Joanne Dow is a very old friend. She is a communications engineer, a veteran of the Genie days, and has a wealth of experience.

She has taken up the task of documenting the subject of Islam, particularly as regards women. I do not agree with everything she says. Joanne has both detractors and fans. Her diatribes tend to be long, and there are a lot of them, so I have decided to give them their own pages. This is the second such page. The first is here.

I will fill in some past editions over time. I also update this in batches rather than daily.

I want to make it clear that I do not agree with everything she says, and my views of Islam vary depending on the country and the sect. Joanne generally concentrates on finding the most extreme positions, and it would be easy reading only her posts to get a false impression of the world situation. I'm willing to publish replies but they must be in a reasonable format, at reasonable length, and in language no more intemperate than she employs.

My Turkish friends in particular are appalled at her diatribes. I understand. Most Turkish intellectuals support the Turkish constitution which mandates a secular state, and would strenuously resist imposition of sharia and other strict interpretations of Muslim law. This is not what Joanne complains of. Those who have long known me know that I have a high regard for the Turkish Army. Turkey sent troops to our aid in Korea, and I for one will never forget that.

I post her diatribes because she finds incidents that ought to be thought alarming by everyone, Christian, Muslim, secular humanist, atheist, or indeed anyone civilized.

The on-stage "dry rapist", Akon, is suffering some fallout from the Al Sharpton treatment of Don Imus. Verizon is pulling their sponsorship of his recordings as ring tones and of a concert tour. They are also, it seems, pulling sponsorship for a Gwen Stefani tour that featured Akon as the opening act. It is Akon and the rappers like him who refer to black girls and women as "nappy headed ho's". They are the ones who put the phrase into Imus's head from which they so inopportunely erupted leading to his firing (and lawsuit about the firing.) Akon should thank Sharpton for waking a sleeping dragon there. Conservatives are fuming. And Akon is most massively misbehaving. "Gotcha, donkey dung!"

Giggle time here: It seems that rumors are circulating in Gitmo that many of the pro-bono lawyers wanting the "fame" of defending the detainees are gay or Jewish. So the prisoners are having nothing to do with them. It is sort of pleasant to see them hoist by their own petard of religious bigotry. After all, their reason for being there in the first place is their tendency to act out their bigotry that is a part of their basic faith.

I don't agree with See-Dubya at HotAir in his assessment that this is "Sad" in the title below. I have to admit, however, that seeing it as a giggle thing may be a little cruel on my part. It just seems appropriate when a bad person refuses a lifeline in an attempt to spring him from his imprisonment because of that which makes him bad in the first place.

Over on Islam Watch they have published Joseph C. Meyers' review of (Pakistani) Brigadier S. K. Malik's "The Quranic Concept of War". This is the Mohammedan equivalent, perhaps, of Carl von Clausewitz' "Vom Kriege" ("On War").

One of the first points that Meyers brings to the fore is that it SEEMS as though nobody in the military, state department, or government has compiled any body of knowledge about how Mohammedans, the terrorists we are fighting, face, conceive of, and practice war. Makik's book is an excellent starting point. The short form is something like, "As with every other aspect of life the Qur'an also governs war."

Then he goes on to reveal how the Qur'an declares war as horrible and absolute evil EXCEPT if it is in defense of Mohammedanism or advances Mohammedanism towards converting the entire world to Mohammedanism. The following is an important paragraph from Meyer's article in this regard. It defines jihad.

The exegesis of the term jihad is often debated. Some apologists make clear that nowhere in the Quran does the term "Holy War" exist; that is true, but it is also irrelevant. War in Islam is either just or unjust and that justness depends on the ends of war. Brohi, and later Malik, make clear that the ends of war in Islam or jihad are to fulfill God's divine purpose. Not only should that be a holy purpose, it must be a just war in order to be "Holy War."

Bluntly speaking, the goal is to fight until the world is Mohammedan. There is no defeat acknowledged as even being possible. Jihad, working towards the end goal, never ceases and cannot cease while even one solitary Mohammedan is still alive. Note that there is nothing which declares this. Instead the Qur'an makes it clear that this cannot happen because it is God's declared will that Mohammedans take over the world. Therefore this level of ultimate defeat is impossible. It is literally a thought that the Mohammedan indoctrinated mind can entertain.

Meyers reveals Malik discussing the nature of war:

Malik argues that the "nature and dimension of war" is the greatest single characteristic of Quranic warfare and distinguishes it from all other doctrines. He acknowledges Clausewitz's contribution to the understanding of warfare in its moral and spiritual context. The moral forces of war, as Clausewitz declared, are perhaps the most important aspects in war. Reiterating that Muslims are required to wage war "with the spirit of religious duty and obligation," the author makes it clear that in return for fighting in the way of Allah, divine, angelic assistance will be rendered to jihad warriors and armies. At this point The Quranic Concept of War moves beyond the metaphysical to the supernatural element, unlike anything found in western doctrine. Malik highlights the fact that divine assistance requires "divine standards" on the part of the warrior mujahideen for the promise of Allah's aid to be met.

Consider that even a "threat" of an "impediment" to spreading the doctrine is a casus belli the state of war in Mohammedanism is perpetual. You can not define an end. All you can do is define levels and kinds of hostilities.

Then we have four very important paragraphs in today's context:

Malik uses examples to demonstrate that Allah will strike "terror into the hearts of Unbelievers." At this point he begins to develop his most controversial and conjectural Quranic theory related to warfare - the role of terror. Readers need to understand that the author is thinking and writing in strategic terms, not in the vernacular of battles or engagements. Malik continues, "when God wishes to impose His will on his enemies, He chooses to do so by casting terror into their hearts." He cites another verse, "against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts) of the enemies of Allah . . . ." Malik's strategic synthesis is specific: "the Quranic military strategy thus enjoins us to prepare ourselves for war to the utmost in order to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies, known or hidden, while guarding ourselves from being terror-stricken by the enemy." Terror is an effect; the end-state.

Malik identifies the center of gravity in war as the "human heart, [man's] soul, spirit, and Faith." Note that Faith is capitalized, meaning more than simple moral courage or fortitude. Faith in this sense is in the domain of religious and spiritual faith; this is the center of gravity in war. The main weapon against this Islamic concept of center of gravity is "the strength of our own souls . . . [keeping] terror away from our own hearts." In terms of achieving decisive and direct decisions preparing for this type of battlefield first requires "creating a wholesome respect for our Cause"-the cause of Islam. This "respect" must be seeded in advance of war and conflict in the minds of the enemies. Malik then introduces the informational, psychological, or perception management concepts of warfare. Echoing Sun Tzu, he states, that if properly prepared, the "war of muscle," the physical war, will already be won by "the war of will." "Respect" therefore is achieved psychologically by, as Brohi suggested earlier, "beautiful" and "handsome ways" or by the strategic application of terror.

When examining the theme of the preparatory stage of war, Malik talks of the "war of preparation being waged . . . in peace," meaning that peacetime preparatory activities are in fact part of any war and "vastly more important than the active war." This statement should not be taken lightly, it essentially means that Islam is in a perpetual state of war while peace can only be defined as the absence of active war. Malik argues that peace-time training efforts should be oriented on the active war(s) to come, in order to develop the Quranic and divine "Will" in the mujahid. When armies and soldiers find limited physical resources they should continue and emphasize the development of the "spiritual resources" as these are complimentary factors and create synergy for future military action.

Malik's most controversial dictum is summarized in the following manner: in war, "the point where the means and the end meet" is in terror. He formulates terror as an objective principal of war; once terror is achieved the enemy reaches his culminating point. "Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon the enemy; it is the decision we wish to impose . . . ." Malik's divine principal of Islamic warfare may be restated as "strike terror; never feel terror." The ultimate objective of this form of warfare "revolves around the human heart, [the enemies] soul, spirit, and Faith." Terror "can be instilled only if the opponent's Faith is destroyed . . . . It is essential in the ultimate analysis, to dislocate [the enemies] Faith." Those who are firm in their religious conviction are immune to terror, "a weak Faith offers inroads to terror." Therefore, as part of preparations for jihad, actions will be oriented on weakening the non-Islamic's "Faith," while strengthening the Islamic's. What that weakening or "dislocation" entails in practice remains ambiguous. Malik concludes, "Psychological dislocation is temporary; spiritual dislocation is permanent." The soul of man can only be touched by terror.

Islam Watch has posted an article by Dr. Furnish which goes into detail about the origins of the rampant anti-semitism manifested by the Mohammedan religion and its adherents. This is not a new phenomenon. Furnish tracks it back to its beginnings with Mohammed himself as early as 622 CE.

Dr. Furnish cautions about making too broad a judgment of the descriptions of Mohammed's treatment of prisoners of war.

Now, this was a brutal time and a brutal society, in many ways. And in his treatment of "unbelievers" Muhammad is not unlike some of the divinely-sanctioned rulers in the Hebrew Scriptures, such as Joshua or David. (He is, however, most unlike the Jesus of the New Testament.) Nonetheless, there is no getting around the fact that the man whom Muslims believe to have been God's last spokesman on Earth not only denigrated, but ordered the slaughter of, his fellow monotheists - and this long before the Theodore Herzl, David Ben-Gurion or Ariel Sharon ever existed.

