2000 British Islamist terrorists

From AP:

The threat of homegrown terrorists attacking Britain is greater now than any time since the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States, a British Sunday newspaper reported, citing a leaked intelligence document.

More than 2,000 British-based Islamic terrorists are believed to be plotting attacks, according to a government threat assessment prepared this month, which The Sunday Telegraph said it had seen.

"The scale of al-Qaeda's ambitions towards attacking the UK and the number of UK extremists prepared to participate in attacks are even greater than we previously judged," the newspaper quoted the document as saying.

The newspaper said the document was being circulated between the Home Office, defense ministry, M15 intelligence agency and Scotland Yard's Anti-Terrorist Branch.

The Home Office declined to comment on the report, but said in a statement that security arrangements are under constant review.

But not to worry: 2000 is still only a tiny minority of all British Muslims, so all is well.

It is only permitted to make jokes about PUTATIVE flaws of the religion od peace. The real ones are taboo.

I am sorry! I'm really sorry! I'm deeply and seriously repentant.

Why?

It is, because I have called the Renish carnival a heathen spectacle where pissed-as-a-newt scum hits the streets (or something to the same effect).

I am sorry. I repent.

This year, the valiant carnivalists in city of Düsseldorf, one of the three strongholds of the Rhenish carnival (Cologne and Mainz being the others) where more than half a million people watched the traditional Rose Monday Parade with the themed wagons or floats, had included one, which carried two identical "mullah" figures, each wearing a suicide-bomber's belt and brandishing scimitar and gun. One was labelled "the cliché," the other one "the reality."

The messages of the floats have to be, naturally, succinct, and frankly, as much as I hate so say it, that's a seriously good one! Succinct, to the point, illustrative, illuminating.

Of course, Muslims were miffed.

License To Kill... Fun

The China Post [Beware: the link might try to resize your window].

Religious police in a Malaysian state plan to deploy spies working as waiters or janitors in hotels to stop activities the authorities consider immoral, including sex between unmarried people, a news report said Tuesday.

That's by far the biggest problem Islamic nations have: single people having way too much sex.

Rosol said the spies would largely look for unmarried couples committing "khalwat," or "close proximity," a crime under Islamic law in Malaysia akin to adultery. It applies to unchaperoned meetings between men and women.

Ah, clarity: they want gender apartheid.

Those found guilty of khalwat can be jailed for up to two months under Islamic laws, which do not apply to non-Muslims.

Malaysian Muslims must feel so lucky.

Congress: A Modern “Diet of Worms”

Guest Editorial by Edward Cline:

Revisiting after a long absence Victor Hugo’s verse play, Cromwell (1827), which was the opening shot against the tyranny of classicism in literature (the riot against the staging of his play, Hernani, occurred three years later), I encountered these lines:

“They’re willing to be crushed and wronged,
But by a Lord Protector, not a king.
As a plebeian tyrant, he was safe.”

And:

“That when a yoke bends Liberty’s bold brow
A tyrant is less burdensome when small.”

I have insisted for decades that when tyranny, or a dictatorship, arrived in America, it would not announce itself with anything so obvious as gangs of brown shirted thugs roaming the streets or mass deportations of dissenters, rebels, and recalcitrants to “reeducation camps.” Instead, tyranny, if not identified and opposed, would insinuate itself into American life in subtle, sly accretions which would, among other things, allow Americans time to inure themselves to it – after they had been persuaded it was for their own good.

From the time I first became conscious of politics and its effects on my personal life and the life of the nation, I observed an increasing multitude of statist phenomena daily, weekly, and yearly close in on the nation in a creeping, poisonous fog of death. That fog now envelopes the nation and threatens to suffocate the last of our liberties, one of which is the right to speak out against the perpetuation of our servitude or indenture.

For example, what has not yet arrested the attention of most of our clueless and ambivalent news media is Section 220 of the lobbying reform bill now sitting in the Senate, which would require “grassroots” organizations, bloggers, and individuals who communicate with 500 or more subscribers over the Internet (whether or not they are paying subscribers) to register and report quarterly to Congress, with penalties imposed for failing to register.

The bill has not alarmed most members of the news media, many of them with their own websites, for with very few exceptions, they uncritically (dare I say, religiously?) report government decisions, policies, and findings as though these were commandments of Moses.

The question to ask about this bill is: Why? What is its purpose? What could be the point of conceiving such an intrusive law – unless it was a cowardly move in the direction of censorship, and the censoring of thoughts and words that are feared? Is Congress setting itself up as an American Lord Chamberlain, that is, as a censor? Will the participants of a registered blog or organization or chat room be left “free” to say whatever they wish, so long as they agree with the Congressional consensus of the moment or don’t question that consensus in any important way?

And if the manqués charged with monitoring a registered blog, organization or chat room detect “threatening” or “treasonous” discussion and report it to Congress, will action be taken against those making the statements, such as a federal investigation, punitive tax treatment, or even imprisonment? Or will they merely be put on notice to “clean up their act” – or else?

Will blogs, organizations, chat rooms and discussion lists that refuse to register their existence with Congress – citing First Amendment protections, which include not only freedom of speech, but the right to peaceably assemble – be declared “outlaws,” and consequently risk physical compulsion by a Congressional counterpart of the DEA, INS or ATF, a gang of goons responsible for policing “illegal” or “unregulated” speech?

Watching Congress now as it works itself up into a lather to “get Bush” over the Iraq war and for simply not agreeing with the Democrats’ collectivist agenda – and I am no fan of George Bush – I was torn between two very appropriate nicknames for that less than august body: “Creature Feature,” after the name of an old late night television program that ran monster movies; and “A Diet of Worms,” after the congress of religious and political authorities called in 1521 in the town of Worms in Germany to decide the orthodoxy or heresy of Martin Luther. When Luther – also no favorite of mine – refused to recant his position, the Diet declared him a heretic and an “outlaw” and he was forced to go into hiding.

I have come down on the side of historical precedent: Congress is indeed a modern Diet of Worms – even though many in Congress are monsters, such as Dorian Grayish Senator Ted Kennedy – the “worms” being every member of Congress, Republican, Democrat, and middle-of-the-roader.

Why worms? While the U.S. is at present threatened within and without by Islamic conquest – by Iran with its growing nuclear threat, by a fifth column of sleeper cells and sleep-walking jihadists now in this country and who willy-nilly attack shopping malls and synagogues and even individuals – what is Congress proposing in answer to President Bush’s disastrous “war on terror”?

Basically, to cut and run. In a year, or two years, it matters little. Instead of proposing that Bush eliminate Iran’s capacity to strike at the U.S., instead of proposing that the FBI root out every Islamic enemy agent in this country, even if it meant closing down mosques and deporting the principals of organizations like CAIR or at least charging them with sedition – Congress is obsessed with obstructing Bush.

Such is the measure of its obsessional malice – or is it a psychosis? – that Congress is willing to jeopardize the security of this country to execute a repressed vendetta. Neither Harry Reid nor Nancy Pelosi nor Charles Murtha nor John McCain has asked Bush the question in Congress: “Why didn’t you ask us for a declaration of war? Because, Mr. President, we are indeed at war.” If Congress wants to find fault with Bush’s policies, that is what it should be focused on, his unconscionable adventure in altruism to spread “democracy” to Islamic pestholes.

