Is There
Actually
A Change Occurring
In The Muslim Community
In The UK?


One can only hope. Check out this, from the BBC:


'Islamic duty' to help UK police

Muslims have been told it is their 'Islamic duty' to co-operate with the police to ensure Britain's safety.

The statement was agreed at a "deeply significant" meeting in London held by the Muslim Council of Britain.

More than 200 people, including imams, community activists and police representatives, gathered to lay out ways to combat the threat of terrorism.

A spokesman said there was a real willingness to accept the "problem within the Muslim community".

Press were excluded from the "lively" two and a half hour meeting, but Inayat Bunglawala, from the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), spoke to the BBC News Website afterwards.
'Lethal' interpretation

He said: "One of the key factors that we are agreed on is that there's an Islamic duty to co-operate with the police to ensure the safety of British citizens, Muslims and non-Muslims."

The problem, he said, lay with a small number of extremists who shared a "violent world view" and who are "killing civilians for what they believe is an interpretation of Islam".

Mr Bunglawala added that leading imams at the meeting called it a "lethal misinterpretation".
In addition to the cultural impact of the alleged bomb plots in Glasgow and London, the meeting also discussed the effects of foreign policy on fundamentalism.

Mr Bunglawala said: "Some naturally raised the issue of foreign policy and we agreed our actions overseas have inadvertently helped the spread of extremist ideas."

MCB secretary general Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari told the meeting at the Islamic Cultural Centre next to Regent's Park mosque: "These people who attempt to kill or maim in this way are enemies of us all."


I'd like to think so. Certainly, I've never seen this kind of statement (initiating cooperation with the authorities) issued before.

However, at the same time, we see once again that the MCB are tying the rise in extremism to British foreign policy, where the goal has been to establish a Democracy in Iraq.

So, who cares? Why are we supposed to care that that leads to a rise in extremism? That's like saying that policemen arresting criminals leads to a rise in criminals shooting policemen.

And, isn't Mr. Bunglawala once somehow tied into the mix in a death threat directed at Charles Johnson?

Yes, he was.

Mr. Bunglawala is not a man I trust, but perhaps, as I said at the top of this post, encouragement from the MCB for the public to cooperate with the authorities does indicate a sea-change.

I certainly hope so.

Jihad Bobby, just a guy.

Jihad Bobby, just a guy.

My doctor scares me because he's a Muslim. Maybe I'm wrong to feel that he's a potential killer. But I found out for sure, to the point I have good cause to inform the police. I call, I tell, I tell a Muslim police officer. I tell him my Mulsim doctor is a killer, a jihadi terrorist. I go home to wait for some response, to see my doctor taken down by the ERT, hauled away in a body bag, captured, anything.

I get a knock at the door, and there I find eight policemen who want to take me and my mates downtown for further questioning....[Of course, only four shown above.]

STEPHEN WRIGHT, Eight Al Qaeda fanatics working for the police (but they don't dare sack them). London: 7th July 2007

Up to eight police officers and civilian staff are suspected of links to extremist groups including Al Qaeda. Some are even believed to have attended terror training camps in Pakistan or Afghanistan. Their names feature on a secret list of alleged radicals said to be working in the Metropolitan and other forces.

Let's assume certain things did happen [in World War II]. Why should the people of the Middle East, for over 60 years, pay for it under it pretext?

Iranian President Ahmadinejad: The greatest problem from which humanity suffers today, the main problem facing the countries of the Middle East, is the continuation of the process that took place during World War II...Why do they grieve over some of the victims only? let's assume that the [Holocaust] was true - who should be punished for this? This is a serious question facing contemporary humanity.

Sixty years have passed since that war, and the people of Palestine are still paying the price for a war in which they did not participate.

OH?

Meanwhile, China keeps on keeping on...

China's air force building 'offensive power projection capability'

IMHO, China is pursuing all military means necessary to successfully invade and conquer and occupy Taiwan, including absolute defeat of any and all american forces which might come to Taiwan's aid

Gertz:China is building up its air forces with advanced warplanes and other high tech arms, according to senior Air Force official. Lt. Gen. David A. Deptula, deputy chief of staff for intelligence-surveillance-reconnaissance told reporters June 21 that China’s air force build up includes a new indigenous J-10 fighter and purchases from Russia of advanced Su-30 fighter bombers.

HAMAS - template for the new caliphate, planned in Teheran

Hizbullah asks Teheran to approve Hamas-like takeover of southern Lebanon

GERTZ: The Iranian-sponsored Hizbullah has been impressed with the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip. The question debated within the Lebanese movement is why not do the same thing in Beirut?

For the last year, Hizbullah has been in a standoff with the pro-U.S. government of Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora. Hizbullah thought the Siniora government would collapse in late 2006 when hundreds of thousands of Shi'ites surrounded government buildings downtown in a demand to make the movement the chief partner of the prime minister.

But somehow, with backing from Saudi Arabia and the United States, Siniora survived and most of the Hizbullah supporters got tired and went home. In May 2007, Hizbullah sought to undermine the Siniora government in the Al Qaida-aligned insurrection in northern Lebanon.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THE US TO WAKE UP?

A fine choice

1. Much of US favors Bush impeachment: poll

also this half hour....

2. US concerns over China weapons in Iraq

hmmmmm...............

1) Nearly half of the US public wants President George W. Bush to face impeachment, and even more favor that fate for Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a poll out Friday.