I observe here that the Jewish religion has outgrown such barbaric practices many centuries ago. The Mohammedan religion has not and perhaps cannot outgrow this. First the Qur'an requires violence towards Jews and utter intolerance of them. Second Mohammed is declared as the ideal man for all Mohammedans to emulate. He performed these despicable deeds. So this must be Allah's will even today. Thus while the Jews could and did outgrow the early Old Testament violence the Mohammedans have not and by all indications will never outgrow their violence unless they discard most of their holy documents. (Over 97% of the Qur'an's mention of jihad involve violent jihad, for example.)

I recommend reading the whole article, of course.

Last week the BBC reported that Britain's MI5 intelligence service was monitoring at least 2,000 terror suspects in the UK.

Just who is the bigots here? David Horowitz and Robert Spencer took out an ad in the Emory University student newspaper, "A Public Service Announcement by the Terrorism Awareness Project." It criticized Jihad by listing things it is with cites from Osama bin Laden and Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Emory U officials jumped immediately to the conclusion that this was offensive to some people on campus citing "expressions of a selective, reductive, and hurtful nature toward particular groups on the Emory campus,..." And then they proceeded to condemn it.

As I see it the act of the Emory officials drawing any conclusion that the advertisement was offensive to particular groups on the Emory campus they were THEMSELVES bigots. The advertisement specifically criticizes violent Jihad and specific radical Mohammedans who practice violent Jihad. It singles out no other group, no race, no religion, no color, not even any degree of hair straightness. What group on the Emory campus would be offended? Do they have people on campus who practice Jihad? If they do there is, based on frequency of mention, a 97% chance that these people are violent Jihadis. Are thugs and criminals a protected group that Emory University wishes not to annoy? Or did the Emory officials make the logical error that since all Jihadis are Mohammedans that all Mohammedans must be either Jihadis or angered by references to violent Jihad as practiced by radical Mohammedans? Do they fail to realize moderate Mohammedans DO exist and recognize that the Jihad, as the radicals practice it, is inherently violent?

Emory University must either be bigots or are tacitly admitting that they have active Jihadis on campus. Either way that university is in deep Bandini (tm). (Bandini is THE name for um er fertilizer....)

His declared perception was off in dream-land with little or no connection to reality.

He provides some useful perceptions.

Susan MacAllen has a nice article up on Islam Watch today that zeros in on enigmatic Turkey, it's legacy from the 1400s and its more modern legacy of secularism from Mustafa Kamel Ataturk. She describes the slow inroads the imams are making in Turkey, how it is impossible for those who are not Mohammedan to construct places of worship, and how the military has, in the past, enforced Turkey's secular Constitution in the face of attacks from zealots who have insinuated themselves into the government.

Turkey bears watching. It's future will be very important to us as well as its own citizens.

A person at Jerry Pournelle's site commented about my diatribes and mentioned Palestinian Media Watch as a good source of rather damning information for the Mohammedans and Palestinians in particular. The direct link to PMW is first below followed to the link to Jerusalem Post that "ariel" provided.

I'll make a couple notes about my coverage here. PWM would be used more as a source if I had an extra half hour or so to fit it into my browse schedule, which is overly large already. The sources I tend to use are also either good sources with direct reference to primary sources to back their dialogs. I try to spend a fair amount of time trying to find people who are working to abate the menace from within Mohammedanism. That may give an impression that the danger is not as great as it is in reality. These ARE people who need consideration and support. I also am not bashful about sounding quite "extreme" or "alarmist" from time to time. The message needs to get out. And the more it scares people into action the better UNTIL it gets so bad they are not moved towards rational action. This is why I stress "act now rather than later." If we act later the mess will be worse and the actions we must take will be more drastic with the potential worst case being massive nuclear attacks and our army active in our country to protect us from militarily armed jihadis - and an attendant suspension of all aspects of our privacy. (Not that I don't see computers producing that latter state of affairs with or without government intervention. But that is a whole different rant.)

There are some key points I try to make. The first point recognizes that the basic documentation for Mohammedanism stresses violence, hatred for non-Mohammedans, the destruction or subjugation of infidels, the utter lack of most of the rights we consider important, the often extreme mistreatment of women, and so forth. What I see in Mohammedanism is a virtual negation of most things the secular Christian West holds dearest to its heart. A second point that I probably should deal with more often is the little detail that the Mohammedans are out breeding us. (In this regard it might be to our benefit to create a really solid percentage based tax credit for each child born to a tax payer. The credit should be constant across the board. Consider it a "remove the market" anti-abortion tool as well as an anti-Jihadi tool.) A third point is that I do recognize that there are Mohammedans who really just want to get on with their lives and live in peace. To a real extent they are apostates as the Jihadis argue so effectively that their children are easily turned to radicalism. These are people who draw comfort, somehow, from Mohammedanism and do not want to reject it; but, they also find the violent aspects of Mohammedanism rather disgusting. We need to find a way to help them. There are other points. These are the ones at the forefront of my thoughts today.

Another point I have been toying with quite gently even in my own mind is the concept that it may be time to attack Mohammedanism's basis. There are aspects of Mohammedan history that are at least as murky the process by which the Bible was trimmed down to the King James version that most Christians use. Non-Mohammedans need to study the era in which the Qur'an was stabilized and written down and loudly note that this is a potential hole in the entire picture. We also must note that the Hadiths and Sunnah are most definitely not the direct word of Allah. We also must examine the Qur'an or at least take advantage of non-Mohammedan experts who have spent a great deal of effort to master it and openly discuss its basic internal nonsense, raise the suspicion that "Allah" and Mohammed were in reality the same individual, and note the Qur'an's basic errors of fact. (Now, errors of fact don't stop a religion. But they do sow some doubt. Un, I look at "Creation Science" when I say this. {^_-}) This falls basically into my suggestion that Mohammedans are VERY sensitive to criticism of the "religion" so it may be time to heavily criticize and even ridicule the "religion". Certainly heavy criticism is called for. A LOT more cartoons may be called for. And we need to point out in detail its hypocrisies, particularly about depictions of Mohammed. There is quite a portfolio of images of Mohammed by Mohammedan artists that should be exposed every time they whine about it being improper to depict anybody let alone Mohammed.

Basically - we need to do something. Now is better than later. I'd invite "ariel" to take up the effort as well. The more people urging that we deal with Mohammedans and providing unimpeachable evidence of why the better.

(Note, Palestinian Media Watch is distinct from Palestine Media Watch. The former one is the one in the Jerusalem Post article and is the better one for primary "what the Palestinians are saying publicly". Between the Palestinian Media Watch page and MEMRI you can get a really good idea of what the Mohammedans are really saying publicly on their media. Sometimes it helps to see this for yourself.)

From the shoot yourself in the foot department we have the recent firing or discharge of 56 Arab linguists from the military because they are gay. We underutilize the non-Mohammedan Arabic speakers we have in this country. We are vastly understaffed for Arabic translators and speakers. And because of superstitions we should have gotten over decades ago when it became apparent that sexual orientation is not an infinitely malleable "choice" we've just summarily tossed 56 of the valuable resources we have been using who performed honorably causing no divisiveness in the ranks but were gay. That has got to be one of the stupidest things our military has done in this entire war. Was this because of an order from the top, the very top, or simple rigid unforgiving and stupid "policy?" Who has the proximate responsibility for this monumental act of asininities? I want to include him in my anti-prayers, figuratively speaking. If God helps those who get up and make their ultimate efforts to help themselves then we have just lost God from our team.

It is bad enough we apparently tossed a Chaldean Christian Iraqi trying to reach the US and safety who could have been an excellent translator for the military. (I am speaking of the young fellow that Todd Bensma back traced to Iraq from the US border near Brownsville in the article cited by Hugh Hewitt that I cited yesterday.) One could argue that was one person stupid. This is 56 person stupid, monumentally stupid. The United States of America is its own worst, most lethal enemy.

Hugh Hewitt has several articles on the immigration compromise bill. I remain unconvinced. And with the government's past record with the 1986 bill which was never implemented that this bill is a non-starter. The probationary "floppy card" or "not-a-Z-visa" given right off the bat is a stopping point right there. The failure to slam shut the southern border with a serious large scale construction process before doing ANYTHING else is a non-starter.

We have inside what we have. The sooner we stop the flow the smaller the additional number of bad as well as "acceptable" new problems come across the border. Once we stabilize the leak we can work to stabilize what we have inside.

Building up the border patrol takes too long. The Border Patrol people cite problems training up new agents to the Spanish language proficiency desired. I will admit that this is probably far more training than a simple high school class. It'd be good if the agents recognized accents as well as the words and meanings. Perhaps higher pay and less risk of incarceration might be a good thing. And perhaps they should not be imprisoned with the general prison population. A military prison, as befits their quasi military role as armed agents, would be a better place to put them. They might live through their terms of imprisonment. (I do not really expect the two agents imprisoned recently over a procedural violation will live out their terms.)