But Bush and Iraq do not monopolize Congress’s obsession. The worms of our political oligarchy – and it is indeed an oligarchy of contemptible plebeians, supported and sustained by confiscatory taxes – also wish to “do good” by imposing more controls on the country and its citizens.

Its latest bugbear is “global warming.” There has been enough rational, objective discussion of the hoax of the threat of global warming and its alleged attribution to man’s “sin” of living on earth (e.g., “Global Hot Air,” Thomas Sowell’s excellent commentary on Town Hall’s site) that I waive remarks on it here. But one paragraph in Nick Provenzo’s commentary on Rule of Reason, “McCain and Lieberman: the Smoot & Hawley of our generation,” tickled my memory:

“OK, let me get this straight: McCain and Lieberman want to pass a law to let the free market forestall the alleged threat of global warming….But that is not what their bill actually does. McCain and Lieberman’s bill arbitrarily caps off American CO2 emissions at 2000 levels, forces companies to buy and sell the right to emit CO2 into the atmosphere, and treble fines those that exceed their emission caps. This isn’t the ‘free market’; it is the antithesis of the free market.”

One could dwell here on the observation that the entire population of the U.S. probably exhales more CO2 per minute than the whole industrial capacity of the country does in one year. What tickled my memory was Ayn Rand’s description of the creation of a new species Washington lobbyist as a consequence of Mr. Thompson’s Directive 10-289 (which “froze” the country’s economic life) in Atlas Shrugged: the “defreezers,” who, for a fee, bought and sold permissions and exemptions for their “clients.”

Of course, an altruist/collectivist measure such as Directive 10-289 or the McCain/Lieberman bill will always contain a loophole or two, the better to perpetuate the guilt of the victims and the corruption of the controllers: the only industries that will be able to take advantage of those CO2 emission permits will be those with political pull. Need I say more? Rand had these worms nailed over half a century ago.

One more obsession: Smoking and tobacco. On February 16th, the Wilmington Star (North Carolina) reported, under the headline “Congressional bill would let FDA regulate tobacco.”

“A bipartisan group of lawmakers reintroduced legislation Thursday that would give the FDA the same authority over cigarettes and other tobacco products that it already has over countless other consumer products.”

The bill, called the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, according to the article, was introduced by Senators Dorian Gray – excuse me, Ted Kennedy – John Cornyn of Texas, Henry Waxman of California, and Tom Davis of Virginia. Kennedy said, “Congress cannot in good conscience allow the federal agency most responsible for protecting the public health to remain powerless to deal with the enormous risk of tobacco, the most deadly of all consumer products.”

The “most deadly of all consumer products”? Last week it was sugar. And before that, trans fats. And before that, cholesterol. And before that, polluting SUV’s. And before that…? The list of the consumer products deemed “most dangerous” extends back decades and is complemented by thousands of pages of federal legislation. The products are indeed virtually “countless,” and account for all the mandated warning, nutritional, and ingredient labels one sees on them.

Was this a slip of Kennedy’s obscene tongue? No. If one wishes to understand why collectivist “lord protectors” such as Kennedy, Waxman, the Clintons, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid et al. never cease concocting ways to govern the lives of Americans and proposing that Americans foot the bill for diminishing their liberties, one must note that Kennedy expressed the quintessential premise of all such worms, that reality is dangerous – especially man-made reality – and only they know how to protect everyone from everything: by government force.

Our Congressional “worms,” like any other parasite, will attach themselves to any human value and feed on it to sustain their existence until that value perishes, then find another “host.” They have been sucking the life out of American freedom for a century and a half in the name of the “public health” or the “greater good” or other collectivist mantras. Altruism/collectivism is the only morality they wish to know, and force the only power they wish to exercise.

The Islamists are not the only power-lusting creatures who wish to subjugate Americans. While the principals of CAIR and the Muslim-American Council hope to someday to replace the Constitution with the Koran as the law of the land, I do not believe there is a single member of Congress who would object to replacing our adulterated and abridged Constitution with a socialist or communist manifesto. These small, safe, plebeian worms are in a state of denial about the war being waged against the U.S. and the West.

They are not interested in vanquishing this country’s enemies; they wish to vanquish America. They are beyond moral redemption and so far removed from the founding principles of this country -- and from the moral and intellectual stature of its Founders – that they are fit only for satire.

From their perspective, we are the worms, they own us, and we can be “crushed and wronged” without limit, consequence, or fear of retribution. It was a presumption that men rejected over two hundred and fifty years ago when they decided they had had enough of their small and burdensome tyrants, and threw off the yokes and shackles from their minds, necks and ankles. Will Americans ever again find the pride and moral mettle to emulate their forefathers?

I ask it now before I can be punished for posing the question, and this site closed down for having dared broadcast it.

UN says...WHAT, NO, NON, NYET, NEIN...Arab states seem to be arming and training Al Qaeda recruits..

Arab states trained Al-Qaeda men to fight in Somalia

MIDDLE EASTERN countries secretly armed and supported suspected Al-Qaeda recruits in the failed state of Somalia in a direct challenge to western interests in east Africa, according to a United Nations report.

Hundreds of Islamist fighters were flown, with Eritrean assistance, from Somalia to Syria and Libya for military training. Others were taken to Lebanon to fight with Hezbollah, the report to the UN security council has revealed.

UN investigators also detailed military aid given to the Islamists by Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Arab states friendly to the West. Iran also supplied 125 shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles, 80 of which arrived by sea in dhows and the rest by air.

A clandestine operation to smuggle the fighters out of Somalia began in July last year.

Imagine my freaking surprise.

Gee, I guess someone forgot to tell them that Sunni and Shia murderers are not allowed to work together to try and kill my family. Will someone please get the message out to these poor fellows?

The truth about the Empire State Building attacker

Ten years ago, a Muslim teacher in NYC named Ali Abu Kamal went up in the Empire State Building and opened fire with a gun there, murdering at least one person before killing himself. The MSM, however, wouldn't tell the whole story. Now, his daughter, who works in the UN, has admitted what was really the case (Hat tip: Little Green Footballs), though unfortunately, she upholds his act of murder before he committed suicide:

GAZA CITY - Ali Abu Kamal’s relatives say they are tired of lying about why the Palestinian opened fire on the observation deck of Empire State Building, killing a tourist and injuring six other people before committing suicide.

Kamal’s widow insisted after the shooting spree that the attack was not politically motivated. She said that her husband had become suicidal after losing $300,000 in a business venture.

But in a stunning admission, Kamal’s 48-year-old daughter Linda told the Daily News that her dad wanted to punish the U.S. for supporting Israel - and revealed her mom’s 1997 account was a cover story crafted by the Palestinian Authority.

“A Palestinian Authority official advised us to say the attack was not for political reasons because that would harm the peace agreement with Israel,” she told The News on Friday. “We didn’t know that he was martyred for patriotic motivations, so we repeated what we were told to do.”