The survey by the American Research Group found that 45 percent support the US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against Bush, with 46 percent opposed, and a 54-40 split in favor when it comes to Cheney.

The study by the private New Hampshire-based ARG canvassed 1,100 Americans by telephone July 3-5 and had an error margin of plus or minus three percentage points. The findings are available on ARG's Internet site.

Sorry to ask about details, but on what high crime charge would this be? The democrats are flirting with what a would cause a division so deep that there would be no recovery from the charges of treason and counter charges of corruption, yadda yadda. We can start the countdown to a Saturninus or Catiline. We think we are and always will be the recipient of life as it is today. This is a foolish, and naive solpisoid delusion. The article makes no mention of a charge. Could the american people be so stupid as to have no crime in mind, or could the poll takers be so harmful to the credibility and safety of the nation by design OR STUPIDITY?

Meanwhile in China...who has decided like Russia, that anything which is bad for us must be good for them...

The Islamic Gulag

One has to sign up to view the text. Via Dhimmi Watch.

SHAH ALAM, Malaysia—A Muslim-born woman who was forced to spend six months in an Islamic rehabilitation center because she wants to live as a Hindu said Friday after her release that she will never return to her original faith.

Revathi Masoosai, 29, said officials at the center tried to make her pray as a Muslim, wear a head scarf and eat beef, a practice sacrilege to Hindus.

"Because of their behavior, I loathe Islam even more now," she told reporters. "They say it's a school, but it's actually a prison."

Indeed.

Those Jews!

MEMRI via Daimnation:

Among the cartoons published in the Arab and Iranian press are cartoons of antisemitic character. These contain a number of recurring themes: they often represent the Jews as long-nosed characters of ultra-orthodox appearance, as the killers of Christ, as serpents or as Nazi soldiers. In addition, Jews are portrayed as having pervasive control and power, and as conspirators and instigators of wars, who are out to rule the world.

This one is precious:

The sign says "Hamas - Fatah".

Oh yes, the bomb is Jewish!

The Malay Dilemma, Revisited

Many years ago, the infamous jihadist apologist and now former Malaysian prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad authored his now famous tome, “The Malay Dilemma.” Well, Dr. Moonbat was right about one thing -- Malays do indeed face a dilemma.

The first aspect of the Malay predicament is their near-psychotic fixation on race and 'racial' success, which is a significant driver in Malay politics and culture. For Malays, everything begins and ends with race and racial identity, a dangerous cultural ‘quirk’ that virtually begs for institutionalized paranoia. Making matters even worse is the fact that Malay racial politics or ‘racialism’ is official government strategy.

This relentless Malay mania for racial identity seeps into every facet of Malaysian life. All manner of Malay ‘rights’ are hard wired into the social contract and Federal Constitution, and is the enduring raison d’etre for long-standing government (i.e. UMNO) policies like NEP that trump logic, fiscal reality, and common sense.

The Infidel Bloggers Alliance Radio Show

And now, coming to you live from a Stealth Bomber circling above Mecca, it's the Infidel Bloggers Alliance Radio Show.

1) We take the piss out of Presidential Candidate, and prime Islam appeaser, Joe Biden.

2) We destroy Ed Morrissey, and any other "moderate" who thinks that the West doesn't have the right to match force with force in our fight against Islamofascism.

3) We interview "The Kid From Brooklyn", whose answer to all those Muslims who don't want to live according to Western laws and freedoms is, "Send them the fuck back. Send them the fuck back. Send them the fuck back."

By the way, the lovely Pamela, from Atlas Shrugs calls in and shares some of her amazing self as well.

And, my message to all you Islamofascists out there who hate our ways here in the West is, you are increidbly pathetic, because your women love us. And, by the way, here's a little insight into what I did to your sister last night.

"Muslims in anti-terror campaign" - UPDATED BY PASTORIUS

British Muslims are leading a new campaign condemning the recent attempted car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow.

The campaign, titled "Not in Our Name", will be launched across the UK with adverts in newspapers.

PASTORIUS UPDATE: This is all very nice, Jonz. But, let me tell you, while I hope these individual Muslims do mean well - and they might - we don't have a lot of reason to believe that they do.

It truly pains me to tell you this - for this is one of the most painful truths in the world for me - but, this verse that "peaceful" or "moderate" Muslims quote in justifying themselves at "peaceful" and "moderate", is an excisement of a larger verse.

The verse is from Koran 5:32-34.

I am going to give you three translations of each individual verse. These translations are from the USC (University of Southern California) website. Here is a link to the chapter.

005.032

YUSUFALI: On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

PICKTHAL: For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.

SHAKIR: For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.

005.033

YUSUFALI: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;

PICKTHAL: The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom;

SHAKIR: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement,

005.034

YUSUFALI: Except for those who repent before they fall into your power: in that case, know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

PICKTHAL: Save those who repent before ye overpower them. For know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

SHAKIR: Except those who repent before you have them in your power; so know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

And, the thing is, Jonz, my friend, the Muslims who are represented in this advertisement, and by this organization, they know the truth of this verse. They know what the verse says.

And yet, they have chosen to excise it for Infidel consumption.

There's your choice with Islam, repent, or be "overpowered" and "crucified".

What do you think about that?

BREAKING: FBI probing written threats to Goldman Sachs that "hundreds will die"

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - The FBI is investigating anonymous threats against the Goldman Sachs investment firm contained in handwritten letters warning that "hundreds will die."

Sent to newspapers across the country, the letters threaten the investment titan, warning, "We are inside. You cannot stop us."

