Top Islamic Site Calls for the Final Jihad

LogansWarning, Europe News.dk

While we Western non-Muslims are arguing amongst ourselves, as to whether there really is an Islamic threat, Muslims are uniting against us. Today the top ranked Islamic site Khalifah Institute, put out the call for the final jihad. The site had 184,800 visitors recorded today. They call it the final jihad, because the Western and Islamic worlds, have been down this road before. I have been warning people to this threat for years, and others have been doing the same for decades now. The end result is that many have woken up, but we still have not found our collective spine to fight this threat. The best most non-Muslims are doing is completely ignoring the problem, catering to Islam, or calling those that do speak out “racists”.

Islam is not race, and calling me a racist does not make the problem go away. It is much more than religion, it is a supremacist ideology that calls for the dominance of non-Muslims.

YUSUFALI: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Another excuse that I hear frequently is that Muslims are nowhere near the majority in the West. This does not matter though, as they never stop pushing, and the Koran instructs them that they do not have to be anywhere the majority to defeat the enemy.

YUSUFALI: O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.

The day is soon coming when non-Muslims will have only three choices, convert to Islam, accept Islamic rule and live as a second-class citizen, or die. Take a look in the mirror. Do you have it in you to stand up for life as we know it, for your families future generations? They are counting on you.

Here is a glimpse of our children’s future under Islamic rule.

The Ultimate Mohammed Critical Portrait

Almost everyone is drawing Mohammed these days. Well, I decided to draw the ultimate critical piece of Mohammed art portraiture in history. You'll see, dear art snob, that I have thrown at Mohammed the last criticism possible. I can't do better, and I challenge others to even try to out-do this devastating rendering of Mohammed. Here he is, criticised to death and beyond:

Freedom, my ASBO

England has a law under which, if one hasn't committed a crime, there's still a way for the courts to toss a man in gaol. It's the ASBO. Today we see the Brits have nabbed a fellow for mentioning (among other things,) in hand-made leaflets left at an aero port that Muslims are causing trouble at aero ports. Uh-oh, Mr. Taylor. Hands up. It's the P.C. police!

What Would Boobquake Day Be Without. . .

Holy Mackeral!

Ottowa Citizen:

Temblor strikes Taiwan on 'Boobquake' day

OTTAWA — Maybe the Iranian cleric had a point.

As women around the world bared their cleavage Monday in an event dubbed ‘Boobquake,’ a strong earthquake measuring 6.9 struck southeast of Taiwan.

That’s exactly what Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi warned would happen, when he recently blamed earthquakes on immodest female clothing.

"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Sedighi, who apparently counts seismology among his hobbies, told Iranian media on April 16.

“Boobquake” is the brainchild of Jen McCreight, a 22-year-old Purdue University student, who called for the satirical protest in a blog posting.

Out of frustration, McCreight took to her blog to promote Boobquake as a way for "other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts."

"With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake," she wrote on her blog (www.blaghag.com). "If not, I'm sure Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn't rumble."

With the help of Facebook and Twitter, word of Boobquake travelled fast and, within 24 hours, had recruited tens of thousands of supporters.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Monday’s struck at a depth of 10 kilomeres, 314 km kilometres southeast of Taiwan and northeast of the Batan Islands in the Philippines.

McCreight, who calls herself as “a liberal, geeky, nerdy, scientific, perverted atheist feminist trapped in Indiana” on her blog, noted Monday’s quake but was waiting for more evidence to judge Sedighi’s theory proved.

“No, the Taiwan earthquake is not statistically significant - yet. If we get many of a similar magnitude in the next 24 hours, then we might start worshipping the power of immodesty,” she wrote.

There were no reports of injuries in Monday’s quake.

The Governing Class' Childish and Vicious Definition of Racism

Imagine the reaction if a Republican specifically urged white men to turn out at the polls like they've never done before.

An excellent essay ...

From Ace:

As Gabe posted below, Obama is urging all Americans to turn out for the polls in November to create a historic level of participation among all colors, races and creeds.

Well, not so much, of course. He wants "young people, blacks, Lations and women" to show up at the polls. White men needn't bother.

Is this racist? If the liberals' typical definition of racism were applied consistently, of course it would be racist. But of course it's not applied consistently. Racism is something white people, and Republican white people in particular, do. Liberals and especially black liberals are incapable of being racist.

If Obama's exhortations for only some of the electorate to participate in democracy sounds racist to you, why, that's probably a defect in you character -- and, in fact, probably evidence of a deep-seated, subconscious streak of racism in you yourself.

But that's just the standard-issue double-standard we all know and loathe. There's another disturbing element to it -- the automatic presumption among the privileged class that wherever blacks and whites diverge in political thought, it must be whites who are in the wrong, and not only in the wrong, but almost certainly motivated by racism.

But if it's not racist or wrong for blacks to generally vote according to the perceived "black economic interest," why is it wrong for whites to do the same? This is rarely explained, and when it is explained, it usually amounts to little more than rationalized ipse dixit restatement of the double-standard. It's wrong for whites to vote according to their perceived economic interest because they benefit from "white skin privilege" and they are the "dominant social group," upon whom a greater burden of acting for the greater good is placed, etc. Asked to defend the huge assumption of the rightness of a racial double-standard, academics tend to simply dream up closely-related assumptions and assert them (and claim those assumptions, in turn, "prove" the assumption they were asked to prove in the first place).

Let's not be childish about this. We are instructed every day that blacks are poorer than whites. There is no lack of evidence for this fact. It is therefore no surprise at all that blacks should generally favor wealth redistributionist policies more than whites, as blacks, being poorer, will tend to pay less into such a regime and receive more benefits out of it. Nor is it any surprise that whites should generally oppose such policies, as whites, being richer, will tend to pay more into such a regime and receive less.

There is hardly any cause here for liberals interested in honest, civil debate -- which they all to a man assure me is all they care about lately -- to scream "racism" over differences in white and black opinions over Obama's wealth-redistributionist agenda. You can call opponents of it greedy (but then, how are poorer blacks who are to be favored under that system any less greedy than whites, given that both are acting according to the precise same factor -- perceived personal net-economic self-interest?), but you can hardly brand someone "racist" for wanting to have an extra two or three thousand dollars.

Go read the whole thing.

Hamas Branches Out

By adding an "art wing" (from Honest Reporting):
According to Reuters, Hamas now has an "art" wing, to join its armed and political wings.
Wielding art instead of arms, Hamas issued an animated video on Sunday aimed at pressuring Israel into trading hundreds of jailed Palestinians for Gilad Shalit, a soldier held captive in Gaza for almost four years.
"Wielding art" sounds so innocuous. If a manipulative propaganda video is a sign of Islamic moderation, what's all the fuss about South Park?
Any minute, I expect BHO to say, "See what good comes of reaching out to the Muslim world? Now, Hamas has discovered art appreciation." Pffft!

Creator of “Everyone Draw Mohammed Day” Now Says She Wants Nothing to do With it, Declares Herself an “Idiot”

Way to stand up for what you believe in….

Via LA Times

“Everybody Draw Muhammad Day?”

As South Park’s Sheila Broflovski would say: “What, What, WHAT?”

The outcry from Comedy Central’s decision to censor an episode of SouthPark with depictions of Muhammad last week led a cartoonist and a Facebook user to fight back. That is until they realized it might be controversial, apparently.

In declaring May 20th to be “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day,” Seattle artist Molly Norris created a poster-like cartoon showing many objects — from a cup of coffee to a box of pasta to a tomato — all claiming to be the likeness of Muhammad.

Such depictions are radioactive as many Muslims believe that Islamic teachings forbid showing images of Muhammad.

“I am Mohammed and I taste good,” says the pasta box in the cartoon. On top of the cartoon images (but no longer on her website) was an announcement explaining the rationale behind the event.

“In light of the recent veiled (ha!) threats aimed at the creators of the television show South Park (for depicting Mohammed in a bear suit) by bloggers on Revolution Muslim’s website, we hereby deemed May 20, 2010 as the first annual “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day,” the original artwork reads.

On Friday, Norris told a radio talk show host in Seattle that she came up with the idea because “as a cartoonist, I just felt so much passion about what had happened…” noting that “it’s a cartoonist’s job to be non-PC.”

That passion, it appears, has lessened. And fast.

Her stark website todayreads: “”I am NOT involved in “Everybody Draw Mohammd [sic] Day!”

“I made a cartoon that went viral and I am not going with it. Many other folks have used my cartoon to start sites, etc. Please go to them as I am a private person who draws stuff,” she writes.

It went viral, however, because she was the one who passed it around. Sending it to people like Dan Savage, a popular Seattle-based blogger and nationally syndicated sex advice columnist.

Once it became a national story she reeled back, asking Savage — in an email he provided to The Ticket — if he would “be kind enough to switch out my poster” with another one — a much tamer version which has no images attributed to Muhammad.

“I am sort of freaked out about my name/image being all over the place,” her e-mail reads.

He didn’t change it, nor did he post the tamer version. Besides, after Savage posted it, many other sites picked it up including The Atlantic and Reason.

When asked about her change of heart, Norris told The Ticket that she didn’t intend for the cartoon “to go viral.”

Then why did she send the cartoon to the media in the first place? ”Because I’m an idiot,” Norris replied.

“This particular cartoon of a ‘poster’ seems to have struck a gigantic nerve, something I was totally unprepared for,” she said.

She doesn’t appear to be alone. The creator of a Facebook page dedicated to the day has bowed out as well. Jon Wellington told the Washington Post(before abandoning ship) that he created the page because he “loved [Norris's] creative approach to the whole thing — whimsical and nonjudgmental.”


WE DON'T NEED HER, DO WE, MY FRIENDS?

It's Boobquake Day!


A short while ago Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi said tatas cause tremors.

I know they do in me.

“Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,” Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media.
So Purdue University student Jennifer McCreight went and declared today International Boobquake Day.


Women should get out there and show their stuff. The more stuff the better.

All scientific, you know, either prove or disprove the clerics theory. Hey, if it's for the betterment of science and society. . .








And while you're at it, why not protest Fox Network's and (I think) CBS's bannig of this commercial for showing too much skin. I mean really, have they watched their own primetime lineup lately?

Leave the Adjective Out

The joke itself is pretty innocuous as jokes go. And it would be just as funny (ok, it's not really that funny anyway) without using the word Jewish.

But it comes from Obama's National Security Advisor James Jones, known to be no friend of Jews or Israel, as opening remarks in a speech at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

Of course the Administration scrubbed the remarks from the official transcript. . .

Do you think he would have told this joke and used a Muslim merchant instead? Or had the merchant been black?



Pastorius cutting in:

Roger Simon comments,

The National Security Adviser’s tasteless sense of humor makes him seem like a complete yahoo – and one who is hostile to Jews to a degree he probably doesn’t even realize himself. And all this in the midst of the Obama Administration’s heavy-handed muscling of Israel in an attempt to reignite Middle East negotiations. And in front of the Washington Institute For Near East Policy, no less.

This must be another bad day of clean-up for Messrs. Emanuel and Axelrod. Or maybe they are too reified even to be insulted anymore. But imagine a similar joke being told about just about any racial and/or religious group by a National Security Adviser. There would be consternation in the White House.

So what about our President? He sees fit to bring people together over beer for a minor racial dispute (if there was one) between a cop and college professor. This is a key member of his administration involved in crucial foreign policy. What will the President’s reaction be? Or won’t there be any?
Personally, I say the joke is not funny because it has no context. There are no Jews in Afghanistan. Well, there is one, I believe.

If the joke took place in New York, with a Queens-based Jewish merchant selling a country bumpkin a tie so he could go to Manhattan, that would be another story. At least, then, there would be some context.

But, being that there is only one Jew in Afghanistan (if, indeed, he is still alive), the joke reads a bit like telling a joke about a Jewish merchant selling underwear to Jews before they get on the trains to Auschwitz.

Point being, why would there be a Jewish merchant at the train station to Auschwitz?

Furthermore, one has to wonder if the lack of context means that, de facto, the joke is outight anti-Semitic. For, if Jones sees Jewish merchants pushing their wares ("ruthlessly"?) in places where Jews don't even exist as a culture, one has to wonder if perhaps he thinks there are Jews hiding behind every corner in the world, just waiting to take over the economy and convert us all into Neocons?

Man With Gun Arrested At Airport as Obama Departs

His name is Joseph Sean McVey and he is being held at the Buncombe County Jail. You just can't make this stuff up, folks, alas.

Armed Man Arrested at Airport as Obama Departs
Associated Press

An Ohio man has been charged after authorities spotted him with a gun in a North Carolina airport parking lot as Air Force One was departing Sunday afternoon.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- An armed man spotted at a North Carolina airport parking lot just after Air Force One departed Sunday told an officer he wanted to see the president and had a car equipped with police gear, including a siren and flashing lights, authorities said.

Joseph Sean McVey, 23, of Coshocton, Ohio, is charged with going armed in terror of the public, a misdemeanor, said Asheville Regional Airport Police Capt. Kevan Smith.

Security was heightened at the airport because President Barack Obama was leaving after spending the weekend vacationing in Asheville. He was headed to a memorial service for 29 West Virginia coal miners killed in an explosion.

At about 2 p.m., airport police saw McVey get out of a maroon car with Ohio plates and that he had a sidearm, Smith said. Both airport police and the Secret Service questioned him and he was taken into custody. The suspect was nowhere near the president's plane, which had just departed, and was in a rental car return lot that is open to the public, Smith said.

His car was equipped with clear LED law enforcement-style strobe lights in the front and rear dash, Smith said. The car also had a mounted digital camera in the front window, four large antennas on the trunk lid, and under the steering wheel was a working siren box. Smith said McVey was not in law enforcement.

When McVey got out of the car, he was listening to a handheld scanner and radio that had a remote earpiece, Smith said. Police said he was monitoring local agencies and had formulas for rifle scopes on a note in his cup holder. Police did not immediately elaborate on what the formulas might mean and Smith was not available to comment late Sunday.

McVey gave authorities an Ohio driver's license, but a computer check failed to show the number was valid, police said. His hometown of Coshocton is about halfway between Pittsburgh and Columbus, Ohio.

When Officer Kaleb Rice asked him what he was doing, McVey told him he heard the president was in town and wanted to see him.

Rice removed the firearm and took McVey into custody. He was being held at the Buncombe County jail on $100,000 bond.


The investigation into what McVey was doing with a gun, with formulas for rifle scopes and why his car was equipped with police gear was continuing, Smith said. The Secret Service had no comment on the arrest, deferring to airport police.

A jail officer said it didn't appear McVey had an attorney.