But three days after the shootings, Kamal’s family got a copy of a letter that was found on his body, they said. The letter said he planned the violence as a political statement, his daughter said. “When we wanted to clarify that to the media, nobody listened to us,” she said. “His goal was patriotic. He wanted to take revenge from the Americans, the British, the French and the Israelis.”

She said the family became certain that he carried out the attack for political reasons after reading his diary. “He wrote that after he raised his children and made sure that his family was all right he decided to avenge in the highest building in America to make sure they get his message,” said Linda, who works for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

She said her mom burned the diary, fearing that it would cause the family trouble.

The little fiend of a "daughter" should be ashamed of herself for the way she's talking. That shows exactly why people like that don't deserve statehood.

Saudi ambassador: Wilders must apologize

Well, that was to be expected, I guess...

According to the Saudi newspaper Al-Watan, the Saudi ambassador to The Netherlands has demanded an apology from Wilders for the latters statements about the Quran and Mohammed.

Saudi ambassador Waleed al-Khareejy demanded Sunday
that a Dutch right-wing politician apologize and retract remarks made
last week and deemed insulting to Islam and its holy book.
A leader of the conservative Dutch Freedom Party, Geert Wilders,
had told the press that half of the Koran should be torn and thrown
away.

Wilders responded today that he will not even consider thinking about about offering an apology (NL).

'There is not an hair on my head [Dutch saying - KV] thinking about apologizing', the MP said. 'Have they gone completely mad? It is outrageous that a country without any freedom of opinion should lecture me. They should learn that as a parliamentarian one is able to say what one wants in the Netherlands'

Wilders will ask Foreign Minister Ben Bot in writing to set the Saudi ambassador straight and to teach him the fundamentals of parliamentary democracy.

Storm Track Infiltration: Institutional Jihad -'Halal-Only' School Lunches

The infiltration and domination of non-Muslim society continues with another example of Institutional Jihad.

Furious parents staged protests outside a school over its decision to serve up only halal meat at lunchtimes. Staff were forced to call the police after one father strode into the school in North London to challenge the new meals policy. Kingsgate Primary in West Hampstead is among growing numbers of schools with high Muslim populations to use halal-only meat in cooking. But the menus, which will feature only meat that has been slaughtered in the halal way with a single cut to the throat, have not always been well received.

At Kingsgate, parents carrying placards congregated at the school gates to demand a reversal of the policy, claiming their children would be denied a choice.

Choice? There’s no stinkin’ choice in Islam. Submit or die.

But the protests triggered claims of racism from parents of Muslim children, who make up three quarters of the school population.

When is this stupidity going to stop! MUSLIMS ARE NOT A RACE!!! When will our media, political leaders, institutions and organizations give a hearty ‘horse laugh’ and humiliate the fools who utter such nonsense?

Hillary Clinton Buying Black Vote for $200,000

(NewsMax) The press reported on Tuesday that Sen. Hillary Clinton had scored a coup in the presidential race by winning the endorsement of a key black political leader in South Carolina, state Sen. Darrell Jackson.

Now it has come to light that just days earlier, Clinton’s campaign reached a deal to pay Jackson’s consulting firm $10,000 a month through the 2008 elections – a deal worth more than $200,000.

"Jackson had also been in talks with Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign about endorsing him and entering into a consulting contract for more than $5,000, sources said – raising questions about whether Jackson’s endorsement was bought by a higher bidder,” the New York Post reported.

Jackson – who is also the minister of a large church in the state capital, Columbia – acknowledged that he should have revealed his financial dealings with the Clinton campaign when he and fellow state Sen. Robert Ford, who is also African-American, endorsed Clinton.

Where to begin with June...she's such a boggle of Rosa Luxembourg, and Mrs. Macbeth

As a REAL FDR, TRUMAN, HUMPHREY democrat, I have learned that to many of today's dem's schooled by people like this hate filled bag of 'estrogenic ahistoric america is evil by heritage of being begun by slave owning white men while ignoring 9 year old Aisha', regard people like me as no tonly spinels, but "spineless war criminals" was the direct quote of someone who claimed to be on Ted Kennedy's staff to me (about Joe Biden and Joe Lieberman).

Now as someone who both took part in many, and helped organize protests in 1969+ I have always found this kind of view odd to say the least. However it is iconic how how far around the bend the debate has gone, and should send a thrill of alarm through every American over non binding resolutions.

Here we have Ms. "June Scorza Terpstra", teaching academic at Loyola University, who, I have a feeling is not going to take back a word, apologize or enter some Foleyesque rehab for overwrought haters.

During a heated debate in a class I teach on social justice, several US Marines who had done tours in Iraq told me that they had "sacrificed" by “serving” in Iraq so that I could enjoy the freedom to teach in the USA. Parroting their master’s slogan about “fighting over there so we don’t have to fight over here,” these students proudly proclaimed that they terrorized and killed defenseless Iraqis. They intimated that their Arab victims are nothing more to them than collateral damage, incidental to their receipt of some money and an education.

The good news is that Mr. Arkin has suddenly become a centrist compared to this kind of idiot. The bad news is that Mr. Arkin has suddenly become a centrist compared to this kind of idiot.

I will ask again the question which assumes the worst.
What, Ms. Terpstra do you imagine went on on Saipan in 1944? On Edson's Bloody Ridge in 1942? In the Shenandoah Valley from 1862-65? During Grierson's Raid in 1862?

Storm Track Infiltration: Degree Granting Jihad U Right Here In The USA

FrontPage Magazine has an excellent article on the Al-Maghrib Institute and it’s goal of teaching Wahhabi extremism and Muslim Brotherhood activism into mosques and Muslim student groups throughout North America in at least thirteen cities. Hat tip to Michael.

The article is rather long but here are the most important highlights.

The staple of Al-Maghrib's course offerings are the double weekend seminars held at their permanent sites. In addition, the Al-Maghrib instructors are in high demand as motivational speakers at Muslim organization events all over the world. The Institute is also active amongst the 150 chapters of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) located at universities all over the US and Canada.

Did you catch that name? The Muslim Student Association. That Muslim student organization keeps coming up when attempts by Islamists are made to infiltration the colleges and curriculums of America. The MSA is one of the front groups operated by the international Muslim Brotherhood. The MSA is tasked with advancing the institutional jihad tactic of the Islamists. Al-Maghrib's Wahhabi-influenced extremism, rabid anti-Semitism and Holocaust denials, and militaristic preaching of jihad even have other Muslims expressing concern about their radicalizing preaching and programs.

But the Muslim Brotherhood influence is not the only troubling aspect to Al-Maghrib’s programs and message. In fact, all six of Al-Maghrib’s instructors have degrees from Saudi institutions controlled by the extremist Wahhabi sect.

Al-Maghrib's educational courses are accredited by the American Open University, which in turn is accredited by Al-Ahzar University in Cairo – the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the oldest and largest radical Islamic organization in the world. The courses offered by Al-Mahgrib count only as course credit for the AOU's Bachelors in Islamic Studies degree, the only English language program offered by AOU.

How nice - an accredited degree in Jihadism.