The Star Ledger of Newark reported the letters were all mailed from Queens, and signed "A.Q., U.S.A." One of the letters, postmarked June 27, was received recently by the newspaper.

"Crescent of Betrayal": new book about the Flight 93 memorial scandal

Alec Rawls, who blogged about the attempt to foist a memorial design in the shape of an Islamic crescent on the victims of Flight 93, something that may still be in attempt by the corrupt buearocrats in charge, has now written a book about the case, Crescent of Betrayal, some of which is available at this website.

Shortcut for Al Qaeda

Nukes from coup or strike in Pakistan.

Al Qaeda has a large following among the ISI, Paki Army and electoral strength thru the MMA.

Men such as Hamid Gul (former head of ISI) believe all the crazy things they preach and would form a semi believable (under 9/10 rules) barrier between pure murderers and their supporters in a nation of 170 million+, too many of whom are lunatic deobandi pushtuns.

Imagine the instant world turmoil an overthrow, coup or takeover via MMA election would cause. Imagine a Bakri as leader and prime minister, or a Hamid Gul who really believes jews both control america and praised Mel Gibson's sick remarks about jews causing all wars in history at the helm of a WELL NUCLEAR ARMED nation. Imagine someone like that.

Could we tolerate that situation?

Special forces strike to get the nukes quick?

Instant strikes into waziristan?

What would be the strategically correct response to a nation like that suddenly a sovereign enemy deadlier than Iran, and with a record of religious and fiscal support to the Taliban, their ideological and relgious friends, and sworn enemies of the american people like Gulbuddin Hekmatyar ?

Israel wakes up to the reality

Haaretz Poll:

Most appropriate of three to be prime minister?

Olmert 9% Netanyahu 38% Barak 24% None 23% All same 2% Don't know 4%

Most appropriate of two to be prime minister?

Netanyahu 42% Barak 34% None 18% All same 2% Don't know 3%'

But Haaretz, the left leaning paper, like the NYT has a different slant to the hard numbers ..interesting

What will it take here? A lost war and rockets falling, as well?

Rebels turn on Al-Qaeda

Abu Ghraib - The cars roared through west Baghdad, packed with masked gunmen hanging out of windows and brandishing Kalashnikovs: Meet the latest US allies in the war against al-Qaeda in Iraq.

As recently as six months ago many of the gunmen, who still wear the mismatched urban camouflage of street fighters, were planting roadside bombs, sniping at US soldiers and battling Iraqi forces.

But recently an alliance between US-led forces and Sunni tribes in the western province of Anbar has drawn in nationalist insurgents in Baghdad keen to claw back their neighbourhoods from al-Qaeda's Islamists.

The new force in Abu Ghraib includes not only members of prominent local tribes, but fighters from the Brigades of the 1920 Revolution (Rev20) and the Islamic Army, two Sunni insurgent groups established to fight US forces.

Both oppose the occupation, but in Anbar and some western Baghdad neighbourhoods they have a tacit ceasefire with US-led security forces while fighting to expel the Iraq franchise of Osama Bin Laden's jihadi network

Train Derailment In London

Hmm? (From the London Telegraph):


Passengers feared they had been caught up in a terrorist attack when the westbound Central line train derailed between Mile End and Bethnal Green in east London yesterday morning.

About 900 commuters - many covered in dust - were led to safety along the tracks after being trapped in a tunnel for two hours.

Paramedics treated 37 people at the scene and eleven of them were hospitalised.

Transport for London said it was “very unlikely” that full service would be resumed in time for the morning rush hour, forcing commuters on to buses or alternative train routes.

The line between Liverpool Street and Leytonstone is still closed in both directions this morning as work continues to rerail the train and repair the damage.

The District Line is operating normally but congestion is likely at stations in the surrounding area until Central Line trains are fully restored.

The cause of the accident is yet to be established, although investigators were said to be looking at the possibility a “bale of material” caused an obstruction.

The Rail Accident Investigation Bureau is also conducting an investigation into the incident, while the British Transport Police said there was “no indication of any terrorist attack”.


Of course not. There is no indication.

And, who know, really?

A democrat and the lesson of garbage

I still remain a registered democrat. I just can't bring myself to DO IT. There was a while in the last few years I didn't think I'd last, but then James Dobson would open his mouth, or Trent Lott, and I'd think of Mr. Goldwater's comment on Jerry Falwell. This calls out the discrepancy between what democrats are 'supposed to believe' and what I believe.

But here's something bigger than the foreign policy mutations which sent the democratic party reeling away from men like myself, Henry Jackson, Sam Nunn, Harry Truman, FDR, Dean Acheson ...on and on.

The lesson of garbage.

We first bought our lake home in rural Maine in 1977. There was no town garbage collection. There was a need. A local person had a business. He filled that need. It cost $2/week. You could send them a check for a week, a month a year, whatever. Some people left $2 in the mailbox.

Norman Rockwell.

If you had something you couldn't tote to the road, well you could tip the guys for about $10 and they'd back on down and take your washing machine, or whatever. You could always work it out. If you needed more than one pickup a week, you picked up the phone and added in $2.

Proof Through The Night

Jonz, one of the two English guys with whom I started Infidel Bloggers Aliance wrote in and asked about what we do to celebrate the 4th of July here in America.