We also MUST drop the "politically correct" nonsense of treating illegal immigrants from "special interest", terrorist, nations the same as those from other nations where economic reasons for the immigration are more likely. Two groups come from the terrorist nations, good people who are trying to escape (Todd Bensman's example illegal immigrant, for example) and bad people trying to sneak in and set themselves up as sleeper agents with malign purposes ahead.

The provisional piece of floppiness (read the Kyle interview) needs to have an expiration date on it as a spur to the government to push the completion of the border fence and the full staffing needed to sanely handle the Z visa processes in less than 16 years of sitting in a filing cabinet awaiting an agent with time to act on it.

And finally, there are other staffing issues way beyond those of the Border Patrol which must be dealt with. Not ONE provisional floppy or whatever visa should be issued until we have trained staff to weed out the bad ones right off the top. There must be a procedure to take the potentially bad ones, segregate them, examine them in more if not complete detail, and make a reasonable decision whether or not they get the visa even if this takes three weeks or two months. We want very much to avoid giving terrorists a "get in and out of America free" card of any sort.

Note the Todd Bensman article's animated graphic link in this next link to Hugh Hewitt. The very last thing you see if you track it though is the route from the Middle East through Canada into the US through our Northern Border. Also note the interview.

When considering what to do about the illegal aliens from Mexico who are in this country consider this point from Bensman's interview with Hewitt.

TB: Well, that's what Mexico's new ambassador told me in an interview a couple of months ago, when I asked him about special interest aliens, which is a bureaucratic term with which he was immediately familiar. He was very intimately familiar with that term, and everything about them, which tells you something right there. And he acknowledged that if one of these guys is a bad guy and gets through, there's going to be a problem. They're going to shut down that border, and there's going to be a disruption in the $25 billion dollars worth of remittances that go back, and that is their primary national interest.

People have been decrying the Z-visa and the worker visa plans. Such a plan is absolutely required if we are going to keep Mexico on the team. It is that simple. This is REALLY big money to them. This is why I have made the suggestion that a sorter 2 year visa renewable after a year at home might be better than 4 years and a year at home. Or even better might be seasonal visas for the harvest season that are infinitely renewable each year allowing the worker to go home to his family after harvest season with a nice package of wages. We can use the workers. They can use the money. The synergy is a good one, especially if we make it Mexico only as explicit recognition that Mexico is on the team.

"We pray that Israel would come back and rule us again," says one tired and incredibly disgusted Palestinian. He is tired enough of the whole thing to utter this incredible sentence and risk death over it. That is how bad the Hamas violence has gotten over there. Palestine is a nation that died as it was born. It needs a proper burial. Maybe Israel SHOULD go back with the proviso that "you tell us who are the Hamas terrorists and we will eliminate them for you." Then the Israelis should also utterly control the education and media in Palestine to literally brain wash them into being civilized people. It might be a very interesting experiment if the street Palestinians are disgusted enough with the Jihadis. (Strange, that would not be all that different from what we are doing in Iraq's roughest areas today. And it seems to be working.) 1:40 is the magic time code marker. But the entire clip is short and worth it to get a feel for how desperate it has become in Palestine today.

I started this whole thing because of outrageous falsifications of news reporting in the Main Stream Media due to a pervasive far left bias. That led to LittleGreenFootballs at the time. This was during the recent Israeli retaliatory incursion into Lebanon to damage Hezbollah. Reporting of that affair was extremely biased (Hezbollah could do no wrong and tell no lies while Israel was supposedly bombing ambulances - both items that LGF debunked as one of the leaders of the effort.) LGF then led me to realize just how serious the Mohammedan threat was.

Here is an example of the liberal left using name calling when it can not support it's claims with facts. Tim Cavanaugh takes a round-house swing at the conservative bloggers who note that the recent Pew poll of US Mohammedans is more than a little daunting maybe even frightening. LGF took issue with the way Associated Press diddled around with its headline for the story. Cavanaugh claimed LGF was "hoppin' mad" some AP word manipulation on their headline for the recent frightening Pew poll of US Mohammedans. Liberal bias? I'd say more like liberal hatred for conservatives.

(Frightening not because I think we'd lose to US Mohammedan Jihadis but because we might go so far as to wipe them out if pushed too far. I do not want to be a party to that; but, if driven to that extremity I'd be in their doing what I could to facilitate it. We must eliminate the radicals now lest we have to destroy them all later. {o.o})

LittleGreenFootballs led me other blogs. LGF and Michelle Malkin led me to JihadWatch where Robert Spencer holds forth with a few associates. Today he is officially mourning the passing of one of the foremost moderate voices in modern Pakistan, Tashbih Sayyed. Voices against the Jihadi Mohammedan movement do exist and some are courageous enough to speak out, even in Mohammedan countries. Sayyed was one such gentleman.

JW: Tashbih Sayyed, 1941-2007

###

It was inevitable that Jihad Watch led me to its companion Dhimmi Watch. A Dhimmi is a non-Mohammedan who accepts complete subjugation to his Mohammedan masters. He is in essence a slave to all Mohammedans. Dhimmi Watch reports on examples of life as a Dhimmi. This report is from Iraq. As was probably inevitable the Mohammedan extremists have made life so utterly miserable to the Assyrian Christians that they have all bug abandoned all their holdings in Baghdad. According to the Qur'an there is no way for a kufir, an unbeliever, to deal with a Mohammedan as an equal. This is the sort of results we can expect if we are ever forced to surrender and are allowed to live.

From the above core group I branched out. One of the good ones these days is Micheal J. Totten. He posts an article written last year about his trip to Gaza. He tends to get close to all sides and comes out with astounding reports such as this one, today. It is very long. And it is filled with pictures. It is important background.

This is one thing from the report that caught my eye.

"Another pattern that's unusual," he said. "They use the civilian population as human shields." It's not really unusual. Hezbollah did the same thing in Lebanon. Fighters in Iraq do it there, too, although some in Iraq also deliberately murder Iraqis.

I wonder if the IDF spokesman really thought that or was simply saying something he expected would be politically correct. The Qur'an defines who is and is not a combatant. Every Mohammedan is officially a combatant against every kufir, who is by definition also a combatant. It's these little details that get you if you ignore them.

Another worthwhile offshoot of the core group is Islam Watch with its analysis articles such as this one by Ibn Warraq. He explores any possible relationship Islam might be able to have with secularism. Moslem to Western Man, "What is this thing called sec-u-lar-ism? There is no Arabic for it."

Then Islam watch has this article by Amil Imani about "Democide" in Iran. As he points out "Democide" is "The murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder." This is what is happening in Iran today. Life under a completely Sharia Shi'ite state is not pleasant or nice for the average people.

This led to side trips to excellent sites like the "Jawa Report", "Confederate Yankee", Patterico, Red State, Pajamas Media, and just a whole lot of others. Most of the core sites above have links to large numbers of different blogs that tend to be conservative. They do include links to saner Democrats as well in most cases.

 ================== Daily Diatribe 20070506 The leftist element in this country, e.g. DailyKos, is despondent over the recent French election results. Nicolas Sarkozy won. He is very unashamedly pro-American. And he clearly understands the Mohammedan threat. This has brought out the fun loving French youth in droves. Well, at least the riot loving Mohammedan youth are out in droves - rioting, of course. If you think you cannot win, threaten, If you cannot win, cheat. If cheating is not enough, whine. If whining is not enough, riot. This is what the mature French "youth" (read Mohammedan youth even though the media never spells it out in two words or less) are doing. Sarkozy won. He has vowed to take back his country. The Mohammedans are rioting. But, do remember, that this sequence is not finished yet. There is still at least one more step: If rioting is not enough, kill. Watch for it. To think that our left idolizes the French, at least under Chirac. They want our country to emulate France. Can we expect them to threaten, cheat, whine, AND riot the next time we have national elections? (I like Charles's site so I am pointing his direction. He has a nice collection of coverage.) LGF: Youthophobia in France LGF: Sarkozy Wins - A New Direction for France LGF: 'Youths' Rioting in Paris LGF: More Violence in France LGF: 'Youths' and Their Cars ### The Associated (with Terrorists) Press works very hard to avoid being critical of terrorists in any way. Charles has a prime meat example. Some Palestinian terrorists opened fire at a UN elementary school. The AP claims it is impossible to know who or why they opened fire because their faces were covered. This ignores the wee little detail that the terrorists clearly announced why they were going to shoot over bull-horns before they started shooting. Do NOT trust what comes from Associated Press if it in any away involves Mohammedans or Terrorists. For that matter I am not sure I trust AP at any level. I'd want independent corroberation even if they reported that there were 10 tornados in Kansas yesterday. LGF: Palestinians Open Fire on UN Elementary School ### I wonder what Disney thinks of this.

With this level of indoctrination can these children be saved or must they be destroyed for our own life and safety? PMW: Hamas steals Mickey Mouse image to teach hate and Islamic supremacy ### Fox News isn't all far right conservative commentators. Alan Colmes is off fairly far to the left without being wackoid left. He is strongly anti-war in Iraq. So he ends up interviewing the David Chavarria, the producer of a documentary following a marine company's tour of duty in Iraq. David and the film's director JD Johannes made it simply as a non-political documentary of the Marine unit, which Johannes used to be part of, for its tour of duty in Iraq. The intent was to cover day to day events, soldier morale, and that sort of thing. The intent was to cover the other news, what was never seen over here. We see the car bombings. We do not see the road building, the school construction, or any of the other positive things in which our troops participate with the Iraqis. Colmes was clearly a frustrated man as he tried to turn it into a political anti-war tool of some sort or find a "conservative bias" hook on which to hang claims of bias to discredit the film. It just didn't work for him. Poor fella.... {^_-} "Outside the Wire" is an important documentary. Sadly, few in this country will probably ever see it. HA: Video: “Outside the Wire” producer on H&C; Colmesy injects politics ### Michael J. Totten has a guest columnist on his blog, Noah Pollak. Noah has posted comments about a David Horovitz editorial in the Jerusalem Post. In the article Horovitz's criticism of the entire government and IDF in the post and pre Lebanon years. One interesting point dovetails neatly with the comments yesterday which highlighted Brigadier S. K. Malik's "The Quranic Concept of War." In that discussion it comes out that terror itself is an end goal of Mohammedan warfare. With that in mind this paragraph of Noah's is most telling. “In its sections on the six years preceding the [2006] conflict," Horovitz writes, "the commission tracks a process in which the IDF concedes sovereignty at the Lebanon border to Hizbullah. Nothing less. An abandonment of the elementary protection of northern Israel in the face of an extremist guerrilla army utterly committed to the defeat of Israel. … Hizbullah amassed its arsenal of missiles and rockets. It deployed along the border. And it gradually created a situation where it was able ‘to act when and how it wished, without any military response from Israel.’” It sounds like at least the government of Israel has been successfully and thoroughly terrorized, eh? MJT: What Does Winograd Say? ### By way of introduction, "Mr. (Timothy R.) Furnish, Ph.D (Islamic History), is Assistant Professor, History, Georgia Perimeter College, Dunwoody, GA 30338. Mr. Furnish is the author of Holiest Wars: Islamic Mahdis, their Jihads and Osama bin Laden (Praeger, 2005)." Islam Watch has posted an article by Dr. Furnish which goes into detail about the origins of the rampant anti-semitism manifested by the Mohammedan religion and its adherents. This is not a new phenomenon. Furnish tracks it back to its beginnings with Mohammed himself as early as 622 CE. Dr. Furnish cautions about making too broad a judgment of the descriptions of Mohammed's treatment of prisoners of war. Now, this was a brutal time and a brutal society, in many ways. And in his treatment of “unbelievers” Muhammad is not unlike some of the divinely-sanctioned rulers in the Hebrew Scriptures, such as Joshua or David. (He is, however, most unlike the Jesus of the New Testament.) Nonetheless, there is no getting around the fact that the man whom Muslims believe to have been God’s last spokesman on Earth not only denigrated, but ordered the slaughter of, his fellow monotheists — and this long before the Theodore Herzl, David Ben-Gurion or Ariel Sharon ever existed. I observe here that the Jewish religion has outgrown such barbaric practices many centuries ago. The Mohammedan religion has not and perhaps cannot outgrow this. First the Qur'an requires violence towards Jews and utter intolerance of them. Second Mohammed is declared as the ideal man for all Mohammedans to emulate. He performed these despicable deeds. So this must be Allah's will even today. Thus while the Jews could and did outgrow the early Old Testament violence the Mohammedans have not and by all indications will never outgrow their violence unless they discard most of their holy documents. (Over 97% of the Qur'an's mention of jihad involve violent jihad, for example.) I recommend reading the whole article, of course.

At any rate they are noticing a problem. They ran this scare piece last night (as you read this). LGF: BBC: 'A Warning to Britain' ### Last week the BBC reported that Britain’s MI5 intelligence service was monitoring at least 2,000 terror suspects in the UK. Today we learn that report was incorrect. The actual number of Islamic terrorists on MI5’s watch list is closer to 4,000. I wonder how many our FBI is tracking. {o.o} LGF: Britain's Rather Large Problem ### Just who is the bigots here? David Horowitz and Robert Spencer took out an ad in the Emory University student newspaper, "A Public Service Announcement by the Terrorism Awareness Project." It criticized Jihad by listing things it is with cites from Osama bin Laden and Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon. Emory U officials jumped immediately to the conclusion that this was offensive to some people on campus citing "expressions of a selective, reductive, and hurtful nature toward particular groups on the Emory campus,..." And then they proceeded to condemn it. As I see it the act of the Emory officials drawing any conclusion that the advertisement was offensive to particular groups on the Emory campus they were THEMSELVES bigots. The advertisement specifically criticizes violent Jihad and specific radical Mohammedans who practice violent Jihad. It singles out no other group, no race, no religion, no color, not even any degree of hair straightness. What group on the Emory campus would be offended? Do they have people on campus who practice Jihad? If they do there is, based on frequency of mention, a 97% chance that these people are violent Jihadis. Are thugs and criminals a protected group that Emory University wishes not to annoy? Or did the Emory officials make the logical error that since all Jihadis are Mohammedans that all Mohammedans must be either Jihadis or angered by references to violent Jihad as practiced by radical Mohammedans? Do they fail to realize moderate Mohammedans DO exist and recognize that the Jihad, as the radicals practice it, is inherently violent? Emory University must either be bigots or are tacitly admitting that they have active Jihadis on campus. Either way that university is in deep Bandini (tm). (Bandini is THE name for um er fertilizer....) JW: Emory U's Religious Left Can't Handle the Truth ### Today Michael J. Totten discusses his take on the Winograd report on the Israeli efforts in Southern Lebanon.

MJT: “Better a Thousand Israeli Invasions…” ### Susan MacAllen has a nice article up on Islam Watch today that zeros in on enigmatic Turkey, it's legacy from the 1400s and its more modern legacy of secularism from Mustafa Kamel Ataturk. She describes the slow inroads the imams are making in Turkey, how it is impossible for those who are not Mohammedan to construct places of worship, and how the military has, in the past, enforced Turkey's secular Constitution in the face of attacks from zealots who have insinuated themselves into the government. Turkey bears watching. It's future will be very important to us as well as its own citizens. IW: Turkey: At The Crossroads of Islamofascism’s Rise in the West ### {^_^} ================== Daily Diatribe 20070508 I bet there is an utterly heart broken Turkish immigrant in New Jersey today. Serdar Tatar's father is apparently a thoroughly Westernized legal immigrant from Turkey. Serdar Tatar has been arrested on terrorism charges. Muslim Tatar, the father, is described by the chef, Joseph Hosslinger, at the pizzeria that Tatar owns as being very westernized. So how is it that his son has radicalized enough to become involved in a hate plot against US soldiers at Fort Dix, NJ? I imagine he is rather heartbroken about this and bitter about the radical imams his children were exposed to at the local mosques. Read first even though it is the latest report.

Nobody told that to the plotters who expressly declared they were doing it in the name of their religion and Allah. LGF: Islamic Terrorism in Fort Dix Plot LGF: 'I'm Doing It In the Name of Allah' ### CAIR is catching on that it looks bad if they do not say anything about home grown terrorists. They figured they had to react "properly" to the Ft. Dix plot and appear to be anti-terrorist. But they softened their punch by reminding Mohammedans to report any apparent backlash against Mohammedans in the form of discrimination or the like. LGF: CAIR Does the Multicultural Two-Step ### For all the criticism of our military as dumb, can't do anything, dregs and worthless bums by the likes of Kerry, Murtha, et al the character of the Marines was revealed yesterday in Alma, Michigan. A U.S. Marine died saving two children from the surf on a North Carolina beach. How many of the Kennedies, Kerries, Murthas, Pelosis, or Reids would do that or even consider doing that? Please note this story. Somebody recently criticized some of what I have written, which is admittedly somewhat over the top - intending to wake up the somnambulant folks who are ignoring problems figuring they will go away if ignored to death. He pulled out the "moral high ground" argument. Who has the moral high ground? Is it marines like the above who save lives at the expense of their own here at home or even more selflessly give their lives that the Iraqi people will have a chance of living without the oppression they experienced under Saddam or would suffer under either the radical Sunnis (Al-Qaeda in Iraq) or the radical Iranian supported Shias like Al-Sadr's crowd? Or is it Pelosis who are working to see to it that Iraq turns into the debacle that we had in Vietnam just as reports of remarkable turn arounds in Anbar and other parts of Iraq are starting to be noticed? I also note in regards to any moral high ground at any cost strategy that you can be right and dead because you insisted on doing the right thing. Doesn't this moot your being on the moral high ground? Regardless of that Master Sgt. Michael Wert clearly inhabited the moral high ground as a way of life without carrying it so far he could not defend that moral high ground as needed. May he rest with God. FN: Marine Drowns Saving 2 Boys Off North Carolina Beach ### In case anybody has any doubts of the "moral high ground" sort with regards to fighting Mohammedans Sheik Shady Suleiman (yes, that is his name) the deputy spiritual leader to Sheik Tad Din "Uncovered Meat" al-Hilali declares it is proper, sometimes, to kill children in religious warfare. Now, off hand I'd say many of our more notorious multiple murder people could play off Sheik Suleiman claiming the moral high ground. What WE consider morals and what Mohammedanism "officially" considers morals are not quite polar opposites. But they are close enough to being polar opposites that any claims we might have for "moral high ground" would be meaningless to the radical Mohammedan. Remember that these are people who are ordered, by Allah's revealed words in the Qur'an, are required to cut off heads, maim, and torture all infidels. (But they have to offer the infidel two other options, first: become a Mohammedan and participate in their atrocities or submit as a dhimmi - a third class citizen just barely above "slave". I do not see either as a viable choice.) Also remember that the Qur'an declares that Mohammed himself is the perfect exemplar of a Mohammedan man for all others to emulate. He is the man who ordered tortures such as cutting off the left arm and right leg or right arm and left leg for infidels captured on the battlefield. He is the man who lined up several hundred kafirs, who'd been defending themselves from Mohammed on his return to Mecca from Medina, and methodically hacked off their heads. Where does "moral high ground" fit in this equation? It is a nonsense phrase. Is it wrong to hate those who hate you and act on that hatred? LGF: Aussie Sheik: It's OK to Kill Kids in Battle ### Back at Associated Press we have this amusing change on the title of an article about the Hamas Mickey Mouse clone. Note the two different title likes. The first one was accurate. The second one came about after Charles linked to it in an article of his own. The AP simply is unable to admit that Hamas and Fatah are both terrorist organizations and TV shows like this one train children to be terrorists virtually from birth. Associated Press is simply pathetic. It also certainly has no morals to even think of parading on any high ground. {^_-} LGF: AP Revised Headline: Hamas Mouse Preaches Resistance ### Let's see, 750 cars the first night. 500 cars the second night. And 70 to 100 cars a night on the average French night. That suggests there may be a half life function here. [mumble] I suppose it will be a week or more before they manage to get down to the [cough] background radiation level of automobile destruction. These youths are virtually all Mohammedan youths from the self-imposed Mohammedan areas of France. To ME this rather strongly implies there is something basically wrong with the religion that it prompts its youth to behave so wrongly and feel it is the right thing to do in the name of Allah. The religion itself is evil. It's followers are poor suckers devoid of any skills at critical thinking. It is carefully trained out of them in the Mohammedan based schools. LGF: Second Night Car Toll: 500+ ### The Mohammedans may not need the nuclear bomb. They have a better one, the population bomb. Swadhin explains this over at Islam Watch. Unfortunately, as Jerry has patiently explained lo these many years, prosperity is an excellent birth control mechanism. The Qur'an, however, exhorts Mohammedans to produce new generations of Mohammedans in great numbers whenever the religion is "threatened". Since it is perpetually threatened the results are obvious. Also unfortunately Swadhin's writing style is rather "in your face". Nonetheless, it's worth reading if Mark Steyn doesn't already have you convinced on this detail. (Swadhin quite plainly has had some rather unfortunate dealings with Mohammedans, perhaps from his or her own family. The language used makes me think of somebody who has been rejected by family and friends over ideological matters.) IW: The Population Bomb ?

But he is very positive from a wide range of experience that they are of Iranian manufacture. And he describes why he believes that. The video is worth the trouble to watch it. PJM: Iranian Weapons. American Lives. ### And after this much intensity I have to leave you with a giggle. Live Video: The Copper Clapper Caper ### {^_^} ================== Daily Diatribe 20070509 Of sanctuary cities, illegal alien terrorists, and more... It is coming out that the three Duka brothers who were among the would be terrorist plotters nabbed by the FBI lived for 24 years in the US. They were poor drivers. They collected 19 tickets among them. But police NEVER CHECKED THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. They operated in sanctuary cities. The Federal Government should yank all funding to sanctuary cities. And if the sanctuary cities are still sanctuaries one year later the Federal Government should yank all aid to the state in which the city exists. Exposing citizens to this level of danger simply because of feel good political correctness is intolerable. But of course, no "good deed" goes unpunished. Consider that these men were thanking the US for the 1999 Kosovo rescue. They were thanking the cities for ignoring their immigration status when they received their tickets. They were thanking the states for ignoring their immigration status when issuing them their drivers licenses. Perhaps most important is an answer to the question, "What turned them from seemingly regular Americans for 23 years and more into people who were concerned about finding heavy concentrations of people on Ft. Dix so they could maximize the casualty count from their proposed activities?" When we get that answered we must put an end to it. If that means some "naturalized" imams must be exported, imprisoned alone (to avoid infecting other prisoners with their hate), or shot then so be it. Note that the young fellow of Turkish extraction was the son of a very secularized legal immigrant from Turkey, a country that has a million secularists who are determined enough to keep Turkey as secular as it is that they will all march in protest to attempts by radicals to take over the government. Regarding young Tatar I wonder if his father knew what was happening and was intimidated from reporting it or if his father simply didn't know. If his father approved, then this country is really in deep Bandini and had best start digging ourselves out NOW using whatever weaponry that might require in legal forums as well as on the streets. For THAT I would support pulling our troops home and letting Iraq know that if they become a problem again we will not be so nice the next time - and mean it in spades. Something the government is either doing for convenience of talking to the citizens or through utter, unmitigated, and unforgivable ignorance is exemplified by their ONLY mentioning Al Qaeda as the source of the ideals under which these young men worked. Iranian run and supported Hezbollah is fully as virulently evil as Al Qaeda. It's time the media admitted and recognized this. It is time the government recognized it and admitted it. (And it is time that the FBI stops getting "sensitivity training" from Hamas in the US, which goes by the name of CAIR.) FN: Brothers Charged in Terror Plot Lived Illegally in U.S. for 23 Years ### Srdja Trifkovic has written an article for Chronicles Magazine about our "no good deed goes unpunished" would be Ft. Dix terrorists. He highlights some interesting equations. Former Yugoslavia, Albanian. and Mohammedan all put together is Kosovo. Our government is, for reasons I cannot fathom, hiding this little equation that rather highlights the potential for an independent Mohammedan Kosovo is likely to become a Jihadist black hole, as Srdja terms it. I would see it more as the opposite, a white hole radiating terrorists across the world from a city in which the friendly boisterous inhabitants gleefully pull crosses from church cupolas, destroy Christian businesses, and in general methodically ethnically cleans Kosovo of anything not Mohammedan. But it's all innocent boisterous fun. Be sure you understand that. (Thanks to Jihad Watch for the link.) Chronicles magazine: Kosovo Blowback Reaches America ### It appears the route to radicalism for our Ft. Dix plotters was the good old Internet. MSNBC has the report.

JW: Fort Dix jihad plotters recruited through Internet ### Robert Spencer and Daniel Pipes both make some less than flattering remarks about how we set ourselves up for these terrorist plotters. JW: NR symposium on the Fort Dix jihad ### Some perspicacious people might ask, "So how did the Duka brothers get here in the first place?" The answer is depressingly obvious. "Then came in via Mexico (with their parents), of course." I am shocked! I am positively shocked that anybody other than those nice friendly reconquista Mexicans come over that border. As a general rule nice people don't have to come in illegally. MM: How did they get here? Answer: Three came across the Mexican border ### And then Michelle got really wound up and took no prisoners about the odd man out on the six terrorists, Agron Abdullah. He is the personification of "no good deed goes unpunished" in this event. He was the arms dealer who was to supply the other 5. He was a trained sniper during the war in Kosovo and was given safe haven in the US through Ft. Dix under the Clinton Administration. This was to protect them from the Serbs. As thanks for our consideration Abdullah has turned around and acted to destroy some of us. Michelle pulls no stops describing this and other aspects of the event. MM: Jersey Jihadists, open borders, and the thanks we get ### After her column Michelle also links an interesting document titled: NRO: Fort Dix Jihad: The Media Misses the Point It’s not about the organization, it’s the ideology. ### I remarked that Hezbollah (or Hizbullah and other variants) is as deep and determined a threat as Al Qaeda. And out government is catering to them in various ways. Furthermore they are run by Iran, Iraq's next door neighbor. And their arms are run into Lebanon from Syria, another of Iraq's next door neighbors. Both borders are long and quite crossable. What is mentioned even less frequency are the Hezbollah bases in the Americas. Charles points out three articles regarding this. From the third of the articles we have this bombshell: Many terrorism analysts and experts rate Hezbollah as the best organized and most competent Islamist terrorist organizations in the world. With an annual budget of likely well over $100 million coming from Iran, Syria and its criminal operations in the West, it boasts more than 25,000 men under arms. Having pushed Israel out of its security zone in southern Lebanon and the American and French peacekeepers out of Beirut, they are arguably the most successful terrorist organization of the modern era. All three articles are must reads - unless you like to sleep at night. LGF: NBC Notices Hizballah in South America ### There are liberal Mohammedan Arabs. Some of them are authors. MEMRI highlights three of them. These authors do not think highly of the radicals who have hijacked the Mohammedan religion and turned it to violent Jihad. I must applaud their speaking out. As much as I'd like to and long to believe their take on Mohammedan theology I must remain skeptical. Violence is way to embedded in the Qur'an, Sunnah, and Hadiths for their arguments to be persuasive on other grounds than humanity rather than dogma. MEMRI: Liberal Arab Authors Criticize Support for Terrorism in Arab and Muslim Society ### I like this little piece and Michelle's title for it. This ties right back to the issues surrounding "moral high ground" and Constitutional issues raised by a reader a few days ago. It's OK for me but not for thee refers to the New York Times using data mining to uncover potential ways to increase their subscription base as being the "ok for me" part while the government's attempts to datamine to find terrorists as being the "but not for thee" part. Personally I'd rather have the government data mining for terrorist activities than a crumby newspaper like the Times datamining to see if I am a suitable subscriber. MM: Data-mining for me, but not for thee ### As Michelle Malkin remarks The Mudville Gazette is a good read after an overdose of the MSM alarm and panic over how awful things are in Iraq.