Iran answers U.S. Gulf buildup with test of SSN4 anti-ship missile

NICOSIA — Iran's military tested an anti-ship missile in the Gulf as a massive U.S. naval build-up is underway.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it fired missiles designed to destroy large enemy naval vessels. The missiles were identified as the SSN4

"These missiles, with a maximum range of 350 kilometers, can strike different kinds of large warships in all of the Persian Gulf, the entire Sea of Oman and north of the Indian Ocean," IRGC deputy naval commander Rear Adm. Ali Fadavi said on Feb. 8.

The missile firing took place during an IRGC missile exercise that ended on Feb. 8. The exercise included an air and naval segment.

Fadavi termed the SSN4 a strategic anti-ship cruise missile, saying it was capable of destroying Western cruisers. He said the SSN4, with a 500-kilogram warhead, could withstand electronic counter-measures.

The SSN4 cited by the IRGC differed from that of a Soviet-origin missile deployed in the 1960s. The Soviet system was a ballistic missile with a range of 550 kilometers and a payload of 1,370 kilograms that could be fired from submarines.

Iranian officials said exercises conducted over the past three months demonstrated the military's capability to strike any target in the Gulf region. They said the surface-to-surface missiles launched during the exercises demonstrated a precision-targeting capability.

"The entire Persian Gulf is within the guards' missile range and if foreign forces are to carry out any operations they are the ones to be most hurt," Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy commander Rear Adm. Mohammad Ebrahim Dehghani said. .

Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison called the cops on fellow Congressman Tom Tancredo for smoking a cigar

Well, well, well... Ellison just made a new friend... (H/T Neocon Express)

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) believes it is his right as a Muslim to be sworn into Congress with the Quran. But apparently, the freshman lawmaker doesn’t believe it’s Rep. Tom Tancredo’s (R-Colo.) right to smoke a cigar in his congressional office.



Ellison’s office called the Capitol Hill Police on Tancredo last Wednesday night as Tancredo was in his office smoking a cigar. The lawmakers have neighboring offices on the first floor of the Longworth House Office Building.

Tancredo was still stunned a day later. “It’s very bizarre,” said Tancredo, who has never met Ellison. “Seemed to me not a good way to say hello.”

And let’s face it. Calling the cops on a colleague takes the cake for the nerviest behavior so far among members of this year’s freshman class of Congress.

The Great Western Conspiracy

Reuters via Clarity and Resolve:

Two women slip into the polio vaccination centre at the Khyber Teaching Hospital in Peshawar, a baby hidden in a shawl. The women are scared and seem desperate to leave as soon as possible.

"My husband doesn't know we are here. He does not want his children immunised against polio, because he says this is a western conspiracy to force birth control in a hidden form on people. But I want my son to be safe," says Ajmeena Khan, 25.

Polio vaccination = Sterilization. This insanity permeates other areas as well. My experience:

One day, I overheard a conversation between my aunt and family. She had come back from a mosque. She told us about a foreign lady who had come to teach birth control to women near the mosque. She said that the Westerners were afraid of Muslims. This talk of birth control was a scheme by the Westerners to keep the number of Muslims low in the world. I knew that this statement wasn’t right but kept my mouth shut. By the way, this aunt had seven children. I am sure that Western lady must have been petrified with fear because of her.

When the West does something wrong, Muslims say, "Hey, what do you expect from the dirty kufaar?"

When the West does something right, Muslims say, "Don't be fooled! It's really a CONSPIRACY!"

You see, the infidels are incapable of doing good.

"A love for tradition has never weakened a nation; indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril." - Sir Winston Churchill

Posting to my blog every day for the last 10 months has taught me a lot about the challenges and threats we face as a society and our shared culture.
The journey I’ve taken has helped me understand what those challenges and threats are and I've attempted to frame them in a theme – a gathering storm - that would make sense to anyone who reads it.

As my understanding has matured reading hundreds of news items and blog postings a week I’ve come to the conclusion that if we are to win this threat of Islamism to our freedom loving culture, we have to come up with simple terms that explain to the majority of simple people who just don’t ‘get it’. And I’m not talking just about the far Left that hates anything and everything about America.

I’m talking about the common everyday person who doesn’t understand the conceptofIslamism, Islamists, Islamo-fascists, the confusing arguments about what Islam is and what it isn’t coming from all sides of the debate, and who can’t seem to fathom the deliberate concealment of the Islamist threat by the main stream media at worst or through its self-censorship at best.

After 9-11, there is one threat that every freedom loving person, non-Muslim and Muslim alike, on this planet understands and even the main stream media could not deny.

JIHADISM!!

All other words and concepts are too complex, confusing, even too deep for the common everyday person to understand and who we need to recruit to the fight. Jihadism is what people fear. Jihadism is understood to be the enemy. Jihadism is what needs to be defeated. One can begin any discussion from couch potatoes to intellectuals and start from an agreement of the common enemy – jihadists or commonly called terrorists.

So how does one proceed from there convincing the unaware that violet or militant Jihad or terrorism, who they agree is the enemy, is but one small part of a greater strategy? The unaware and misinformed do understand the general goal of the Jihadists. It’s no secret. The Jihadists have told us time and time again and have made it quite clear in the media, demonstrations and in their mosques. They wish to bring about a world dominated by Islam and ruled by Shariah law.

Silencing opposition in The Netherlands

Yesterday during a debate initiated by Geert Wilder's Freedom Party (PVV) on loyalty of Dutch citizens a reference was made to the double loyalty of two soon to be Deputy Ministers.

These Deputy-Ministers are: Achmed Aboutaleb and Nebahat Albayrak. A Morroccan and a Turk. Both are Labour politicians and both delivered considerable block votes to their parties. Both are legally Dutch citizens. The Netherlands, like almost any Western country hands out citizensship in the way old ladies hand-out candy: with both hands.

Both are also legally citizens of their respective countries of origin. MORE

Last time I checked Ms Pelosi lacked executive authority to ride a plane that says USAF on the side

There is some document or other which details the structure of the US govt.

I seem to remember some guys named Madison, Adams, Monroe, Hamilton working on it, and sending it off for review to a guy named Jefferson who added 10 more items. Presumably the other guy in Paris, Franklin, took a look and had some ideas. We can thus assume some people who had some pretty good experience in ruling, crisis management, government, freedoms and their protections, and individual rights came up with some thoughts.

Most of these thoughts have both signified, and served.

We've done all right.

It's not luck.

Thus we come to this:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that President Bush lacks the authority to invade Iran without specific approval from Congress, a fresh challenge to the commander in chief on the eve of a symbolic vote critical of his troop buildup in Iraq.

Pelosi, D-Calif., noted that Bush consistently said he supports a diplomatic resolution to differences with Iran "and I take him at his word."

At the same time, she said, "I do believe that Congress should assert itself, though, and make it very clear that there is no previous authority for the president, any president, to go into Iran."

Completely wrong and any president should challenge this as a CONFRONTATION.

Worse is Murtha who is proposing that congress pass legislation mandating where troops go and how long they can go there.

Words and actions by both individuals are designed to USURP the executive authority of the president as mandated by the Constitution.