Here is what he wrote:



So what did you guys do? Street parties or anything?We don't have squat to celebrate our country in uk


:(


This is what I did - and people do this all over Amreica:


I went down to the downtown area, and there is a stadium there, and thousands of people packed the stadium, and lined the streets, and there were bands, and food booths, and a patriotic show, and a singing of the National Anthenm, and a Pledging of Allegiance to the flag, and then a huge fucking fireworks show that set off car alarms and scared dogs and small children for miles around.


It was beautiful!


But, one of the things I kept thinking last night is we really are a war-like nation, and this is just more proof those Jihadi-fucks are in for some big trouble.


Fireworks may be pretty, but the reason we do fireworks shows on the 4th of July is because of a line in our National Anthem:


And the rockets red glare

And the bombs bursting in mid-air

Gave proof through the night

That our flag was still there


America is watching the world and we are seeing what is happening (UK - Glasgow, in just the past few days), and often, it seems, we are even more angry about what is being done to our brothers in Europe than are our Eurepean brothers themselves.


We are willing to do whatever it is going to take to win. We will bear the fear of seeking the "Proof through the night."


That is called Faith, my friends. And we Westerners have to find that faith within ourselves, and within whatever God, or country, it is we believe in.


Because what we have is worth believing in and preserving.


And, after all, who the fuck wants to live like this?

Pakistani Red Mosque assieged: top cleric caught under black burqa

If these clerics weren´t so dangerous, the scene could be considered as ridiculous:

 A security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, said authorities captured the mosque’s top cleric, Maulana Abdul Aziz, after a female police officer tried to search his body, which was concealed by a full-length black burqa.

Aziz was threatening with large-scale suicide attacks if the siege was not finished.

Infidel Hunk of the Week

John Smeaton, Glasgow terror hero
Daily Telegraph - 6 hours ago

 John Smeaton, the ordinary hero of the Glasgow Airport terror attack now being hailed around the world.

The 31-year-old British Airport Authority worker helped to wrestle a terror suspect to the ground.

His defiant, spontaneous act - and his vow that should terrorists come to Glasgow again “we’ll set about ya” - has captured the imagination of millions across the globe.

The show of support - and, more particularly, its humourous tone - suggest that many people around the world are simply laughing in the face of terror.

Muslim leaders to "hound out extremists"

Brilliant news, just the sort of thing that would have been nicer had it been said years ago. Still, the tide is turning, at last, it seems within the 'Muslim community', so to speak.

Muslim leaders in Merseyside have promised that extremists will be "hounded out" of their community.

Elders spoke out on Wednesday after it emerged that two of the men being held after the failed UK car bombings are cousins with links to the North West.

Dr Sabeel Ahmed, 26, lived in Liverpool and worked at Halton Hospital, Runcorn, with 27-year-old Mohammed Haneef.

On Wednesday, Mohammad Akbar Ali, a Liverpool Muslim elder, joined police in speaking out against extremism.

"If anyone has any ideas that perhaps they will find some sanctuary or some place to hide after engaging in such activities or entertaining such ideas then he is absolutely wrong," he said.

"We have no place in our hearts or in our mosques or in our areas for such people.

"Let them be warned that they will be hounded out of these areas."

Mr Ali urged older members of the Muslim community to set an example to younger people.

"Some of them are perhaps misguided, and some of them have been thoroughly brainwashed in one way or another," he said.

Mr Ali said one solution was to establish counselling centres where elders could take in any young people with "very misguided ideas about Islam".

I'm An American

Infidel Blogger's Alliance is not an American blog. It is an international blog. Still, I am an American, so forgive me, but I have to put up this video here on the 4th of July.

Happy 4th of July to all my American peeps.

Why I am not "Dr." Dag.

I would sneak past the dog on the chain and hope his choking didn't wake my mother as I got into the trailerhouse where we lived, but sometimes even if the dog's growling and gurgling didn't wake her up she'd be laying there on the sofa watching soap operas, her hair in curlers, and she'd be popping bon-bons while she watched General Hospital on the flickering black and white t.v. with the coat hanger antenna pulling in the trials and tribulations of the better-off. "Hey you," she'd yell if she spotted me, "what're you doing in here? Why ain't you at school studying to be a doctor like these here folks on the t.v.?"

I cringe even now when I think of the wasted life I've lived, me not pursuing a career as a doctor.

Ma would yell out, "Lookee there, you ain't done no dishes for a week. Lookee there!" I knew when she said it that if I'd been smarter or better looking I could be a doctor and I'd never have to look at dishes in the sink again. I could eat in restaurants every meal and have Puerto Ricans wash up after me. I'd tell ma I was working hard at my rithmatic sos I could be a doctor and then she'd relax and go back to watching the future she had planned for me. Her son, the doctor, screwing all the low-life nurses and gittin into trouble with married ladies and such. She had my interests at heart, I'm sure. "An roll some o' them tires outta the yard inta the ditch. Place looks like a gawd dam junk yard!"

I never did make it into medical school. I went to university, even for a short time in Jordan where I found I just don't have the mind for wiring and propane tanks and that kind of mechanical stuff. So, yes, I failed my audition in Hollywood. I was good enough at chasing girls, and I looked just right in a lab coat; but it was the driving skills that had me. I could never find the airport. I kept crashing the Mercedes into the first lamppost I came to, not being able to get anywhere near a night club. But the worst of it was, and this is the reason I failed not just ma and myself but the whole point of living, I could never get that Koranic stuff.

