it.'
Cautious and wiser through experience, this Georgetown graduate, originally from Bethesda, Md., follows (as close as a Marine grunt can) Gandhi's philosophy of non-resistance. With fewer than a dozen Marines, Mujica presides over an Iraqi police station where his men are outnumbered 10 to 1, but that is only part of the strategy, showing their strength by allowing themselves to be vulnerable or rely upon local police forces. It's a psychological judo maneuver that has given the nascent Ramadi police force more confidence and bonded the Marines to their pupils/partner/protectors."

Switzerland: Europe's heart of darkness? - Independent Online Edition > Europe: "Switzerland is known as a haven of peace and neutrality. But today it is home to a new extremism that has alarmed the United Nations. Proposals for draconian new laws that target the country's immigrants have been condemned as unjust and racist.

Israeli troops invade southern Gaza

Israeli troops in southern Gaza - Yahoo! News: "Early Thursday, troops and vehicles crossed into Gaza in what the army called a routine operation against militants that involved shootouts and an airstrike.

The sides provided conflicting reports of the deadly gunbattle in the southern town of Khan Younis.

The army said troops inside Gaza opened fire at a group of militants who approached them, sparking an exchange of fire. Gaza's Hamas rulers said militants were targeted either by an Israeli tank shell or missile fire from the air. And Dr. Muawiya Hassanin of the Palestinian Health Ministry reported shrapnel wounds consistent with heavy artillery fire.

Ten militants were among the wounded, Hamas said."

US 'atrocities' in Iraq

This is a supposed list of US atrocities in Iraq. Watch it for your entertainment.

Syria misses Israeli surveillance aircraft

DEBKAfile - Syria accuses Israel of bombing unspecified targets. Israeli military spokesman: We are checking report: "The Syrian News Agency SANA says Syrian air defenses went into action when Israeli warplanes entered its air space from the Mediterranean Sea at dawn Thursday - heading northeast and breaking the sound barrier. Syria fire forced them to leave without causing casualties, says the report. Arab and European stations quote Syrian sources as accusing the Israeli air force of bombing empty areas. DEBKAfile: The Kamishli area mentioned in the report is where the Syrian, Turkish and Iraqi borders meet. The IDF spokesman say the incident is under investigation. A Syrian spokesman warned “the Zionist enemy against repeating aggressive action” and said his government reserved the right to respond.
DEBKAfile military sources speculate the Syrians may have referred to a possible Israeli surveillance flight which finding itself under fire may have dumped a fuel tank to gain speed; Damascus may be seeking to raise the military temperatures between the two countries for its own purposes, or fabricating a pretext to go on the offensive against Israeli targets on the Golan."

Iraq: The Facts On The Ground

Another excellent analysis of Iraq and how the US Leftists are ignoring the reality on the ground. Arm yourself with these facts and you can argue the Leftists into the ground where they belong.

Iraq: The Facts On The Ground: "The major problem in Iraq is back in the United States. There, many politicians either don't bother, or don't want to believe, what is actually happening, and has happened, in Iraq. In a way, that makes sense. Because what is going on in Iraq is so totally alien to the experience of American politicians. But many Americans take a purely partisan, party line, attitude towards Iraq. So logic and fact has nothing to do with their assessments of the situation.
The facts are these. Iraq is an ancient civilization that has been subjected to foreign occupation (Mongol, Iranian, Turkish, British) for the last thousand years. Iraq was put together by the British, in the 1920s, from fragments of recently dissolved Turkish Ottoman empire. The northern part of Iraq, containing mainly Kurds, was considered part of Turkey itself, and not an imperial province like the rest of Iraq. But there was oil up there, and the British did not want the Turks to have that, in case there was an effort to revive the Ottoman empire. The British set up a constitutional monarchy, complete with parliament, and royal family imported from Saudi Arabia (a noble family that had been ousted by the Sauds). While democracy was alien to this part of the world, many Iraqis took to it. But there were serious problems with corruption, tribal, ethnic and religi"

Informant reveals key terror role

The Muslim leaders in Canada are sure having fun condemning this poor guy for stopping the terrorists. I wonder whose side they are really on?

BBC NEWS | Americas | Informant reveals key terror role: "Muhammad Robert Heft, who runs P4E, a Toronto charity for Muslim converts, said: "I personally believe that Mubin Sheikh had good intentions and I personally believe he was trying to keep Canada safe.

"Had he really thought about it, and realised that the Muslim community is so sceptical of the intentions of people out there, he would have reconsidered and not taken the money in order to keep the Muslim community on his side." "

Weasel Zippers: Fatwa Forbids Marriage with Communists...: "My jaw just hit the floor, with my hatred of commies, here is a fatwa I can live by! Side note: Don't tell the Dhimmicrats about this, they would be crushed to find out their "allies" don't like them....

MALAPPURAM: The post-CPM State Conference political scene in Malappuram district is witnessing interesting turn of events. The most notable one, perhaps, from the IUML panchayat committee of Karuvarakkundu, near here.

The pamphlet titled `Malappurathinte Mannum Manassum' (The soil and soul of Malappuram) issued in connection with the IUML Karuvarakkundu Panchayat meet here, also directs the party workers that the body of a Muslim member, who dies as a communist, should not be allowed to be buried on the mosque premises."

State Department continues to support terrorists

lgf: State Department Perfidy on Display in HLF Trial: "After retiring from the State Department, former US diplomat Edward Abington took a job as a lobbyist for the PLO that paid $750,000 a year.

And that investment by terrorists continues to pay dividends; yesterday he testified on behalf of the Hamas-linked Holy Land Foundation: Former Ambassador Defends HLF.

A former U.S. diplomat spoke in glowing terms Tuesday about the Palestinian charities supported by the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF). Edward Abington, a former counsel general at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, was the first defense witness in the terror-support trial of the Richardson Tex.-based foundation and five of its former officers."

Saveing little girls from terrorists

FrontPage Magazine: "It was an anti-terrorism raid with a big difference.

Police in Bremen, Germany, raided an apartment recently not to arrest any terrorists but rather to prevent two of its occupants from being terrorized by another form of barbarism: female genital mutilation. In what has been described as “a first” by a German women’s organization, authorities in the northern, port city were able to intervene and thwart a planned, female circumcision of two girls aged one and four. The infants, taken into state care, were to have undergone the horrifying procedure in their 25-year-old mother’s native country of Gambia at a female circumcision ritual."

Bush Is Going To Blow Up The Bay Bridge Just Like He Did 880 In Oakland - Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views)

HAHAHAHAHAHA! This girl (?) is serious! Wow! What a nut case!

Bush Is Going To Blow Up The Bay Bridge Just Like He Did 880 In Oakland - Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views): "after looking around a bit and searching through some of her previous writing, I think Gypsy Taub (she's mentioned at USA Today here and is interviewed by Alex Jones, the same guy who regularly chats with Ron Paul, here) at Politics from the Heart was being completely serious when she wrote,

"Having been a 911 truth activist for 5 years, I have serious suspicions about the Bay Bridge being closed for entire 4 days.

There has been a lot of threats of terrorist attacks coming form the government. Looks like they are preparing the public. Or else it could be their usual scare tactics.

On the other hand, Bush’s term is coming to an end. The public is pushing to ban voting machines. The power of the Bush administration is deteriorating with major figures resigning, almost daily scandals on the news and constant threat of impeachment. Their only weapon is fear, it’s their last hope. I can see them really desperately needing a terrorist attack in the near future. 911 did them a great deal of good. 911 was, of course, the work of the Bush administration, the Pentagon, and others connected tightly to the Bush administration. Osama had no authority to put the US Airforce on stand down. He would have never been able to rig the World Trade Center with explosives...."

Religion of Peace Plotting in Denmark

lgf: Religion of Peace Plotting in Denmark: "Danish authorities have arrested eight Al Qaeda-connected Muslims planning a bomb attack, and the BBC seems to think Denmark is getting what they deserve.

Danish police have arrested eight people with alleged links to al-Qaeda on suspicion of planning a bomb attack.

The eight suspects arrested late on Monday in Copenhagen form part of a terror cell with links to a senior al-Qaeda figure, police said. The suspects, aged between 19 and 29, were of Afghan, Pakistani, Somali and Turkish origin, police said.

Denmark’s contribution to the US-led military campaign in Iraq has prompted fears that terrorists may target it. The country also drew anger from Muslims worldwide after a Danish newspaper last year printed cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad."

Democrats support Caliphate

The DNC is now openly supporting the establishment of a Caliphate to rule the world. The Leftists and Media are burying the story, but it is still getting out. How long will it take before Hillery is in a burka? Or Pat Schroder? This is what the DNC is advocating here! Will the NOW gals support this?

lgf: the fuad ramses of web design: "DNC Chairman Howard Dean spoke at the Islamic Society of North America conference yesterday; ISNA, of course, is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror trial, and is a front group of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, who make no secret that their goal is to establish Islamic rule over the world.

Dean told the audience that Muslims need to run for political office, because it’s the only way to achieve their goal. Dean tells Muslims: Run for political office.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told American Muslims gathered in Rosemont to think beyond voter registration drives.

“You need to run for political office,” Dean said Saturday. “The only way you can achieve your goals is to stand up and say who you are and be proud of it.”

Those in the packed house rose to their feet and applauded.

Dean was one of several prominent Democrats on Saturday to address the nation’s largest gathering of American Muslims. Republicans declined invitations, organizers said. ...

“Be heard. Don’t be silent. Tell it like it is,” said Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress. “If you don’t tell your story, someone else will. And you may be the villain in their story,” the Minnesota Democrat said.

Ellison, too, received a standing ovation. ..."

The Al-Durah Hoax

Much more to read about the Medias willfully slanderous lies about Israel and how they have incited murderous crowds of Palestinians into, well, murders. What is France 2 afraid of if they release the full film? Will it prove that they are part of the Pallywood slander machine? Why is the French government buying into the very suspicious behavior of an entity they are supporting and paying for? That is even more suspicious!

Collactive: GIYUS.org - The Al-Durah Hoax: "Western audiences viewed a 55 second video of the supposed “killing,” at the end of which news commentators dolefully announce the “death” of the boy. However, the footage actually continues for an additional 3 seconds—three seconds that television viewers were deprived of observing: First, two fingers appear in the viewfinder of the camera, briefly blocking out the image of the Al Durahs, after which the “dead” boy and his father reappear. Then, something extraordinary occurs: The boy raises his head and right leg, looks around furtively, replaces his head in the “dead” position but appears to have forgotten about his leg. He leaves it suspended in the air for the duration of the clip. http://www.seconddraft.org/new_aldurah/take6.wmv"

Hurriyet: Thank You Bush; Thank You Bernanke

The Turkish economy is booming, the Iraqi economy is booming, all being blamed on Bush? But in a good way! Too bad that the US is not doing that, too. The economists are mixed about what is happening and the Media and Leftists are all sounding the Doooooommmmm! alarm, despite the records being broken almost every week.

blog_turkey: "Hurriyet: Thank You Bush; Thank You Bernanke

Mainstream, top-seller Turkish daily Hurriyet’s economy report titled “Thank you Bush, Thank you Bernanke” said that these were the words being uttered these days by most analysts who attribute the upturn in financial markets to the sound policies of Bush and Bernanke. Analysts praise the recent statements by the U.S. president and the Feds and say, “If these U.S. policies continue, the Turkish markets will enjoy the positive effects and continue to attract foreign investments”.

36 church members disappear, 1 returns

Just what the world needs - the land where Jesus and his Apostles walked and talked is ging to be free of His disciples. The Muslim attacks against Jews and Christians are what started the First Crusade. I am glad that Christians do not defend themselves anymore so that the Muslims can avoid another Crusade.

WorldNetDaily: 36 church members disappear, 1 returns: "'In the past few months Christians have become a specific target,' he said. 'They have become targets of murder, kidnapping and torture. Sadly, there are multiple examples of this. Thirty-six of my own congregation have been kidnapped. To date, only one has been returned.' The reasons given for the attacks including not being Muslim, and belonging to a Western religion, even though that is not accurate, he said."

Christians threatened with death over 3 month period, general public indifferent

The article also says that Hindus and Sikhs are being threatened in this way. The Islamists want to wipe out all non-Muslims and the Muslims just don't care. Once again, this is just the Muslim world view. They need to dominate the world and slaughter all others they find. Just to appease Allah the merciful. Or bloodthirsty?

PAKISTAN Christians threatened with death over 3 month period, general public indifferent - Asia News: "For last three months religious minorities in Pakistan have been receiving death threats from Islamic fundamentalists “if they fail to convert to Islam”. The warning was reported by Minorities Concern of Pakistan, a human rights vigil group.

According to a statement from the group the threats to minorities (especially in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Punjab) “began in May last but the most recent episode dates to August 25th: Christians of Shantinagr, a Christian village in south Punjab, invited to convert or face death.”

The letter reads: “We have already sent you letter some times back but you did not follow our advice. We know, you have torn or burnt the letter. Through this action you have committed blasphemy so you are liable to death. We will only leave you alone if you will follow our demand otherwise you will be killed”. "

Al Qaeda Clerics Distributing Revised, More Violent Korans...

Thanks to ROP.

Weasel Zippers: Al Qaeda Clerics Distributing Revised, More Violent Korans...: "Is a revised Koran even necessary to justify violence? I thought the original was plenty...

ABU DHABI — Qatar has banned the import and distribution of unauthorized Korans.

Officials said the Islamic Affairs Ministry has ordered mosques and clerics to use only Korans and other Islamic text approved by the government, Middle East Newsline reported. They said Al Qaida-aligned clerics have employed Korans revised to promote the doctrine of Islamic war against the West.

Officials acknowledged that Korans revised by Al Qaida-aligned clerics have been distributed in Qatar. They said some of chapters in the Islamic text were removed. "

Soldiers evacuate babies from Israeli daycare centre as Islamic Jihad rockets fall

The Religion of Peace and Tolerance proves yet again how "peaceful" they truly are. Killing babies is a good way to prove how nice you can be.

Jihad Watch: Soldiers evacuate babies from Israeli daycare centre as Islamic Jihad rockets fall: "You'd think that those who ask the world to deplore Israeli attacks on civilians -- even if the evidence of such attacks weren't trumped up and media-generated -- would refrain from attacks on civilians themselves, but...no such luck. From the Daily Mail (thanks to Twostellas):
Soldiers scrambled to evacuate babies from a day care center in rocket-scarred Sderot today after a projectile fired by Palestinian militants thudded into the courtyard.
None of the 15 babies at the center was hurt. But frantic parents across the city - already furious over the government's failure to protect them and their children from the near-daily rocket fire - pulled their children out of schools on the second day of the academic year."

Bush Makes Surprise Visit to Iraq

This is excellent news! You know that the usual Secret Service advance team was almost invisible and unable to set up good security. You also know that the troops are ALL on full alert now! It is good to see the troops all work to make sure that any remaining terrorists get smashed flat. Not that they were slacking before, but now they have national honor to defend as well.

Just remember guys: Tango Down is like music to my ears! Play it often!

Bush Makes Surprise Visit to Iraq: "President Bush and his national security team made a first-hand assessment of the war in Iraq and prospects for political reconciliation Monday as a showdown nears with Congress over the U.S. troop buildup.

The president secretly flew 11 hours to this air base in a remote part of Anbar province, bypassing Baghdad in a symbolic expression of impatience with political paralysis in the nation's capital. The gesture underscored the U.S. belief that the spark for progress may come at the local level.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates arrived ahead of Bush and conferred with senior U.S. officials, including Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker, before a session with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, President Jalal Talabani, and other top Iraqi officials from Baghdad.

To a large degree, the setting was the message: Bringing al-Maliki, a Shiite, to the heart of mostly Sunni Anbar province was intended to show the administration's war critics that the beleaguered Iraqi leader is capable of reaching out to Sunnis, who ran the country for years under Saddam Hussein.

Terrorists ignite 'Fire Belt,' attack Israel

HA! "We are a brave new terrorist group and we can destroy a jeep! Beware our wrath!"