Intolerable for ANY president, and blatantly unconstitutional.

Frankly, I would PREFER to see a declaration of war, and a congressional vote if not, but one should not mistake the lack of these actions for what the Constitution says about who is the Commander in Chief. Worse still, the President has brought this low state of affairs on himself by not holding people like Franks and Rumsfeld to the same level of responsibility that Lincoln held Mclellan, and Pope, and Burnside, and Halleck, and Fremont as both a military leader AND a politician (including premature emancipation), just to name a few.

Hamas/Fatah disagreements take place again

I thought it could happen:

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh Thursday in a bid to resolve the political crisis in the Palestinian Authority. Abbas will deliver to Haniyeh the letter of appointment for the establishment of the coalition government.

The Palestinian unity government deal reached in Mecca between Hamas and Fatah was thrown into question Wednesday night when Abbas canceled the Thursday speech in which he intended to present the deal to the Palestinian people.

Abbas also called off a Thursday visit to the Gaza Strip, where he was slated to deliver to Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh the letter of appointment for the establishment of the coalition government.

Palestinian sources said the crisis broke out due in part to disagreements over the Interior Ministry portfolio. According to the sources, the conflict primarily resulted from disagreement over appointments.

Haniyeh was supposed to serve his resignation Thursday immediately after Abbas' speech. Now, however, Haniyeh has delayed his resignation.

Hamas officials claimed the delay was due to technical problems, but Fatah representatives said it was because Hamas introduced conditions which contradicted the Mecca agreement.

Haniyeh won't resign. Not by a longshot. He'll keep on leading the Hamas itself in one way or another, for as long as he's in existence.

Storm Track Infiltration: Muslim Student Associations Gradually Introduce Shria Law

The following is posted on behalf of WC, who can no longer post here because of Blogger's glitches:

The Institutional jihad continues and the poor little dhimmis in the non-Muslim world haven’t a clue as to what happening to them, their institutions and their society. All you need is to have an Islamic student association on your campus and you let the camel’s nose of Sharia law into the tent.

Here’s another example of the jihads in their bag of stealth tactics. From the Islamic Threat blog.

All you need is a Muslim Student association on your campus and the demands for a change in 'non-Islamic' curriculum starts to appear. This is a lesson that a Canadian university has learned. Muslim Student Associations are implanted in campuses and their aim is to radicalize Muslim students who do not understand Sharia. The larger goal being making Sharia a part of everyday life in the western world. If you look at it in any other way then you are very mistaken.

This from The Gazette, a student campus newspaper in Canada.

A recent decision by Western’s visual arts department has left some Muslim students torn between their love for drawing and painting and their devotion to Islam. After making accommodations for students for several years, the visual arts department added a note to the bottom of nine course descriptions effective Sept. 1, 2005, indicating “some sessions may involve drawing from the nude (female or male) as a required component of the course.” Though the note was added a year and a half ago, some students are just starting to feel its effects and voice their concerns.

And what are the concerns?

Permanent Conflict: The True Path

Black Lion quotes the Quran:

And never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you until you follow their way. 2:120.

And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion. 2:217.

Then he offers this brilliant analysis:

What these verses mean is that if the kaffir society is pleased with us, then we’re neglecting something or doing something wrong. So, if our efforts to blend in are successful, we have left our way and our religion.

Thus, the title of this post.

No Road Signs For Terrorists

What? Demonstration
Where? Charlotte County Courthouse
When? February 20, 2007 @ 6:00 P.M.

So what is this demonstration all about?

Charlotte County, Virginia has named a road sign after Sheikh Gilani. Lots of information about Sheikh Gilani can be found HERE. Excerpt about Sheikh Gilani, from this source:

Gilani, the founder of the terrorist organization Jamaat ul Fuqra, has rubbed shoulders with various members of the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, their mullah backers, and even Osama bin Laden himself. He has trained fighters for the battlefields of Kashmir, Chechnya, and Bosnia. Gilani was in Pakistani custody for the abduction of US journalist Daniel Pearl, but has since been released. Official sources in Pakistan have indicated that Daniel Pearl was attempting to meet Gilani in the days before he disappeared in Karachi. Pakistani police arrested Gilani in Rawalpindi on January 30, 2002 and shifted him to Karachi for questioning. Although he denied any link to the abduction, police also detained several of his colleagues. Consequent to his arrest, he reportedly told his interrogators that he had links with the Pakistani intelligence agencies.

You Are My Friend, And You Are A Decent Muslim, Come To America And Prosper

Posted on behalf of Pastorius, who cannot, at the moment, access Blogger to post here at IBA:

"I am so ashamed, as a muslim man, I am tired of the pain in this world, I live in London and I envy the American's. I live amongst animals..we all hate Jews because they know love and peace, they kow medicine, and art...we know pain and destruction...and our hosts, the British are too stupid to see this. The British and their BBC happily feed Anti Semitism to make me feel good about myself, forget it, and realize, the JEWS are good for this earth, until we make a commitment to be a positive force in the world, and stop celebrating every murder on behalf of Allah, until this point of progress, we are doomed!!!"

Here is Pastorius's response:

Anonymous,

Don't just be ashamed.

Be proud that you are a good man.

And, maybe, you ought to move to America, open a business, and contribute to society. There are opportunities here in America that just don't exists in other parts of the world.

Don't get me wrong, we have plenty of anti-Semites here too, and many of them happen to be Muslims. And, most of our Mosques are Saudi-funded, but I think there is a real opportunity for growth here that I don't see anywhere else.

Ma'alot, Beslan, Your Town

Is America the world's greatest terrorist? Do we kill more children every day than all the murders of history combined? The Death Hippies would have us think so. So, what do we do? What voice do we hear, and who calls?

Last day a Muslim shot to death six peaceful shoppers in store in Utah. Civilians died because they were alive. You cannot hide from Islam. It will come at random and kill because it is a sickness. You cannot know. You can only know that doing nothing is a sickness worse than death.

Suicide attack planned on Wilders

From Expatica, with thanks to Fjordman, who keeps an eye on the international reporting on Dutch affairs. Something we at KV should be doing a lot more, instead of relying on internal MSM reporting. Because this bit of news should have made headlines in the Netherlands, but didn't. Not by a long shot. One wonders why not...

MP Geert Wilders was threatened with a suicide attack last week. Two young men reportedly planned to shoot the politician down and detonate a van full of explosives next to the politician. “Many innocent people were to die in the chaos.”

This has emerged from the report Wilders filed with the Haaglanden police. A warning of the attack planned for either The Hague or Amsterdam came via the anonymous hotline for crime tips. A similar, but less detailed, death threat came in via the hotline this week. It is unusual for this hotline to be used to announce death threats.

The initial, very concrete warning spoke about an attack planned for early February. Wilders would first be shot, and then a man would drive a white delivery van into the victim and detonate the 500 to 600 kilos of explosives in the vehicle.

[...]

The person who called the hotline said that the perpetrators were not fundamentalists, but “just wanted revenge.”

Well, that's okay then. Just as long as they're not fundamentalist. Because that would be, eehm... awkward?