Ma died of a broken heart cause I didn't become a doctor. Every year I go out to Potter's Field and pour a couple bottles of Cream Soda on her spot, and I tell her how sorry I am I didn't get the job on the soap opera. She's so angry even all the grass is dead around her spot. I coulda faked all that other stuff, but it was that Koran stuff that sunk me. I just never did get it. It puzzles me big time.

Cabbie Hero Who Kicked Terrorist in the Balls

Once again I'd like to reiterate my pleasure of reading about the fearless Scots response to the attempted terror attack at Glasgow airport. This is another account

Alex McIlveen, 45 kicked and punched the two men after they crashed a Jeep Cherokee loadedwith propane gas intended to cause devastation and destruction in Terminal One.

I kicked him with full force right in the balls but he didn't go down. He just kept on babbling his rubbish. I couldn't believe that he was still standing. I know I would have been floored by that kind of kick.

Alex was one of group of heroic Scots who took on the men who targeted the airport on Saturday afternoon.

He told the Daily Record: "I noticed a 4x4 sitting in the middle of the road. Then, as my passenger was paying and getting out, the Jeep rammed into the airport entrance right next to us.

Then he kicked and punched a man to the ground before punching a policeman square in the face.

"That's when I saw red. That sort of thing just isn't on.

"I told my passenger to run for her life, then I went for the passenger and managed to skelp him in the face. I followed it up by booting him twice."

The father of two damaged a tendon in his foot after he kicked one of the suspects.

The cabbie said: "I kicked him with full force right in the balls but he didn't go down. He just kept on babbling his rubbish.

"I couldn't believe that he was still standing. I know I would have been floored by that kind of kick."

Then he went after the driver of the vehicle.

"It was obvious the driver wanted into the boot of the Jeep for something and I was worried about what it was. I thought it must be a gun.

"He was going crazy, just lashing out at everyone and babbling p*sh ['pish' scottish for piss]in a foreign language the whole time.

"I've heard people say since that he was shouting 'Allah!' but I didn't hear that. It just sounded like a lot of c**p to me.

"I ran for the guy and punched him twice in the face with pretty good right hooks.

He recalled: "He was a big guy and I'm not really a fighter, but his punches were wild and I managed to dodge them and make some good strikes myself.

"I don't think the policeman I saw at the scene drew his baton during the whole thing. He should have given it to me - I'd have leathered those guys with it."

It was only later at the Paisley police station where Alex was helping detectives with their inquiries that the severity of the incident hit the cabbie.

Seven Spanish tourists killed in Yemen by suicide bomber

Two days ago, a vehicle entered the gate at Temple of Queen of Sheba, known by its Arabic name of Balquis, before it ploughed into the convoy of tourists and exploded.

Among the dead there are also two Yemenis, the guide and the interpretor.

Today we have known that Yemen, a country known by its very strict Islamic rule, has detained dozens of Al-Qaeda linked suspects.

Witnesses have declared that the suicide bomber asked who were the people inside the temple and when answered, they were Western tourists, he walked away and then came back to plough into the convoy.

But, three years after Spanish withdrawal from Iraq, leftists keep on blaming "the photo of the Azores", you know, ehh, Iraqi war...

In yesterday's session of the Spanish Debate of the Nation, PP leader Rajoy:

accused the Prime Minister of spurning allies like the US to focus on ineffective pet projects, such as his “Alliance of Civilisations” initiative, designed to foster dialogue between Europe and the Muslim world.

“Thirteen of our countrymen have been killed by jihadi attacks in the space of just a few days,” Mr Rajoy said. “Terrorism must be fought with our allies, not with other [initiatives] that are good for nothing.

Born: 5 October 1913, Washington, D.C. Other Navy award: Navy Cross with 3 Gold Stars. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as commanding officer of the U.S.S. Barb during her 11th war patrol along the east coast of China from 19 December 1944 to 15 February 1945. After sinking a large enemy ammunition ship and damaging additional tonnage during a running 2-hour night battle on 8 January, Comdr. Fluckey, in an exceptional feat of brilliant deduction and bold tracking on 25 January, located a concentration of more than 30 enemy ships in the lower reaches of Nankuan Chiang (Mamkwan Harbor). Fully aware that a safe retirement would necessitate an hour's run at full speed through the uncharted, mined, and rock-obstructed waters, he bravely ordered, "Battle station--torpedoes!" In a daring penetration of the heavy enemy screen, and riding in 5 fathoms of water, he launched the Barb's last forward torpedoes at 3,000-yard range. Quickly bringing the ship's stern tubes to bear, he turned loose 4 more torpedoes into the enemy, obtaining 8 direct hits on 6 of the main targets to explode a large ammunition ship and cause inestimable damage by the resultant flying shells and other pyrotechnics. Clearing the treacherous area at high speed, he brought the Barb through to safety and 4 days later sank a large Japanese freighter to complete a record of heroic combat achievement, reflecting the highest credit upon Comdr. Fluckey, his gallant officers and men, and the U.S. Naval Service.

Adm, Fluckey passed away this last week at age 94.

Thinking of HAMAS and Gaza, what do we represent to the muslim street?

Hint: It probably doesn't matter

HAMAS started as a project by the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt as the Muslim Brotherhood in 'palestine' in the 1987-88 time frame, was at first given the nod by the Israelis.

Why?
Because they concentrated on social services, direct charity, schools and religion. This increased the amount of 'order'. Today, of course, we know that they were teaching racist incitement to genocide as the ultimate 'point', and that all those characteristics mentioned as social goods were, in fact, designed to garner support for their real program, Islam via Jihad and Sharia. This program was no secret, they will tell you, and they are right.
But, never mind that now. It was all possible because to the street they were uncorrupted, religiously inspired HELP. REAL HELP.

This got me thinking about what we, and our govt represent, to US, let alone the big 'them'.

Every touch point I have with the federal govt means a not happy day. Taxes. Paperwork. Entanglements which drain productivity. Viewing mostly bad decisions. I really haven't asked the feds to do anything for me, or the state. Local I talk to, and they can't hide up here in rural Maine. When it's about the roads, schools or improvements they have to be responsive because they actually have to face us. But the federal govt as a touch point, and as the only lobe of govt which might touch the muslim street shows up with the joke 'Hi, we're from Washington and we're here to help you'.

So given that any touch (let alone a jdam touch) but the feds is going to be 'not good' how do we touch others?

As ye sow, so shall ye reap*

…aka “jaisi karni vaise bharni“.
The BBC reports that ”Radical Islamist students have shot dead a Pakistani soldier in clashes outside a rebellious mosque in the capital, Islamabad…”

From the report:
“…Armed students and clerics at the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) have openly defied the authorities for months in their campaign for Islamic Sharia law.
…BBC’s Syed Shoaib Hasan …says regular police and paramilitary units ringing the mosque compound have now been replaced by what appear to be special forces. Ambulances and journalists have been told to move further away.
Dozens of students - mostly armed with sticks and petrol bombs, but some with guns and wearing masks - are patrolling around the mosque.
…The Lal Masjid and its seminaries have been at the centre of a number of confrontations with the authorities. They include the kidnapping of police and people the mosque says are involved in immoral activities.
Critics have attacked the government for failing to enforce its authority in the capital.
Correspondents say the authorities seem unwilling or unable to act. President Musharraf has said security forces cannot raid the mosque for fear of reprisal suicide attacks.”

I had worried about this kind of thing a few months ago. See The “Talibanisation” of Pakistan…“

UPDATE: The death toll is now reported at 12 people

UPDATE # 2: The Chinese connection to Lal Masjid: (courtesy Acorn)

“By all accounts, the zealous promoters of virtue from Islamabad’s Lal Masjid went too far when they abducted nine Chinese nationals for running a brothel under the familiar guise of a massage parlour. For several reasons: China is an ‘all weather’ friend that Pakistan just cannot afford to annoy. But also because Islamabad’s powerful—including Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, leader of Pakistan’s ruling party—used to patronise that establishment to relax their weary muscles.
…Ultimately, Abdul Rashid Ghazi, Lal Masjid’s leader, announced that he had released the hostages in the interests of Pakistan-China friendship, on the government’s word that Islamabad’s massage parlours would be closed down.”

In a separate newstory, the BBC also reported that a UK failed car bombing terror suspect was caught in Australia “carrying a one-way ticket to India” :-(

* From the Bible

Physician, anneal thyself.

"Do no harm." BUT. Do no harm to Muslims. The kufar don't matter. In fact, kill the unbelievers wherever you find them. It is a command from Allah, Koran 9:5, the Sword Verse. Not all Muslims take it literally, do they? Not all Muslim doctors take it literally do they? Not all Muslim doctors in Vancouver, Canada take it literally do they?

Who knows?

Eight suspects 'have links to NHS'

Press Association
Wednesday July 4, 2007 4:53 AM

All eight people arrested in connection with car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow have links to the NHS.

Seven are believed to be doctors or trainee doctors while the one woman under arrest is a trained laboratory researcher. [More at:] http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6756343,00.html.


What we don't read in the press is that, as we know, all of the folks arrested and those others being sought in connection with these latest attempts at indiscriminate mass murder are Muslims who read the Koran and know more about it than most of us do. If they follow the religion they know, why do we find our own non-Muslim experts telling us the Muslims don't know their own religion? This last lot of jihadis, much like many others in the jihad business, are not stupid or starving or desperate in any normal sense of our experience. So why not give these people credit for the brain power they obviously have, and give them credit too for knowing their own religion well enough to practice it properly. If we know Islam better than the average Muslim medical doctor, why friend, should we think he knows medicine better than we do? If you know more medicine than the doctor, heal thyself. If you know Islam better than a Muslim doctor, why not become an imam? But if all this is seeming to make sense and you find you're faced with a Muslim doctor who has your trust in his knowledge of specialized areas, then what are you going to do if you find yourself alone with him getting advice about your own life, Mr. Finkleschwartz, Mrs. Trollope, Miss pregnant teen-age girl, tribal tattoo dude?

I haven't looked in the phone book under physicians to find out how many doctors in this city are named Abu, Ali, Mohammed, Omar, Uthman, and so on. If I found myself in need of a doctor I'd think twice about anyone with a name like that. Why? Because I give them credit for knowing their own religion, and it demands they call us to Islam, demand that we convert, pay jizya, or die. I don't want a doctor with an approach to medicine that includes those prescriptions. I'd look in the phone book to see who to avoid in case of an emergency.

The Dhimmitude Of Gordon Brown

BROWN: DON'T SAY TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS
Tuesday July 3, 2007

Gordon Brown has banned ministers from using the word “Muslim” in ­connection with the ­terrorism crisis.

The Prime Minister has also instructed his team – including new Home Secretary Jacqui Smith – that the phrase “war on terror” is to be dropped.

The shake-up is part of a fresh attempt to improve community relations and avoid offending Muslims, adopting a more “consensual” tone than existed under Tony Blair.

However, the change provoked claims last night that ministers are indulging in yet more political correctness.

The sudden shift in tone emerged in comments by Mr Brown and Ms Smith in the wake of the failed attacks in London and Glasgow.

Mr Brown’s spokesman acknowledged yesterday that ministers had been given specific guidelines to avoid inflammatory language.

“There is clearly a need to strike a consensual tone in relation to all communities across the UK,” the spokesman said. “It is important that the country remains united.”

He confirmed that the phrase “war on terror” – strongly associated with Mr Blair and US President George Bush – has been dropped.

Officials insist that no direct links with Muslim extremists have been publicly confirmed by police investigating the latest attempted terror attacks. Mr Brown himself did not refer to Muslims or Islam once in a BBC TV interview on Sunday.
Ms Smith also avoided any such reference in her statement to MPs yesterday.

She said: “Let us be clear – terrorists are criminals, whose victims come from all walks of life, communities and religions. Terrorists attack the values shared by all law-abiding citizens. As a Government, as communities, as individuals, we need to ensure that the message of the terrorists is rejected.”

Tory backbencher Philip Davies said: “I don’t know what purpose is served by this. I don’t think we need pussyfoot around when talking about terrorism.”

But former Tory homeland security spokesman Patrick Mercer said: “This is quite a smart idea. We know that the vast majority of Muslims are not involved in terrorism and we have to accept there are sensitivities about these matters.”

As DK Shideler said at the Vigilant Freedom/910 Group Blog, the UK has now embarked on a policy of "sycophantic drivel."

No Useful Analysis

So, several of the bombing suspects turned out to be doctors or doctors in training? Isn't that a comfort?

This article, from the July 3, 2007 edition of the Washington Post, delineates how the recent terrorism tactics in the UK can directly affect us here in the United States. Any discussion of ideology? Nope.

The msm have an opportunity to do some analysis of the mindset motivating jihadism. The msm should be rounding up every terrorism expert they can find and informing the public of the ideology sworn to our destruction. They should be having a feeding frenzy related to that ideology.

But no! They'd rather cover the story about the commutation of Scooter Libby's sentence.

One of these days, maybe not too far in the future, something horrific is going to happen here in America. And the media will act shocked. Shocked! As if it had been impossible for them to see the devastation from coming.

The Right Thing to Do

Bush Grants Clemency to Libby

Bush has commuted Libby's prison term, leaving intact the quarter million dollar fine, and probation. Now, I can't imagine that the jury was not disgusted by Libby's apparent lying under oath, but we all have to wonder what drove a special prosecutor ONE MILLISECOND past the moment his investigation was informed that Richard Armitage a long time State Dept employee was the 'culprit' in revealing Valerie Plame's name and job.

Since Mr, Libby did not commit that crime, and neither, BTW did Mr. Armitage commit a crime, and since NO ONE was charged with the crime the investigation was designed to uncover I can conclude that Mr. Fitzgerald created a crime by driving the investigation to Martha Stewart excess.

This entire episode makes a farce of investigations which are serious. Had Mr. Fitzgerald been conducting himself in such a manner in 1972, Richard Nixon would have quietly served his full second term after the entire idea of a special prosecutor would have been revealed for the joke it is.

I'm sure the reader is astute enough to recognize the difference between this and the Marc Rich case, and the ends of both.

Libby committed a crime, judged by a jury and still stands guilty. His ABSURD prison sentence for a crime committed only because the investigation PURSUED him after realizing no base crime ocurred stands in stark contrast to the full pardon Marc Rich, and others obtained from Bill Clinton during the penalty free days of his exit.

London, Glasgow, the hunt, a boring and frustrating CONFIRMATION of the blatant

'Terror ringleader' is brilliant National Health Service doctor

Mohammed Atta - Engineer
Ayman Al Zawalhiri - Pediatrician
Rantissi - Pediatrician
Khaled Sheikh Mohammed - Advanced Degree
Now this .... Mohammed Asha

These are not the poor, downtrodden, hopeless.

These are the enlightened. They kill big. They are religious idealists.

The poor downtrodden hopeless use dull knives, one on one.

But it's all the same.

Same impetus.
Same team.
Same playbook.

Why is it taking so long for enlightenment to reach the minds of the western leaders?

There will be no avoidance in the end.

It is here.

Now, we hunt in Pakistan

US to hunt the Taliban inside Pakistan

By Syed Saleem Shahzad ASIA TIMES ONLINE

KARACHI - Since last September, North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces in Afghanistan have been pressing Islamabad for the right to conduct extensive hot-pursuit operations into Pakistan to target Taliban and al-Qaeda bases.

According to Asia Times Online contacts, NATO and its US backers have gotten their wish: coalition forces will start hitting targets wherever they might be.

Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf is expected to make an important announcement on extremism during an address to the nation in the next day or two.

The ATol contacts in Islamabad say that coalition intelligence has pinpointed at least four centers in the tribal areas of North Waziristan and South Waziristan on the border with Afghanistan from which Taliban operations inside Afghanistan are run. These bases include arms caches and the transfer and raising of money and manpower, the latter in the form of foot-soldiers to fight with the Taliban-led insurgency.

MAYBE.....just maybe ..we'll see ..maybe they need us to be the infidel killers in the Islamic Emirate of Waziristan. MAYBE

Small, Inept Attacks Have Significance (Dr. Tawfik Hamid: Review 1)

I have many pages of notes from Dr. Tawfik Hamid's June 29, 2007 lecture at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C. I foresee at least three posts on that lecture, which lasted nearly two hours. This is the first of those posts.

Because of the recent attacks in the UK, I have decided to post briefly about the motives of jihadists, in part because right now, our media are missing crucial points.

According to what Dr. Hamid said in his lecture, the following are the three primary motivators for jihadists: ...

Oliver Stone's new film...

will be about Ahmadinejad, if the latter gives him permission.

Hmm, what will be the film about?

Well, he hasn't given many indications about it, but, considering his film about Castro, we can safely say, it will be a disaster.

At the same time, an Iranian film, Persepolis, has been expelled from a Malaysian film exhibition, after a requirement from Iranian embassy.

The reason? It is about a 6-year-old girl in 1979. Islamic Revolution begins. She is outspoken and intelligent. And she even spokes out against the Moral Guardians of the Revolution.

Don't do business with companies that do business with terrorist states

Judith Apter Klinghoffer is quite right that there needs to be pressure put upon companies that do business with terror sponsoring states. But most importantly, those with common sense should not be doing business with them at all. Or, put another way, don't buy from businesses that do deals with places like Iran, Dubai, and such. Here's a list of companies that are worth avoiding if you can.

Live From Glasgow: It's the Itchy and Scratchy Show.

Two men rammed a burning truck into the aeroport at Glasgow in an attempt to commit mass-murder. They were Muslims. For a number of people opining on the Internet this is like watching television. They see it from a distance, an emotional and intellectual distance, and feel they should tell the rest of us the Truth of the exercise, that it's all part of a scenario begun by a grand conspiracy mastered by the secret elite of oil barons and spies from the West. People whose deepest emotions are sentimental tell us they feel the pain of others. And those same tell us they grasp the cosmic significance of the Gnostic martyrdom at play in Glasgow, that it's a protest against poverty imposed by the robber-barons of Global Capitalism. I laugh-- at this point. It leads me to wonder about what the "real truth" is.

We have to wonder what it is that possesses a number of people to grow beards and obsess over the ravings of a seventh century lunatic warlord from the end of nowhere to the point they kill others and themselves in a state of rapture. But even more bizarre is that folks in the West don't seem to be too upset about it. Letters to the editor suggest it's a conspiracy by Mossad/MI5/CIA types to make things possible for the new Brit. p.m. to further frighten voters into giving up their civil liberties so the oil companies can wring more money out of the population. And a further mystery is that the average person will listen to some arsehole like that without losing his temper and hitting the speaker as he would if one were to shout filth in a church. Isn't there any limit to the things people will endure? I guess not. Welcome to the live version of the Itchy and Scatchy Show.

"Eyewitness Jackie Kennedy, 46, described how she watched one of the occupants of the car douse himself in petrol and set himself alight.

"He had a big smirk on his face. He lifted up what appeared to be a five-litre drum, which I think had petrol in it, and set himself on fire. His clothes were melting in front of my very eyes.

"The police tried to pounce on him but he fought back and was struggling with them. It was only when a member of the public punched him in the face that the police managed to restrain him. The police were trying to spray CS gas in his face but it was not working."

Headline..Secular corrupt mafioso genocidal racists not as dedicated as religious genocidal racists

Hamas infiltrating Fatah security agencies in West Bank

RAMALLAH — The Palestinian Authority has concluded that Hamas is and has been recruiting Fatah officials in the West Bank.
PA officials said Hamas has infiltrated major security agencies loyal to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in an attempt to expand its influence. Hamas has agents in the lower and middle levels of security officers in such agencies as the Preventive Security Apparatus, civil police and National Security Forces in the West Bank.
"Hamas is doing in the West Bank what it did in the Gaza Strip," an official said. "It has infiltrated the ranks of most of the security agencies and has obtained an excellent intelligence picture."
The officials said they could not rule out that some senior Fatah officials who escaped from the Gaza Strip included Hamas double agents. Hamas has sought to use the captured Fatah infrastructure in the Gaza Strip to undermine the Abbas regime in the West Bank.

Gee, you mean we can't look forward to dealing with Mamhoud Abbas and his deniers for peace?

Of course, the problem was that the majority of Germans weren't nazis, either

LONDON (AFP) - London Mayor Ken Livingstone called on Britons Saturday not to demonize Muslims after a double car bomb plot was foiled in the capital, amid fears of a Islamist terror threat.

At the same time he criticized Britain over its ties with Saudi Arabia, which he said had fuelled intolerance in the past through its Wahhabist form of Islam, creating a "major problem."

"In this city, Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends than non-Muslims," he told BBC Radio.

He noted that terrorist acts had been carried out in London over the years by various groups including for example far-right groups. For years the British capital was wracked by violence by the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

"All I am interested in as mayor is that we try to prevent all acts of violence whether it is by a disaffected young member of the (far-right) BNP (British National Party), whether it is by an Islamist or a Wahhabist supporter," he said.

No one doubts that the majority of muslims' consciences are STRICKEN, but that is NOT the point. Someone, many someones probably knew about this. This is not 5 isolated disturbed individuals who knew nothing about each other, telling no one. The point is that there is an ascendant, malignant subculture, attractive enough to a percentage-up to a plurality, which supports these actions.

That malignant subculture makes these attacks POSSIBLE, and successful.

Money. Transport. Education. Housing. Infrastucture (like stealing and hiding vehicles being prepared).

Livingstone is a useless.......