This represents a mentally wrenching change from when he was there in his youth. "It was a working-class neighborhood, with a good number of Irish and Cypriot immigrants. Your food choices were the inevitable fish-and-chips, plus the curry joint, plus a strong pitch from the Greek and Turkish kebab sellers." Now it is women in burqas and hijabs, a smell of Algeria, and screaming Mohammedan extremists like al-Masri. All this happened in a generation. "How did a nation move from cricket and fish-and-chips to burkas and shoe-bombers in a single generation?" If you were to ask me I'd answer "Multi-culturalism." Read Hitchens' comments to get his thoughts. VanityFair: Londonistan Calling ### I left the Detroit area and Michigan as soon as had my degrees from the University of Michigan. It was already a rather depressing area. In particular Detroit itself was a festering boil on the face of the United States. I've never looked back. Nor has Detroit looked forward in that whole time. Less than two days after 6 men, 3 of them illegal aliens, were arrested for plotting terrorism the City Council of Detroit has passed a sanctuary city law. It proves the city is still as dumb today as it was the day I left the state to live elsewhere. No, I take that back, it is dumber than when I left that time. I came back to visit a couple times between '68 and '75. Each time Detroit was getting more and more blighted, both intellectually and morally. Now the city has tacitly approved of terrorism against the United States of America with its ill considered new law. The Federal Government should withhold all funds destined for the City of Detroit until the city changes its policy regarding illegal aliens. Had there been no illegal alien sanctuary cities the Duka brothers would not have even been in the US to take part in that plot. LGF: Detroit Bans Police from Asking Immigration Status ### The savvy Jihadi supporting Mohammedan groups in the US are now holding off two days before screaming about the imaginary islamophobia and fears of discrimination and hate crimes. (It is a fact that the number of real hate crimes against Mohammedans in the US each year is a very small fraction of the hate crimes against Jews in the US in the same year.) Mohammedan advocacy groups are now screaming about the Ft. Dix Six. How predictable... How droll... But to liven it all up the whines now come with liberal dosages of threat. Wayne Perry reports on Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer who represented scores of detainees after the 2001 attacks as he commits the intellectual error of associating someone who notes that nearly all terrorists are Mohammedan with declaring that all Mohammedans are terrorists. This is a well known logical fallacy. So Mohammed erects a straw man and then dutifully demolishes in flames. And it is reported as if it made sense in dutiful Associated Press dhimmitude manner. Not wanting to be left out CBS also got in their licks on this tired pathetic theme.

But their anti-war and his were two different things. Theirs led to 7/7 in London. He saw it coming and tried to alert the authorities in the area and they rebuffed and ignored him. They woke up on 7/7. All over the world the wake up call is coming in the form of Mohammedan instituted violence. The second link highlights this in a brief format. The third link is to a cluster of information of this sort known on YouTube as kasper10623. He appears to be British. The clips he posts are mostly from Britain.

LGF: Death Cult Mickey Still on the Air ### And Associated Press got caught with its pants down and an actual article headline that uses Jihad without scare-quotes around it has appeared. David Porter wrote about the Ft. Dix "three brothers and three others" with Jihad actually in the title line. And in the article Porter even says several rather derogatory things about these Jihadis and their strange way of showing gratitude. He also points out that the plot had ended its planning stages and was entering the heavy weapons acquisition stage. It was stopped none too soon, it seems. As a side note maybe I am wrong in presuming that Muslim Tatar, the father of Serdar Tatar, would be appalled at his son's activities. This is not proof that he's upset at his son's activities rather than his son's being stopped from becoming a martyr. He is trying to provide an alibi for his son in a small way. In an interview with AP on Wednesday, Tatar's father, Muslim Tatar, 54, denied that his son had made deliveries to Fort Dix. However, Christie said the younger Tatar spoke of delivering pizzas on the tapes made by informants. N.J. jihad plot stopped just in time, feds say ### Julia Gorin discusses the Ft. Dix Six, the three brothers and three others. She also comments about how she was strongly against out intervention in Serbia and Kosovo. "It will come home to haunt us." Well, it did. As she comments it is wise to learn the historical context of foreign conflicts before believing tails of atrocities and victimhood. Frankly, in that little intervention, Clinton screwed up badly. FPM: Balkan Muslim Gratitude ### The Muslim Prophet Muhammad said, "Baddala deenahu, faqtuluhu" -- if anyone changes his religion, kill him (cf. Bukhari vol. 9, bk. 84, no. 57). Pakistan has a new apostasy bill to implement this this. At present it is only a draft bill. But it portends a sea change in Pakistan towards radical Mohammedanism and full Shar'ia law. DW: Pakistan: New apostasy bill to impose death on anyone who leaves Islam ### Meanwhile Christians are receiving letters suggesting they convert.

MJT: UNIFIL, Unfulfilled ### Adrian Morgan has posted parts 1-4 of his two part "How Britain Encouraged Radicalism and Terrorism" article at Islam Watch. (Forward links are at the bottom of each article.) It seems he expanded the article beyond his first intentions. There is more meat to chew on. And it is very good meat. The British MI5 basically ignored the 7/7 bombers, their leaders, and the Pakistani Jihadi conveyer belt of would be Jihadis going to Pakistan to train and coming back to Britain to plan and execute terror. Al Muhajiroun members acted as if there were an "agreement" or truce between themselves and the UK. As long as the authorities did not interfere with them, there would be no terror attacks on British soil. They called this agreement a "Covenant of Security". As long as Al Muhajiroun’s terrorist operations happened offshore, MI5 and the Blair government seemed not to care about the group’s activities. In 2005, immediately after 7/7, former Al Muhajiroun members announced that the "Covenant of Security" was over. ...

IW: How Britain Encouraged Radicalism And Terrorism, Part 1 ### {^_^} ================== Daily Diatribe 20070511 Kuwait, Saudi Arabia's "mixed messages" neighbor, has revealed both a conservative side of Mohammedanism and a quite moderate side at the same time over the same event. The newly elected Kuwaiti education minister declares she will not wear a veil on the job. Dr. Nouriya Al-Subeeh is a strong lady and has stirred up a hornet's nest of conservatives who are, for a change, meeting the hornet's nest the conservatives' actions has stirred up. The reaction to the conservatives is very encouraging proof that Mohammedans can be moderates, at least on some small issues. MEMRI: Kuwaiti Education Minister Would Not Wear the Veil ### And in Iraq we have a tribal leader showing at least some good sense if not moderation. Sheikh Majid Suleiman, the head of the Al-Duleim tribes in Al-Anbar, has accused Al-Qaeda of fighting Iraqis rather than Americans. So his tribes will fight Al-Qaeda. I wonder if Pelosium will hear of this or figure out what it means. After all, Pelosium is even denser than Iridium. So I am not holding my breath. MEMRI: SUNNI TRIBAL HEAD IN IRAQ: AL-QAEDA A CANCER IN OUR LAND ### So Farfur, the Palestinian Death Cult Mickey Mouse, is either not political propaganda or aimed at children according to the Palestinian Information Minister. Since Farfur is clearly aimed at children that leaves the "not political propaganda" part. It is clearly Mohammedan propaganda but for two issues. It is the Qur'an's religions teachings so it is not propaganda and it is religious not political. Now the latter is clearly questionable in that there is no division between the political life and the religious life in Mohammedanism. The former is a point of view. The whole thing is phrased delicately to support their decision to leave Death Cult Mickey on the air teaching children to hate. MEMRI Blog: Palestinian Information Minister to Hamas TV: No Political Propaganda Aimed At Children ### Who pulls their strings? The Associated Press reveals very clearly who is pulling their strings these days. Charles cites an article on the fires in Georgia and Florida that features an utterly out of context reference to CAIR and no mentions of other religions to pull it back into a context. Oh lookee every body how nice and wonderful these Mohammedans are! Folks, it's time to write to your media outlets and tell them to find another source that does not have so many Mohammedan strings attached. LGF: Pay No Attention to the Radical Islamist Behind the Curtain ### Eighty two hundred seventy five deadly Mohammedan terrorist attacks have taken place in the name of Mohammedanism world wide since 9/11. If you make some rough play with the numbers that works out to almost exactly 4 deadly terrorist attacks per day, day in and day out, that are taking place in the name of Mohammedanism and perpetrated by Mohammedans. Christians have indulged in their share of terrorism. But now many honest terrorist attacks have taken place in the name of Christianity in that time? How many in the name of Buddhism? How many in the name of any other religion? Or for that matter how many deadly terrorist attacks have taken place since 9/11 in the name of the dreaded anti-religion atheism? It is only the Mohammedans who seem to be inspired to terrorism and deadly terrorist attacks on such a scale. (The Tamil Tigers are pikers compared to the Mohammedans.) And still the Mohammedan imams who scream about the nearly non-existent Islamophobia in the US still claim Mohammedanism is a religion of peace by quoting their Qur'an out of context. 5:32 does say, "If you kill one person, you kill humanity. If you save one person, you save humanity.” The full thing reads: 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. This is followed by 5:33 which reads as follows. 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. So if any child of Israel slays one person it is as if he slew the whole people; and if he saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. They were warned. The Jews continued to defend themselves against Mohammed's activities. So Mohammed prescribed a suitable punishment, pure and utter barbarism. Such is the religion of peace. Where Jesus taught compassion and forgiveness Mohammed taught terror, torture, and everything Jesus was against. Which one is the religion of peace? Hm? I believe what you do not what you say, Mr. Imam, Mr. Sheikh, Mr. Ayatollah, Mr. Mohammedan. And for MOST of you who are vocal as people claiming to speak for all Mohammedans I believe I see a record of disgusting lies. (Translations from the Muslim Student Association website at USC.EDU.) JW: Fort Dix area Muslims condemn plot; say that Islam teaches peace MSA: Qur'an 5:33 ### Well, the Mohammedan apologists in the media missed their cue by a few heartbeats. They are out there describing these fine young men as being paragons of virtue, "responsible, hardworking and very religious." Could it be, might it be, that "very religious" is the CAUSE of their behavior rather than a presumptive preventative inoculation against their behavior? How many extremist terrorists have we had described this way in the past. The mantra has become so predictable it's pathetic.

But for real fun with contradictions in a Holy book the Qur'an stands above them all. Syed Kamran Mirza has some fun with something as simple as how Allah created man and from what. It's a light but citation filled read that points out just how ridiculous a book the Qur'an is when inspected critically. It also points out how we could work to discredit the whole book and religion simply by quoting the Qur'an over and over and over again showing its contradictions. Regardless, Mirza has posted a fun read. IW: Science in Quran: Ambiguity of Human Embryology ### {^_^} ================== Daily Diatribe 20070512 Abandoning Iraq by declaring the "war is lost" and coming home will abandon the women of Iraq and indeed all Mohammedan women to a terrible fate. Girls are adults at 9. They can be tried and stoned to death for adultery, their word in a court of Shari'a law is worth half that of a man, a woman can be tried for adultery on one man's word (a man can only be tried for adultery on the word of two men or 4 women), and a girl of 9 can be forced to consummate a marriage to a (often much older) man she was forced to marry as early as 6 years old. The presence of our GIs in Iraq has been giving women a chance. They can vote, drive, us a cell phone, hold a job an their own bank accounts, and are generally protected from the more predatory males floating around their neighborhoods. If our GIs go half the population of Iraq goes back into 7th century slavery, for women are little more than baby producing slaves of the men in her life. Maybe on Mother's day Pelosi, Murtha, Reid, and other top dawg Democrats will reflect on this and what our presence means to millions of mothers in Iraq and around the world. And while they are at it they should contemplate the first time that the United States of America faced off with the Mohammedans and why. The war lasted 15 years. We utterly defeated the Ottoman Empire's Barbary pirates. 15 long protracted expensive years gained us about 200 years of respite. And the pathetic Democrats and defeatist news media are ready to fold our tents and declare our own defeat in only 4 years? What a pathetic batch of losers. Maybe the United States of America has earned some severe punishment at the hands of somebody. But if the Mohammedans win over us they will own the world. Every man, woman, and child will be forced to live under a set of self-contradictory 7th century laws that were regressive even for that age. Do YOU want to condemn your mother this way? FN: U.S. Presence in Iraq Promotes Muslim Feminism ### In a move that may be too little too late Europe is moving towards monitoring the Imams of Hate in radical mosques around Europe. If WE are not doing this already, we should start soonest. (And I propose that this goes for any religion. The Christians still bear a stigma for the number and violence of their extremists' encounters with abortion clinics and information providers. The disagreement should NEVER have turned to the kind of violent encounter or even intimidating encounter that happened. So, yes, all religions should be so monitored. And I can hear the howls of protest and anger from the Scientologists already.) LGF: Signs of Intelligent Life in Europe ### Paging Pelosi! Paging Reid! Paging Dean! Paging Clinton! You need to read this. Al Qaeda is revealed to have specific plans to take over the Sunni heartland of Iraq and turn it into a militant Islamic state once American troops have withdrawn is causing alarm among US intelligence officials. Of course, I feel like knocking heads at the Times of London and asking if they think Iran and their puppet Hezbollah would not just love to take over the rest of Iraq as their own terrorist breeding grounds? But they do have it at least half right. That is more than most media and most of our governmental officials. So they're ahead of the game. ToL: Al-Qaeda planning militant Islamic state within Iraq ### One place we are very clearly winning is the Philippines. “They’re really contributing a lot to the overall security,” said Hermogenes Esperon, the Philippine military chief of staff. “They’ve spent so much for their deployment. We should be reciprocating, but they’re not demanding anything in return but our commitment to work with them in the fight against terrorism.” Indeed, that is all we ask in return. We can't eliminate terrorism without some help from those facing terrorist problems themselves. By the way, how many years was it before we officially "left" the Philippines after WW-II? I wish I could knock that information into the head of Pelosium and the head of Cant Reid with a clue-by-12. But that will never be. Besides, their heads are so hard and dense they'd break even a steel clue-by-12. LGF: US Efforts Bear Fruit in Philippines ### I've highlighted how Britain was stupid and encouraged extremists while letting them get away almost anything (murder, bombs, shootings, terror) as long as this all happened outside Britain. Then one day it started happening at home, too. The United States of America is not in the least above this level of stupidity. As Robert Spencer put it, "The intrepid Paul Williams has a report in Canada Free Press (thanks to all who sent this in) about his visit to Islamberg, New York, a camp run by the jihadist Jamaat ul-Fuqra group. The inhabitants wouldn't let him into the compound, but he talked to some of the locals, and found out a good deal...." There are training camps just like Islamberg, New York in "Hyattsville, Maryland; Red House, Virginia; Falls Church, Virginia; Macon, Georgia; York, South Carolina; Dover, Tennessee; Buena Vista, Colorado; Talihina, Oklahoma; Tulane Country, California; Commerce, California; and Onalaska, Washington. Others are being built, including an expansive facility in Sherman, Pennsylvania." Why indeed does the FBI and our government let this go on? Maybe this is why Shrub and company act like closing the borders is pointless at this time. It's already too late. JW: Islamberg, New York: "You can hear gunfire up there. I can't understand why the FBI won't shut it down" ### A simple small billboard sign at a Baptist Church is creating a maelstrom of controversy. On side it reads "Don't be deceived the message of "Islam" is submit - convert - or die. Not salvation in Jesus Christ". On the other side it reads "When is the last time you heard of a Jew or Christian with a bomb strapped to their body?" The local Islamists are all in an uproar screaming like their teats are in wringers. Michelle Malkin has more details, to which I will note the actual order is convert, submit, or die as stated clearly in Qur'an 9:29. She points to an alternate source not as positively Allah's word. She also posts some pictures of the outright hatred expressed by Mohammedans - in London. MM: Church sign about Islam offends Muslims ### In a news item from Iraq we here that the firmly Iranian SCIRI party in Iraq is breaking its ties with Iran's Ayatollah Kahmeini. This bears watching to see if it is a mere "image spiffing" or if it's the real McCoy with SCIRI falling in line with Al Sistani, one of the more sensible folks over there in Shi'ite portions of Iraq. Bombshell? I dunno. Color me cynical. Important? Without a doubt... HA: Bombshell: SCIRI splits with Iran, swears loyalty to Sistani ### {^_^} ================== Daily Diatribe 20070513 Here are some Muslims that earn my respect to the total of about 2% of the entire population of a country, Turkey. About one million five hundred thousand people carried anti-government banners, red and white Turkish flags, and pictures of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of secular Turkey. They are protesting the attempted take-over and abrogation of the Turkish Constitution by radical Islamists. They want to maintain a government of law according to their Constitution. Some articles of the their constitution are marked as being immutable, literally unchangeable by any means. The radical imams have been trying to abrogate these sections which weld secular law into place in Turkey. And a WHOLE LOT of Turks are willing to put their lives on line in the face of radical threats to rally in Turkey to prevent the imams from taking over and imposing Shari'a law. These Muslims I am not against. To be honest I'd recommend to them that a change to a real faith might be in order as Allah is a rather broken concept for a deity the way Allah always contradicts what Allah says as if Allah has a hugely split personality and is quite delusional. But that's a conclusion for them to reach by inspection of their religion themselves. In the meantime I applaud their ability to maintain an almost civilized level of separation between what is secular and what is religious law. By Mohammedan standards these people are apostates, though. So I wish them luck if the jihadis gain control or even a modestly stronger foot hold in Turkey. The Mohammedans I am against are the ones who declare I must convert, submit, or die with a heavy emphasis on the "die" part, the Jihadis.

Then you will understand my comment below: Pamela Hess on CSPAN - pick the first video for a bit then the third. Regardless of how and why we got there at this point in time "it's about the humanity of the thing." If we leave we become instant monsters abandoning such moderate Mohammedans as may exist, such Mohammedans as simply want to get through a day, earn some money on a job, and get home without the threat of thugs or Jihadis weighing heavily on their mind. We must give them a chance as a way of preserving our own humanity. If we simply bail out now we might as well take up our nukes and take out any Mohammedan population center of more than 10,000. (Even if that means Londonistan and Dearbornistan as well.) It might work and would not make is GREATER monsters except by raw numbers than a simple pull out from Iraq would make us. If we bail we will have admitted we are ethically and morally bankrupt. If we stick it out until the jihadis can be reduced and the police and military enhanced to the point that jihadi activities can be contained and not make a mess of all Iraqi lives. If we do that, no matter what happens, we will have retained OUR humanity. If Iraq backslides into being a Jihadi Center Of The Universe, we can "do it again", probably more messily because we've used up our stocks of precision munitions. But we get to do it again without already being moral and ethical monsters. I do NOT want to be part of a country that finds it must unleash its nuclear might on 1.3 gigapersons around the world in order to try to preserve our way of life. I do not want to have to be a monster. We should work NOW to prevent that potential requirement in the future. It's about humanity, theirs and ours. Like it or not, we are stuck in Iraq. We need to find an efficient solution to exiting that preserves OUR humanity by helping bring to the surface their humanity. JW: Tancredo: We Need To Disengage From Iraq ### It appears quite certain at this time that we did get Mullah Dadullah.

I surely hope he and Kahmeini have been made aware of the fact that if it is used all either of them have to do is become known to be in ANY Mohammedan city in the world for that city to cease to exist, UN or no UN. I put that "UN or no UN" phrase in there because one of the specific reasons for the UN's existing at all is to prevent another nuclear war. WW-II was enough for this world. And the UN has given up on that part of its purpose. Once they have been proven ineffective we should evict the UN on 1 hour notice then take over the building with troops ordered to shoot ANY remaining UN staffers found in the building. And nobody is to be allowed out of the building carrying anything, even their own briefcase. Only their wallets, credit cards, and identity documents would be allowed out of the building. HotAir also has some interesting background data. For example, a document showing a sphere collision process was found last year. The only use for sphere collision with nuclear material involved is a bomb. NYT: Atomic Agency Concludes Iran Is Stepping Up Nuclear Work HA: UN inspection shows Iran’s enrichment capabilities greater than thought ### Robert Spencer writes about the million and a half person protest against the attempt by Mohammedan imams to take over the Turkish government against its constitutional immutable rejection of political Mohammedanism. In the process Robert touches on the question, What is a moderate Mohammedanism? In Turkey's case it was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's rejection of the political aspects of Mohammedanism. It was a very direct rejection, too. This is pretty much what is required to be a moderate Mohammedan, one who can support a secular government with laws that are not based on Sharia laws. It is pretty much what is required for a Mohammedan to be able to be a real human with neighbors who are not Mohammedan or are a different sect of Mohammedan. As Turkey goes we should watch. This sequence in motion now should say a very great deal about how we must deal with Mohammedans. Can we wean them from the violence or must we be rough about it?

Coming out of it there are two candidates I would vote for, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson. (Think about it.) Giuliani commented that other issues that face this great country of ours are more pressing than any litmus test on abortion. We need to attack abortion. I've been saying for well over a decade now that the way to "attack" abortion is to reduce the market for the procedure not outlawing it. While we address the very real menace from Mohammedan Jihadis and the radicalization process whereby moderate secular Mohammedans are turned into Jihadis willing to kill themselves even though they are not by any means "disaffected poor" we can also address reducing the market for abortion without creating a hugely divisive mess by changing what laws we have now that are working, poorly admittedly. But we have a more or less stable situation. Destabilizing it during a war that is as important as that against Jihadis is a seriously damn fool stunt. 'Nuff said.

Must hate all conservatives. Must make sure they fail. The country does not matter. Conservative failure is all that matters." (I tried a dose of Daily Kos and Huffington today.

They were preparing massive attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. The goal was to make oil very scarce and hammer the United States.

He is now an Organization of the Islamic Conference lapdog. We really have to get out of the UN or hammer it rather directly in its pocketbook. It is very vividly demonstrating its invalidity in today's world and its uselessness for protecting the free world. Sigh, I had hopes for the man, too. JW: U.N.: Ban Vows to Boost Cooperation with Islamic Conference ### After the Ft. Dix Six attacks the CAIR officials screamed about the potential for anti-Mohammedan bias. There have not been any so far. Robert Spencer investigates it on HotAir's vent today. HA: Backlashophobia ### Gitmo detainee complains about the awful torture he faces. He receives too little entertainment. sigh. We're such nasty people, aren't we? I mean really - the torture is too much - unscented deodorant and shampoo, dull reading material, and all that. Sheesh, where is our hospitality? Snicker - so boredom is an advanced interrogation technique, maybe? JW: Suspected jihadist claims "mental torture" at Guantanamo Bay: unscented deodorant and shampoo, dull reading material ### Two beers - what do you think the poor soul, home in Iran to visit family after being granted asylum in Norway, received for punishment from the Iranian mullahs court? A tongue lashing? A few lashes and a strong talking to? 20 or 30 lashes and a stern admonition? Nope - 130 crippling lashes. Look at the picture of the results and read about it. Aftenposten: Whipped for two beers ### {^_^} ================== Daily Diatribe 20070516 Seriously, folks, what should be done when a critical trial for public safety comes up before a judge who is as dumb as a stump about the key background to the case? Judge Peter Openshaw broke into the questioning of a witness about a Web forum used by alleged Islamist radicals. “The trouble is I don’t understand the language. I don’t really understand what a Web site is,” he told a London court during the trial of three men charged under anti-terrorism laws. This is NOT a good thing when the trial is one about terrorism and web postings that incite it. IMAO judges have a duty to stay abreast of modern society which may form a background to cases that come before them or else recuse themselves if they find themselves getting confused on key concepts. LGF: UK Judge Baffled in Internet Terror Trial ### Honor killings exist and are practiced in modern day Mohammedanism even in countries where the laws explicitly prohibit the practice. LGF: Honor Killing in Manchester ### I've mentioned Daily Kos before but tended not to post links. The level of raw hatred for Americans present on that site is astounding. Charles Johnson has posted a transcript of several messages that talk about gassing Joe Lieberman as a good thing, "Given a choice between my dog and Lieberman, I'd gas him without thinking twice." That's bad. But go down a little further to what "TeresaInPa" posted. And THESE people accuse us and LittleGreebFootballs of being a hate filled site. LGF: Daily Kos Kids: Lieberman Should Be Gassed ### It is not what was said to which the Mohammedans object so much as who says it. If the deceased Mohammedan scholar Muhammad Husayn Haykal or the Mohammedan apologist Karen Armstrong say something about Mohammed marrying his daughter-in-law after his adopted son divorced her then it's OK and nobody complains. But it Robert Spencer talks about this quoting the Qur'an using the MSA translations of the Qur'an, which were done by Mohammedans for Mohammedans, then he is evil, taking it all out of context, making it up, or even all three at once. Robert Spencer uses the reaction of Mohammedans to precisely this incident as cited in the Qur'an 33:37 with a link to the MSA translations. He also cites other incidents of it making a big difference WHO says something rather than what was said. Talk about Mohammedanism approvingly then you can discuss some of the "Prophet" Mohammed's nastier habits, double-dealings, treachery, sexual debauchery, and child abuse. Talk about the same incidents with the same quotes as I did, with disapproval, and you get screamed at by the same Mohammedans who approved of the quotes when placed in an "approving" context. The lesson is that the more radical and Qur'am aware Mohammedans fully realize that the Qur'an cannot stand up to honest critical examination and exposure of its absurdities, crudities, and its disgusting and inhumane practices. Robert is somewhat bemused by his supposed super-power of inserting passages he composed into the Qur'an. For that is what must be happening if he made up the passages he quotes. {^_-} I find it amusing, too. JW: Author of the Qur'an and Hadith? ### {^_^} ================== Daily Diatribe 20070517 It seems Syrian liberal author Nidhal Na'isa agree what will be the outcome of Mohammedans getting nuclear weapons and dominates the world: annihilation to the last person alive. I don't think either of us see that actually happening. But we both see a major kill off that will continue until we're back in a world where people cannot reach out and kill someone quite as easily as we can now.