Anyway, this news comes hot on the heels of an interview that Wilders gave yesterday, in which he doesn't exactly mince words viz-a-vis and apropos of (small Thin Blue Line reference) the Religion of Peace(tm). See also Isaac Schrödingers post below.

According to Wilders, Islam is a violent religion. "If Mohammed lived here today, I would propose tarring and feathering and hunting him out of the country as an extremist. (...) If Muslims want to stay here, they must tear up and throw away half the Koran. They must not listen to their Imam. I have read the Koran. (...) And I know that there are enough terrible things in it. If Muslims do assimilate, they are fully-fledged citizens, not a millimetre less valuable than you or I."

Wilders believes his new PVV party - it obtained 9 Lower House seats in November - can grow into "one of the biggest parties" in parliament. "Other parties avoid the themes that threaten us in our existence. Everything we are proud of, we sell to the devil. (...) You feel that you are no longer living in your own country."

On his thoughts about Israel:

The only criticism he has of the country is that "I find Israel sometimes listens to Europe too much. It should have intervened in Lebanon much earlier. I am more inclined to consider that Israel does not go far enough than that it goes too far."

A Gathering Of Eagles

1000 Hours, March 17, 2007

Viet Nam Memorial Wall

Washington, D.C.

From this source:

The anti-war/anti-America groups are planning a “march to the Pentagon” on March 17, 2007…this group has intentions that defenders of freedom cannot overlook or allow to occur…there must be a challenge.

Here’s a portion from the “anti-war” web site March 17 — March on Pentagon!: Time to Turn Up the Heat! that causes considerable concern: “The biggest single group of new volunteers and activists are soldiers and marines who have returned from Iraq. Their family members and other veterans are also organizing to March on the Pentagon. The opening rally will assemble at the Vietnam Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at noon.”

The anti-war/anti-America group cannot be allowed to use the Viet Nam Memorial Wall as a back-drop to their anti-America venom and stain the hallowed ground that virtually cries out with blood at the thought of this proposed desecration….it must not happen.

Many are encouraging a ”Gathering of Eagles” (symbolic of our freedom) at the Viet Nam Memorial Wall on March 17, 2007, as a signal that a segment of America does not agree with the “anti-war/anti-America” rally on the same day. As noted above, the anti-war/anti-America crowd is publishing intention to use the Viet Nam Memorial as a backdrop to their rally………..this cannot happen……..it cannot go unchallenged.

Based on the input received, here is what is suggested as a means to identify those of us attending/visiting the Viet Nam Memorial wall and other Memorials on March 17, 2007 opposing the anti-war distortions.

We want to send a different message than the “anti-war/anti-America” surrender crowd, so we should be clearly set apart from them.

Wear a Red Armband on the right arm (Red often symbolizes/represents courage, revolution, hardiness, blood, and/or valor) . If red is not your color, choose another, but wear an “armband”.

On the armband each person should print something, e.g. WWII, Korea, Nam, Iraq, spouse, widow, POW, Vet, Legion, patriot, citizen, etc., or other respectful phrase one wants to help us identify one another.

We need to remember all American’s are invited to support our effort which is intended as a defender of hallowed ground and intended as a non-violent competition between those that would sell out America and those of us who support freedom and keeping the fight with the enemy on distant shores.

At this time we have visitors/supporters coming from North, South, East, and West to include Hawaii….. “Rolling Thunder” will also visit Washington, D.C on March 17 in support of “Gathering of Eagles”.

Many of us will be wearing favorite caps, shirts, jackets, jungle fatigues, desert dress, medals, etc. to include the Red Armband or another color if desired……….it will be a grand reunion, a time of new friendships, which will also, God willing, rekindle a new light of American patriotism which would filter down the mall toward the Capitol of the United States…..maybe even the main stream media (MSM)

…..obviously more detail is needed which will come as we draw nearer…look at the web sites, live blog in the near future.

We know some of the, who, what, when, why, where, …….it’s up to each of us to supply the “how”.

More details at the web site for A Gathering of Eagles.

Car bomb in Iran 'kills 11 people'

(BBC) Eleven people have been killed in a bomb blast near a bus in city of Zahedan in south-eastern Iran, the official Irna news agency has reported.

The bomb, hidden in a car, targeted members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, the agency said, although it is unclear if all the dead belonged to the guard.

Peters is always interesting, but dead wrong..we have as much to worry about from hillbilly Persians as did Miltiades

Over here Ralph Peters does away with Islam and puts the decal on the multiple faces of the struggles within the struggle of cultural religions of jahiliac dimension.

In essence he relegates Shiism to a heretic zoroastered version of Islam, which btw actually is a product of the persian hillbillies...No doubt the Achaemenids spinning in the graves somewhere have an alternate view.
1) I have a feeling that's a hard sell to many Shia
2) It's STILL the jooz fault anyway

Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here, obedient to their laws, we lie

No doubt some folks like Crassus, Caesar, Callimachus, Miltiades, Leonidas, Themistocles, and Pausanias might have a different view of the historic and cultural dimension of dealing with the Persians.

Peters' article is worth a read but he is as far off the rails as the excellent Stephen Schwartz (who not so bizarrely, once you know his personal history, waxes gentle over the guy who gently came back to persia in 1979) with regard to Shia Islam.

Is there a cultural gap between the Arabs and the Persians, and the Mesopotamians? Sure.

But it doesn't explain all history there, Ali, or Husayn. Or why a racist, genocidal clearly uncontrollable antisemitism has infected the descendants of a man who FREED the jews from the first disapora, and who now govern a nascent nuclear power, whose deterrability is at best, QUESTIONABLE

But here is where Peters in most wrong... his attempt to inoculate his own opinion from rejection..

Many will reflexively reject this interpretation of Shi'ism and Sunni Islam as two separate faiths with profoundly different inheritances. Blog Bedouins and "scholars" alike will feel threatened. That's part of our problem: We're often as close-minded as our enemies. The greatest power in history thinks small.

Dutch Trojan: Achmed Aboutaleb

The new cabinet for the Balkenende government has become public. Contrary to what I wrote previously Achmed Aboutaleb, the focus of the Muslim voting block that is becoming increasingly powerful in urban zones of The Netherlands, was not made a Minister. Instead he will be a Deputy Minister ("Staatssecretaris") of Social Services under Minister Donner. Piet-Hein Donner is the former Justice Minister, made infamous by his remark that Sharia could become Dutch law through the democratic process. MORE

Al-Sadr fled Iraq for Iran

It appears he doesn't trust Allah with his life when it comes to dealing with Big Satan.

(AP) Anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr fled Iraq for Iran ahead of a security crackdown in Baghdad and the arrival of 21,500 U.S. troops sent by President Bush to quell sectarian violence, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday.

Al-Sadr left his Baghdad stronghold some weeks ago, the official said, and is believed to be in Tehran, where he has family. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss U.S. monitoring activities, said fractures in al-Sadr's political and militia operations may be part of the reason for his departure. The move is not believed to be permanent, the official said.

Word of al-Sadr's departure coincides with an announcement that Iraq will close its borders with Iran and Syria for 72 hours as part of the drive to end the violence that has threatened to divide the capital along sectarian lines. [...]

Do Jews humiliate Muslims everywhere?

It appears so. From the Middle East to South Asia. From Egypt to Pakistan.

That's right, a Jewish general led Indian army to victory in 1971 war against Pakistan.

In the annals of modern warfare, the 1971 war between India and Pakistan is regarded as a template of brilliance. Within 13 days, the Indian army routed Pakistan in one of the swiftest campaigns of the 20th century.

Occasionally compared to Israel’s victory in the 1967 Six Day War, and studied at military academies as a textbook example of efficient planning, the Indo-Pakistan war gave rise to a new state, Bangladesh, and established India as a regional superpower.

The major general who masterminded and spearheaded India’s offensive, and who accepted Pakistan’s surrender, was Jack Frederick Ralph Jacob, the scion of an old Jewish family from Calcutta.

Behold!

The gutsiest politician in the world:

Wilders said: "If Mohammed lived here today, I would propose he be tarred and feathered as an extremist and driven out of the country." He also stated: "Everything we are proud of, we are selling to the devil. Former head of the Mossad Efraim Halevy says that World War III has begun. I would not use those words, but it's true."

We'll be a lot closer to ending this war when leaders of free nations start using similar rhetoric to describe the bringer of misery Islam.

Muslim Terrorists Planning Mass-Murder At America's Schools

From Family Security Matters:


For all you parents and grandparents who still don’t think controlling our borders and knowing who is in our country is important, you might want to check out Mass Slaughter in Our Public Schools: - The Terrorists' Chilling Plan. Reporting on an anti-terrorism conference he’d recently attended, Chuck Remsberg, Senior PoliceOne Contributor, had this to say:

“….according to two trainers at an anti-terrorism conference on the East Coast, preparations for attacks on American schools that will bring rivers of bloodand staggering body counts are well under way in Islamic terrorist camps.

· The intended attackers have bluntly warned us they're going to do it.

· They're already begun testing school-related targets here.

· They've given us a catastrophic model to train against, which we've largely ignored and from which they have learned more deadly tactics.

We don't know for sure what they will do. No one knows the future. But by definition, a successful attack is one we are not ready for," declared one of the instructors, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman. Our schools fit that description to a "T"-as in Terrorism and Threat.

Should we be surprised? Not when Al-Qaeda has publicly asserted the "right" to kill 2,000,000 American children, Rassa explained, and has warned that "operations are in stages of preparation" now. Rassa played videotapes confiscated in Afghanistan, showing al-Qaeda terrorists practicing the takeover of a school. The trainees issue commands in English, rehearse separating youngsters into manageable groups and meeting any resistance with violence. Some "hostages" are taken to the rooftop, dangled over the edge, then "shot."

"Any place that has given [Islamic terrorists] trouble, they've come after the kids," Grossman said. Muslim religious literature, according to Rassa, states clearly that the killing of children not only is "permitted" in Islam but is "approved" by Mohammed, so long as the perpetrators "are striving for the general good" as interpreted by that religion.

He cited actual recent instances in Indonesia where girls on their way to school have been beheaded and in other countries where children have been shot, mutilated, raped or burned alive.

In this country this year ['06], Rassa said, there have been several school bus-related incidents involving Middle Eastern males that raise suspicion of terrorist activity. These include the surprise boarding of a school bus in Florida by two men in trench coats, who may have been on a canvassing mission, and the attempt in New York State by an Arab male to obtain a job as a school bus driver using fraudulent Social Security documents. The latter gave an address in Detroit, home to a large colony of fundamentalist Muslims.

Rassa stated that floor plans for half a dozen schools in Virginia, Texas and New Jersey have been recovered from terrorist hands in Iraq.

Teen shooter in Salt Lake was Bosnian Muslim

When I first saw the name in the AP coverage of the gunman at a Salt Lake City shopping mall, which is Sulejman Talovic, I certainly had to wonder about the first name. Now, thanks to the Salt Lake Tribune I was shocked to find out, that it looks like the killer was:

The 18-year-old man who shot and killed at least five people Monday night at Trolley Square has been identified as Sulejmen Talovic, a Bosnian refugee who lived in Salt Lake City.

Little additional information was released about Talovic.

The Bosnian community, which numbers about 3,000 in Utah, planned a news conference later this afternoon.

Talovic parked his car in the west parking lot and walked into the mall, encountering two people, whom he shot. Then he walked further into the mall and shot a woman, said Police Chief Chris Burbank.

He then walked to a gift shop and shot five people. He shot several other people before he was gunned down by an off-duty Ogden police officer assisted by four Salt Lake City police officers, Burbank said.

He had a backpack that carried numerous rounds of ammunition as well as a .38-caliber handgun, said the chief.

Police have no motive in the killing.

Perhaps they might want to check into his religious educational background?

Update: The Islamic Threat has more.

Deconstructionism In Action: Obama "Restructures" Remarks On Dead Soldiers

Not "retracts" and or regrets, but RESTRUCTURES!?!?

This is Deconstructionism in action. The text is not the authority, it is only a referent. The text is only the beginning of the project of the construction of meaning. The text becomes the work of everyone who reads it. In other words, meaning is a construct of consensus, not of words themselves. There is no real meaning to the text, in and of itself.

There is no authority of idea. There are only opinions about the idea.

There is no meaning to a group of words. There is only spin.

In this case, the news media, and Obama's handlers and fans have decided Obama "mispoke", and thus, as a group, we are all participating in the restructuring of Obama's words.

This is RIDICULOUS pro obama spin. At the end, he says he misspoke - LIKE DICK DURBIN!

Obama Restructures a Remark on Deaths
By THE NEW YORK TIMES

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/13/us/politics/13obama.html?pagewanted=print
DURHAM, N.H., Feb. 12 — Senator Barack Obama of Illinois said Monday that he had misspoken when he suggested that the lives of more than 3,000 American soldiers killed in Iraq had been “wasted.”

As he arrived in New Hampshire, Mr. Obama said he would “absolutely apologize” to military families if they were offended by a remark he made in Iowa while criticizing the Bush administration’s Iraq policy.

“What I would say — and meant to say — is that their service hasn’t been honored,” Mr. Obama told reporters in Nashua, N.H., “because our civilian strategy has not honored their courage and bravery, and we have put them in a situation in which it is hard for them to succeed.”

A New Hampshire reporter asked Mr. Obama whether he regretted the remark, made at a rally on Sunday that “we ended up launching a war that should have never been authorized and should have never been waged, and to which we now have spent $400 billion and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted.”

“Even as I said it,” Mr. Obama said Monday, “I realized I had misspoken.”

Storm Track Intimidation: Muslim Women Confront Quebec Town

The storm of controversy raised by a small village in Quebec (which recently announced a “code of life,” that lays out societal norms for Herouxville, 165 kilometers northeast of Montreal ) has a new aspect it to it.

Muslims are validating the need for it.

The declaration, passed by the town council last month, says a person’s face should not be covered, except at Halloween, and that children should sing Christmas songs in December. It warns would-be immigrants that women can vote, drive and dance if they choose. It says adults can drink alcohol and children cannot bring weapons, religiously symbolic or not, to school despite a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that has already upheld that right for Sikh Canadians.

And of course, the first protesters out of the box were religious minorities. One such minority has sensitivities were ruffled are – surprise, surprise – Muslims.

Clad in traditional Islamic head scarves, a delegation of Muslim women paid a visit Sunday to the Quebec town that passed a controversial code aimed at potential immigrants…….

Although the list has no legal weight, it clearly targets religious minorities, said May Haidar, one of the women who made the journey to the community of 1,300 on Sunday afternoon. “We’re disappointed by this `code of life,”’ Haidar said. “It’s apparent there is a misconception and a wrong view of Muslim women, so we want to open a dialogue to let them know us and, of course, we want to know them.”

First of all, the “code’ does not make specific reference to any religion or ethnic groups. It’s a common sense declaration of the values of the community. Second of all, why would nay group call attention to itself protesting a negative? Doesn’t that group have something to be concerned about? By saying it opposes a decent set of Western values prove that the group itself endorses that which the “code” tries to prevent? What kind of “dialogue” do these Muslim women want to have? That they support their oppression which the “code’ clearly is against?

Has anything good ever come from Austria?

They first gave us Adolf Hitler, then allied with the Nazis. Then refused to join NATO. Now they supply the Iranians with weapons to kill our soldiers. And we do nothing about it..

Iraqi Insurgents using Austrian Sniper Rifles from Iran
By Thomas Harding, Defence Correspondent UK Telegraph
Last Updated: 11:55am GMT 13/02/2007

Austrian sniper rifles that were exported to Iran have been discovered in the hands of Iraqi terrorists, The Daily Telegraph has learned. More than 100 of the.50 calibre weapons, capable of penetrating body armour, have been discovered by American troops during raids. The Steyr HS50 is a long range, high precision rifle. The guns were part of a shipment of 800 rifles that the Austrian company, Steyr-Mannlicher, exported legally to Iran last year. The sale was condemned in Washington and London because officials were worried that the weapons would be used by insurgents against British and American troops. Within 45 days of the first HS50 Steyr Mannlicher rifles arriving in Iran, an American officer in an armoured vehicle was shot dead by an Iraqi insurgent using the weapon.

Over the last six months American forces have found small caches of the £10,000 rifles but in the last 24 hours a raid in Baghdad brought the total to more than 100, US defence sources reported. The find is the latest in a series of discoveries that indicate that Teheran is providing support to Iraq's Shia insurgents. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, yesterday denied that Iran had supplied weapons to Iraqi insurgents. But on Sunday US officials in Baghdad displayed a range of weapons they claimed had originated in Iran. They said 170 American and British soldiers had been killed by such weapons. The discovery of the sniper rifles will further encourage those in Washington who want to see Iran's uranium-enriching facilities destroyed before a nuclear weapon is produced. The Foreign Office expressed "serious concerns" over the sale of the rifles last year and Britain protested to the Austrian government. A Foreign Office spokesman said last night: "Although we did make our worries known the sale unfortunately went ahead and now the potential that these weapons could fall into the wrong hands appears to have happened."The rifle can pierce all body armour from up to a mile and penetrate armoured Humvee troop carriers. It is highly accurate and fires a round called an armour piercing incendiary, a bullet that the Iranians manufacture. The National Iranian Police Organisation bought the rifles allegedly to use them against drug smugglers in an £8 million order placed with Steyr in 2005. The company was given permission to export them by the Austrian government, which is not a Nato member.

Dutch comedian seeks cover

According to newpaper Metro (paper version, Februari 5th, page 13) Comedian Ewout Jansen has left The Netherlands and handed over all press contacts to fellow comedian Theo Maassen. MORE..

This story is being played down at the moment and hardly reported anymore in the Dutch press. The Amsterdam Muslim politician Achmed Aboutaleb immediately tried to surpress this story when it appeared. Because it is potent. Apparently the press agreed and more or less decided to stop publishing on it after Februari 6.

WIth the logical force of the ditzy, and armed might of the Grand Duchy of Fenwick

In an admission of the international community’s failure to hold back Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the document – compiled by the staff of Javier Solana, EU foreign policy chief – says the atomic programme has been delayed only by technical limitations rather than diplomatic pressure. “Attempts to engage the Iranian administration in a negotiating process have not so far succeeded,” it states.

Iran on course for nuclear bomb, EU told

Iran will be able to develop enough weapons-grade material for a nuclear bomb and there is little that can be done to prevent it, an internal European Union document has concluded.

In an admission of the international community’s failure to hold back Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the document – compiled by the staff of Javier Solana, EU foreign policy chief – says the atomic programme has been delayed only by technical limitations rather than diplomatic pressure. “Attempts to engage the Iranian administration in a negotiating process have not so far succeeded,” it states.

The downbeat conclusions of the “reflection paper” – seen by the Financial Times – are certain to be seized on by advocates of military action, who fear that Iran will be able to produce enough fissile material for a bomb over the next two to three years. Tehran insists its purposes are purely peaceful.

“At some stage we must expect that Iran will acquire the capacity to enrich uranium on the scale required for a weapons programme,” says the paper, dated February 7 and circulated to the EU’s 27 national governments ahead of a foreign ministers meeting yesterday.

“In practice . . . the Iranians have pursued their programme at their own pace, the limiting factor being technical difficulties rather than resolutions by the UN or the International Atomic Energy Agency.

“The problems with Iran will not be resolved through economic sanctions alone.”

Reform At Will (Not)

“Reform”. For those who are not into the dhimmi mindset, for those who do not believe terrorism is “resistance against Western imperialism”, for those who recognize that we are the ones who are up against an imperialistic ideology, called Islam, that word is the last glimmer of hope for true lovers of peace, the only alternative to World War III. If Islam could be reformed to be like other religions, whether personal or national or having dreams of worldwide acceptance but through the power of the deity or of intellectual persuasion rather than through human military efforts, then the need to confront it on the worldwide battlefield would be spared from us. But hope is one thing; every hope needs to be evaluated by a study of its feasibility.

Is religious reform at will possible, and if so, how long could it take? Time is of the essence here, because, as Fjordman emphasizes, it will not do us much good to witness the reform of Islam after the demographic jihad has brought our states down on their knees before the god of the Koran. In an attempt to answer these questions, I compare religions and reformations in them; not all the comparisons may be applicable to Islam, yet the workings of the religious mind share some common points that can shed light on the issue.

Chimpanzees may have had their own Stone Age

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Chimpanzees may have had their own "Stone Age," with evidence showing they were using stone tools to crack nuts 4,300 years ago, researchers reported on Monday.

They said their findings suggest that the common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans started using tools more than 7 million years ago, when the two species started to evolve separately.

"It's not clear whether we hominins invented this kind of stone technology, or whether both humans and the great apes inherited it from a common forebear," said archeologist Julio Mercader of the University of Calgary in Alberta, who led the study. [...]

So, chimps had their Stone Age some 4,300 years ago, and some humans are still living in one:
