Muslim Apostate, Nonie Darwish, on Today's islamic Terror Bust and the Misunderstanders of Islam

Nonie Darwish, Muslim Apostate, author and extraordinary truth teller on Islamic teaching, has penned this piece for Atlas on the latest in a string of terror arrests averting massive islamic attacks that would have taken an untold number of American lives.

Darwish knows. She lived it.

Terror Arrests And The Misunderstood Religion Nonie Darwish

Today we have yet another terror-related arrest of a Muslim, Tarek Mehanna, who was plotting jihad terror attacks against US shopping malls. But Americans are told to never link that to Islamic teachings.

Committed Muslims insist that Islam is misunderstood by the West. Sensitivity training to Islam is forced upon US government employees and teachers, telling them that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism implying that if they believe their eyes, ears and common sense, then they must be Islamophobes.

Muslim propaganda is cleverly wrapped in illogical strategies to get the West confused about their own perception of Islam. For centuries Muslims lived with unchallenged warped logic regarding their religion. Instead of examining non-Muslim fear of Muslim violence and oppression encouraged by Muslim scriptures, Muslims are trained to regard such complaints as an attack on Muslims and Islam itself.

I have no doubt in my mind that when Dalia Mogahed, White House advisor on Islamic issues, says that Sharia is misunderstood, that she really means it. Like her, early in my life as a Muslim, I believed the same.That is how we were trained to accept our destiny under Sharia which turned us into robots ruled by fear, intimidation and warped logic. Women are told they have been liberated by Islam because pre-Islamic society used to kill new born girls and Islam stopped that. We were told that before Islam came, men could marry an unlimited amount of women and slave girls and Islam came and limited the number to 4. We were told that women were not able to hold property before Islam and Islam came and gave us that right and the right not to share our property even with our husbands. The absence of community property between husband and wife in Islam is sold as a benefit when it really is the result of polygamy, where women had to protect their inheritance from being shared by other wives and by a husband who does not want to share his wealth with his wives. What a great deal, we Muslim women, thought. Day in and day out we had to thank Allah forIslam that stopped our murder at birth. We had to thank Allah for being supported by husbands in a society that crippled us and did not allow us to get out of the house without our husband’s permission.

Just as Muslim women are indoctrinated into believing that Islam saved them from murder at birth, Muslims are trying to convince the West that they too have nothing to fear from Islam. Thus we see the sensitivity training of Westerners who are expected to never blame Muslim teachings for terrorism. Western deep fear of being called a racist has been transferred to fear of being called an Islamophobe. So if the definition of Jihad in Muslim scriptures state that Jihad means “to war with non-Muslims to establish the religion”, the West should not misunderstand the word ‘war’ to be aggression. If Muslim scriptures clearly state that an apostate must be killed immediately and their killers will not be punished, then we must not take the word ‘kill’ at face value. If Muslim scriptures say that women are deficient in intellect and religion and must not be trusted, we should not take that seriously. Thus connecting Muslim commandments to kill and war with Islamic terror and violence is an act of Islamophobia that must be punished as a hate crime.

We are still told that the West simply misunderstands Islam. Even after constant and persistent acts of Muslim terror against the West, we are told with deep sincerity, not be afraid of Islam even if Muslims are holding the Quran in one hand and decapitating non-Muslims with another. The message of Islam to kill kafirs and apostates is so unreal and unimaginable to the Western mind that some Westerners actually are convinced it can’t be true and that no religion can openly advocate such violence and stay respected by the international community. It must be us, the West, who does not understand Islam because the alternative is unimaginable. But the unimaginable has survived and thrived for 1400 years and still going strong with full force with the support of petro-dollars and facilitated by Western do-gooders.

Mullah sprung from Gitmo now leads Taliban jihadists

Good thing Obama is closing Gitmo, eh? There has been a great deal of skepticism over the rate of Gitmo recidivism, but that skepticism is based on dogmatic and tendentious Leftist assumptions -- chief among them the idea that the Gitmo inmates were simple farmers and townsfolk picked up by a rabid, imperialist and Islamophobic American war machine in an attempt to justify its rapacity. Recently I was on a BBC show with an advocate for the Guantanamo prisoners who insisted that the Uighurs (yes, the ones who were ultimately released to a perpetual Bermuda vacation) were just poor tribesmen unjustly arrested and imprisoned. She completely ignored the fact that they were not arrested in Xinjiang, but in Afghanistan -- and why would Muslim Uighurs in Western China travel to Afghanistan in the first place? For the waters?

Obviously, they went to Afghanistan to wage jihad. And then when they got to Guantanamo, because of political correctness and the prevailing and unquestionable dogma that Islam is a religion of peace. nothing was done to disabuse them of their jihadist assumptions. On the contrary: those assumptions were reinforced by the respect and reverence that American personnel were ordered to show for the Qur'an -- the very book that had inspired these men to wage war against the United States in the first place.

In light of that, it is no surprise is that any Gitmo inmates return to jihad. It is only a surprise that more released Gitmo inmates don't return to jihad.

"Mullah Sprung From Gitmo Jail Now Leads Foe In Afghan Campaign," by Seth G. Jones in the New York Post, July 5 (thanks to Rosanne):

KABUL, Afghanistan -- As Marine Corps forces roll into southern Afghanistan, they face an enemy familiar to US officials -- Mullah Zakir, a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who now leads a reconstituted Taliban.

Abdul Qayum Zakir, also known as Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul, is from Helmand Province and has taken a circuitous route to become head of the radical Islamic group.

Zakir was a senior fighter during the Taliban regime in the 1990s. In a memorandum prepared for his administrative review board at Guantanamo, Zakir apparently "felt it would be fine to wage jihad against Americans, Jews, or Israelis if they were invading his country."

And he acknowledged that he was "called to fight jihad in approximately 1997," when he joined the Taliban.

In 2001, he surrendered to US and Afghan forces in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif as the regime was collapsing. He spent the next several years in custody, was transferred to Guantanamo around 2006, then to Afghanistan government custody in late 2007, and was eventually released around May 2008. American officials won't say why he was let go and have not released a photograph of him.

Zakir wasted little time rekindling his relationship with the Taliban, especially its inner shura, or leadership council, based in Pakistan. According to some accounts, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar appointed Zakir as a senior military commander in mid-2008. He quickly developed a reputation as a charismatic leader....

Robert Tracinski: The Free Man's Rebellion

Robert Tracinski of The Intellectual Activist is one of our nation's clearest and brightest thinkers. His website is one the world cannot live without. We were fortunate to have Mr. Tracinski attend our evening with Geert Wilders last Friday night. I had not met him before, but I have long admired his sagacious, brilliant work.
He has penned an op-ed on what he saw that day in DC and that night at the OMNI Shoreham. Read it all and check out The TIA Daily site - worth the price of admission (subscribe here).
Tracinski nails the problem dead on right: "America used to have politicians like this. We call them the Founding Fathers. And one of the things I love about politics is that occasionally we see a leader who rises to that level again." —RWT

The Free Man's Rebellion Robert Tracinski

I went up to Washington, DC, Friday to see the local "tea party" protest against big government. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a fizzle. It was not so much the small size of the turnout—the best estimate I could get was that it drew at most 100 people—but the fact that those who attended were "the usual suspects." They were the kind of right-leaning, small-government firebrands who would come out for an event like this on the slightest provocation. They were not members of the general public driven to outrage by the Obama administration's push toward socialism.

So I guess I learned what I was hoping to learn by going to the event: whether or not there is a broad, popular surge of anger against rising statism. The answer: not yet. It confirms my expectation that the general public is still giving Obama the benefit of the doubt. They will not turn against him until his policies clearly have failed.

I should acknowledge, though, that Washington may not have been typical. After all, it is a town where the local growth industry is government. My friend Shrikant has been reporting to me that the general mood on the streets of Manhattan is raw fear. From what I can tell, the general mood on the streets of Washington is smug complacency. And why not? The financial center of the United States has just been forcibly removed from the one city to the other.

Other "tea party" events in other cities seem to have gone a good deal better; Michelle Malkin has a very extensive round-up on the protests in various cities. Note particularly the prevalence of signs with references to "Atlas" or to John Galt, which indicates the "Ayn Rand factor" at work here (my piece on which went up at RealClearMarkets on Friday).

But it is early days yet. The "tea party" idea was first broached less than two weeks ago by Rick Santelli. We will have a lot of time to plan and prepare and to help move the general public to the point where it is ready to say "enough."

But assessing the tepid local tea was not by any means the most interesting thing I did in Washington. What really made the trip worthwhile was seeing Geert Wilders speak there in the evening. If I was looking for a free man's rebellion against tyranny, this was it.

Wilders is the Dutch member of parliament who was recently denied entry to Britain after being invited by the House of Lords to screen his short film Fitna which demonstrates that the Koran preaches violent repression of non-believers. In response to Britain's betrayal of freedom of speech, Arizona Senator Jon Kyl invited Wilders to give a short talk and screen his film at the US Capitol on Friday.

Pamela Geller of the Atlas Shrugs blog—there's the Ayn Rand factor at work again—decided on her own initiative to organize a second showing of the film and a talk by Wilders at the same Washington hotel that was hosting the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a giant yearly gathering of conservative political activists.

Interestingly, while the event was held alongside CPAC, it was not really part of CPAC. Geller describes how this year's CPAC has virtually ignored Islam and terrorism as an issue and generally refused to cooperate with the planning of the Wilders event. Geller had to organize the whole thing herself and find the funding for it.

The response of the CPAC attendees—the rank and file of the right, as opposed to its leadership establishment—was quite different. There was a large and enthusiastic audience, who lined up in a queue that stretched from the meeting room out through the lobby of the hotel. Geller describes the event in her blog, and one detail in particular jibes with my memory and give you a feel for it: hearing the wave of cheers and applause as Wilders came down the hallway to the meeting room, stopping to shake hands with the people waiting in line to see him. The event had a standing room only crowd estimated at more than 500, and people had to be turned away because the room was at capacity.

Geller accurately describes the enthusiasm of the audience. I am not sure I can adequately describe the enthusiasm of Geller herself, a brash New Yorker and an irrepressible firebrand. You'll have to see the video of the event (which also briefly shows yours truly chatting with Pamela—who I have known for a while as a fan of TIA Daily—before the event begins). She was followed by Andrew Bostom and Robert Spencer—both of them uncompromising experts on Islam who have warned against its threats. Geller's report on the event has transcripts of their brief remarks, which are well worth reading.

But of course what we all came to see was Wilders himself and his film. Fitna is a 15-minute documentary that primarily consists of a series of quotes from the Koran calling for the killing of unbelievers, combined with quotes from speeches by various Muslim religious leaders advocating violence and religious dictatorship—all juxtaposed against images of terrorist attacks and assassinations committed by Muslims against us Western infidels. The most interesting thing about Wilders's film is that it includes so little commentary or interpretation of his own. It consists of quotes from the Koran, statements by Muslims, and actions taken by Muslims. He lets the enemy speak for himself, and the film has aptly been described as holding a mirror up to radical Islam.

For holding a mirror up to reality, Wilders has been vilified and attacked; he is currently being prosecuted in the Netherlands under that nation's "hate speech" laws. Yet if these same laws were applied to Islam, he points out, they would require Dutch authorities to ban the Koran.

And of course he has been threatened with death. This is the usual self-refuting Muslim response: don't say we're violent or we'll cut your head off. And this threat is very real for a European intellectual or politician, especially after the murder of Theo van Gogh, who was killed for making another short film critical of Islam. If you watch the video of Friday's event, you may notice that Wilders was flanked throughout the speech by two tall, well-muscled gentlemen. The fact that he needs this kind of protection says everything you need to know about the current threat to freedom of speech and where it comes from.

When I met Wilders before the event, I told him that a writer in the US can say the most controversial things with no real fear. (I've called Islam "The Killers' Creed" and put Kurt Westergaard's cartoon of Mohammed on the cover of TIA, and I've never had reason to think I was in serious danger.) So we appreciate all the more those who speak up when they are taking a real risk.

Wilders's speech—which I understand is essentially the same speech he gave at the Capitol—named in bold, straightforward terms all of the essential issues. Here are the best excerpts:

Today, the dearest of our many freedoms is under attack all throughout Europe. Free speech is no longer a given. What we once considered a natural element of our existence, our birth right, is now something we once again have to battle for….

The real question is: will free speech be put behind bars? And the larger question for the West is: will we leave Europe's children the values of Rome, Athens, and Jerusalem, or the values of Mecca, Teheran, and Gaza?...

Cultural relativism is the worst disease in Europe today. Most of our politicians believe that all cultures are equal. Well let me tell you they are not.

Our Western culture based on Christianity, Judaism, and humanism is in every aspect better than the Islamic culture. Like the brave apostate Wafa Sultan said: it's a comparison between a culture of reason and a culture of barbarism….

I propose the withdrawal of all hate speech legislation in Europe. I propose a European First Amendment. In Europe, we should defend freedom of speech like you Americans do….

Ladies and gentlemen, our enemies should know: we will never apologize for being free men, we will never give in. We will never surrender. There is no stronger power than the force of free men fighting for the great cause of liberty. Because freedom is the birthright of all man. Freedom must prevail, and freedom will prevail.

Beyond that, I can give you my sense of Wilders as a person. He is usually portrayed sneeringly in the press as an angry reactionary rabble-rouser or as some kind of opportunistic publicity hound. What struck me most about him was precisely the opposite: there was no element in him of pretense or posturing, no trace of the self-conscious display of courage that you usually see in the leftist activist who shouts out bromides for which he knows he will never be punished. Rather, Wilders projected the most profound sense of dignity I have ever experienced from a speaker. In person, meeting members of the audience before the event, he was quiet, mild-mannered, and unfailingly polite. At the podium, he was calm and focused, maintaining his composure even in the face of the energetic and at times raucous response he got from his audience. I got the sense that he would have been equally composed if the audience had been just as energetic, but hostile. He was not really concerned with the audience and its reaction. He gave the sense that his only mission was to convey clearly the important message he had to deliver.

When Wilders first came walking to the event and shook hands with the people in line, I thought that he looked just like a politician at a campaign event shaking the hands of his constituents. And of course, he is a politician, holding a seat in the Dutch Parliament as a member of what is now his country's largest political party. But he is also much more: a man of courage and principle taking a stand on an issue that is crucial to the survival of our civilization.

America used to have politicians like this. We call them the Founding Fathers. And one of the things I love about politics is that occasionally we see a leader who rises to that level again.—RWT

A great American's take.

MUSLIM GROUPS TO OBAMA: ISLAMIC INFILTRATION AT HIGHEST LEVELS

How is the American Muslim community not engaged? How are they different from any other American? Why are their goals different from those of patriotic Americans? Which Muslims would these notorious groups (i.e. CAIR) have head these "roundtables with Muslim leadership for all departments, such as State, Justice, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services" - pious Muslims? Muslims who follow the doctrine outlined in the Quran?

They are going for the jugular. Meanwhile, Islamic Terrorists Are Forming Cells In America

Muslims Ask Obama for Inclusion, Change Islam Online

WASHINGTON — A coalition of the 12-largest Muslim organizations in the US has issued an open-letter to President-elect Barack Hussein Obama urging him to break away from the long-criticized policies of President George Bush's administration and to engage the American Muslim community.

"We...wish to see you instruct senior officials in your administration to reinstate roundtables with Muslim leadership for all departments, such as State, Justice, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services," said the American Muslim Task Force on Civil Rights and Elections (AMT).

Unveiling the "American Muslims in the American Mainstream," open-letter in a press conference on Monday, December 29, AMT chairman Agha Saeed said the incoming Obama administration needs to take notice of the American Muslim community.

US Muslims Await Obama's Change

"Ninety-five percent of Muslims voted on the day of election," he stressed.

"That was the highest voter turnout of any community in America."

But there are only 2 million Muslims in the whole country...

An AMT poll found that 89 percent of Muslims voted for Obama while only  two percent voted for Republican candidate John McCain.

Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), affirmed that US Muslims are "capable" and ready to help bring the change Obama has promised during his campaign.

"American Muslims are [a] vibrant community and we would like to be part of that change."

State Senator Larry Shaw, the longest-serving Muslim elected official in the US, agreed.

"Within the Islamic community in America are untapped resources," he said.

"We are very highly competent and capable people who can head any secretary department or deputy department or senior-level management."

The United States is home to between six to seven million Muslims.

This is more CAIR propaganda about bogus US Muslim population figures..........

Change Policies

The Muslim organizations urged President-elect Obama to change some of the unpopular Bush policies.

"As you assume your new duties, there are some areas we hope you will list among your priorities," read their open-letter.

"This includes restoring due process, objective justice, repealing manifestly unconstitutional clauses of the USA PATRIOT ACT, ending COINTELPRO campaigns against Muslim and Arab American communities, and ensuring that our nation rejects the use of ex post facto laws."

Muslims in the US have become sensitized to the erosion of their civil rights under the Bush administration.

Many of them have complained of facing discrimination and stereotypes because of their Islamic attires or identities.

The open letter also asked Obama to pay attention to issues long ignored by the outgoing administration.

"We look forward to your proposals for providing universal healthcare to our citizens and fixing our nation’s broken immigration system."

Many Muslims believe the economy, the infrastructure and basic services, such as healthcare, have been sidelined for the interest of Bush's so-called war-on-terror.

The letter also touched on the key issue of foreign policies, asking Obama to assist in ending the deteriorating situation in the Middle East.

"We demand that our government, the US government, take immediate steps to end the immoral and illegal Israeli bombardment of Gaza and its population," said Awad.

The besieged Palestinian territory, home to 1.6 million, has been under days of Israeli strikes, which have killed more than 380 and injured some 1,800 since last Saturday.Obama has kept his deafening silence on the Gaza onslaught, one of Israel’s deadliest against Palestinians in decades.

JEWISH GENOCIDE WATCH: IRANIAN PROXY HEZBALLAH PROMISES ATTACK ON THE JEWS

Iranian proxy Hizb'allah (the party of Allah) will exploit this opportunity to open up a second front on the jihad against the Jews. The world rubs its hands in glee -- and the UN world body, the collective negation of humanity, will do everything in its power to stop the Jews from surviving.

The Jews MUST IGNORE EVERYONE. And LIVE.

Hizbullah Vows Revenge on Gaza
Hizbullah has vowed to attack Israel in the north in retaliation for the IDF military operation against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

Terrorist chief Hassan Nasrallah issued a statement on Hizbullah's Al-Manar television station Sunday, vowing that "northern Israel will burn as Gaza is burning." Nasrallah rarely appears in person; he speaks via a video hook-up from his hideout due to fears of assassination by Israeli agents, following the 2006 Second Lebanon War.

Nasrallah should have been removed from the planet in the war on Israel 2006.

Hizbullah officials were quoted in a number of Arabic-language publications on Saturday warning that they would not permit Israel to attack Gaza without retaliating.

Last week seven Katyusha rockets were discovered primed and ready for launching in southern Lebanon, located near the northern border of Israel. All seven were aimed at targets in the Jewish State.

Seven Katyusha rockets were discovered in southern Lebanon Thursday, less than five kilometers, or three miles, from Israel's northern border, primed and ready to fire.

Lebanese Army sappers were called to defuse the missiles.

The 107-mm missiles, which were fitted with timing devices, were deployed in the Naqoura region, across the border from the central and western Galilee regions, and were set up to be launched at Israel. The source, which spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Katyushas were found in the area between the border towns of Naqoura and Teir Harfa, "a short while before the time set for their launching".

UPDATE: Iran orders Muslims to defend "Palestinians" Supreme Nazi leader issues religious decree in support of Palestinians; Iranian Nazi parliamentarian likens Israel's actions in Gaza to those of Hitler

 

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a religious decree to Muslims around the world on Sunday, ordering them to defend "Palestinians" against Israel's attacks on Gaza, state television said.

"All Palestinian combatants and all the Islamic world's pious people are obliged to defend the defenseless women, children and people in Gaza in any way possible. Whoever is killed in this legitimate defense is considered a martyr," state television quoted Khamenei as saying in a statement outlining the fatwa.

 

Khamenei also criticized some Arab governments for their "encouraging silence" towards the Israel's raids on Gaza. "The Zionist regime must by held accountable by Islamic governments. The heads of this regime must be held personally accountable for these crimes and the ongoing siege," the religious leader said.

Accordingly, a state TV report late Saturday quoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as saying Iran will stand by the "Palestinians".  He also tried to garner greater support for the "Palestinians" by waging an informal PR campaign against Israel among Arab states.

Hat tip Michael who adds, "North Americans should take special notice of this religious edict encouraging violent Jihad in support of the 'Palestinian' terror forces. A 'Fatwa' is universal and can be interpreted as justifying acts of terrorism against the United States and Canada. With thousands of radical Islamists residing on the continent our security services should be on high alert in anticipation of operations carried out by Jihadists on our soil."

UPDATE: IAF Warplanes Seen Flying Over Lebanon

(IsraelNN.com) IAF warplanes flew over Lebanon Sunday following a vow by Hizbullah terrorist chief Hassan Nasrallah to attack northern Israeli communities in retaliation for the IDF military operation against terrorists in Gaza.

According to Lebanese Army officials, four IAF aircraft were spotted flying in southern Lebanese air space. The aircraft, which appeared to be combat planes, remained in the Lebanese skies for more than an hour.

IRRESPONSIBLE "RESPONSIBLE" MEDIA AND THEIR ANTI-JEW BIAS

And when the media does cover the Islamic war on the West they get it wrong. The daily Mail has been an excellent source of updates, photo and news on Islam's attack on the West and the Jews in Mumbai.

Take this article: Rabbi's wife was 6 months pregnant and 2 year old Moshe was beaten

COMMENT FROM DAVID AND ATLAS:

 

One has to be oh-so vigilant!  Even this largely-sympathetic and informative article has inaccuracies which could easily have been verified, along with subtle nuances which have the effect of reducing the general impact and humanity of the story.  For example, there is the photo caption stating: "They were expecting their second child, Mrs Holtzberg's father said today," when in fact it was her fourth.  The father would never have said second.  The fact of their previous children has been widely enough noted elsewhere in the media, something this paper could easily have found and in fact should have had at their fingertips by the time this piece was penned.  It had been reported that their first child had died (at age 3 1/2, as I recall) from a genetic disease (Tay Sachs?), while their second is presently under care and treatment in an Israeli hospital for the same disease.  Moishe was their third.

 

It takes just a little imagination to realize all the soul-searching and heartache, not to mention research, these loving young parents must have gone through before deciding to have more children (by the way, I haven't seen Sarah Palin's comments on this atrocity reported anywhere).

<

And, in the 2nd paragraph, it EUphemistically refers to these islamist jihadi terrorhoid depraved murderers merely as militants.

 

And, in the 3rd paragraph it refers to ZAKA as Israel's ultraorthodox recovery service, when in fact ZAKA serves the entire population regardless of religious affiliation.

 

And, in another caption they refer to it as a murder spree. It is war. Was Normandy a "murder spree"?

 

And, in another report, referring to the father's eulogy, they translate 'We will fight them with torches!' When the more correct translation would be light (although to their credit they did explain that the meaning was Gd's teachings.)

 

And, why do they have to keep referring to the captioned mourners as ultra-orthodox.  They are mourners, like anyone else, and besides, you can see from the photo thay many wore black.  Other than noting the presence of "Israeli dignitaries" the implication was that this was a loss only to the "ultra orthodox" community, when it fact it is the entire Jewish nation that grieves worldwide. And what is up with that ultraorthodox description? These folks are delicious, good natured Jews. Ultra is nonsense.
I counted the use of the term "ultra-orthodox" SIX times in the article.

 

Or, to the captioned grieving women as "Religious Jewish women grieve" - what has that moniker got to do with it? I, and every other Jewish and non Jewish woman is greiving for these glorious people.

 

And, little noticed is that Sandra Samuel (what a non-Indian sounding name! I wonder how she got it?), the Indian woman called his "nanny" is in fact -- from the accounts I read -- the cook, who has de-facto become his nanny, making her role and devotion all the more remarkable and laudable, Gd bless her.

 

And, It's not as if this paper doesn't do research, as reflected in the following paragraph at the end of the article: "She had spent the past few months touring India , and had planned to fly from Mumbai to Israel on Monday - the 18th birthday of her son, Manuel - before she was killed, according to the Israeli Foreign Ministry Web site."  One cannot help wondering why they didn't get all their facts right, they had plenty of time to prepare background for this article.  No, sad to say, some other subtle insidious mind-set appears to be at play here.

Yes, one has to be oh-so vigilant!

HOLY WAR: ISLAM'S GENOCIDE AGAINST THE JEWS

Brooklyn Couple Killed in Attacks, Rabbi Holtzberg and wife Rivka

They murdered the Jews for being Jews. Period. It is not complicated. It's war. It's not "terrorism" or "extremism", it is Islam. How many tens of thousands have to be senselessly murdered before we fight back?
Muslims are allowed to murder Jews in cold blood because we are Jews, but it is a crime to insult Islam.

VIDEO - There is growing concern Thursday evening that the Israelis who were taken hostage by terrorists who stormed the Chabad center in Mumbai, India have been killed, this after alarming information was relayed to Israel's senior-most officials. However, there has been no definite word of their fate.

At around 4:30 am Thursday four terrorists took advantage of the fact that local security forces were operating in several locations throughout Mumbai and seized the Chabad center in the city.

Keep telling us this is not a religious war. Keep telling us that Islamic anti-semitism is a figment of Bostom's imagination. Keep telling us this is not about good and evil. I wonder if the UN is going to strongly condemn the Rabbi's family for being such a desirable target.

Is reporting this story insulting to Islam and in violation of the UN resolution against "defaming Islam"?

Chabad's website reported Wednesday night that the organization's emissary to India and his wife Rivka were missing. The couple has a two-year-old child. According to the report, one of Holtzberg's friends received an email from the rabbi at around 11:30 pm (local time). Israeli Consulate was in touch with Holtzberg, but the line was cut in middle of the conversation.

Indian media reported that a couple and their teenage son, none of them Israelis, were killed in the Chabad House, called the Nariman House. One terrorist also was killed. Gunfire occasionally has been heard from the building, which the army has surrounded.

At least 101 people, including five terrorists, have died since the attacks began, and 600 others have been wounded. The terrorists have held more than 250 people as hostages in the Chabad House, a hospital and luxury hotels. 

Several other Israelis have maintained telephone contact from their eight floor hotel rooms. The Chabad website reported that "the situation is grim." Commando forces have arrived by sea and are battling the terrorists in an effort to rescue the hostage victims.

Israel's Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Tzipi Livni spoke today (Thursday, 27 November 2008) with Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Kumar Mukherjee. Foreign Minister Livni condemned the violent attacks in Mumbai and was briefed by Foreign Minister Mukherjee on the current situation. Foreign Minister Livni offered the Indian government any assistance it might require to cope with the situation and its aftermath.

 

Foreign Minister Livni also requested the assistance of Foreign Minister Mukherjee, and the assistance of his Ministry, in the communication of any relevant information regarding developments in Mumbai to the Israeli authorities and assistance in the evacuation of Israelis from the terrorist attack sites if required.

 

"Israel, India and the rest of the free world are positioned in the forefront of the battle against terrorism and extremists. Unfortunately, we were harshly reminded of this once again yesterday. The struggle against terror must be a communal struggle, and compels us to improve our cooperation on this front. Israel is ready to assist India in any way possible." ***

Jihad in the PHILIPPINES: This MILF ain't thatMILF

"Critics said the deal was unconstitutional since it would have granted the Moro Islamic Liberation Front nearly all the elements of a separate state"

The other day I reported on Muslim rebels attack southern Philippine villages. Once again, the media, in its active role to suppress the news on the adancing global jihad, is ignoring it. Blackout. Muslims on a murderous rampage in the Philippines.  Muslim rebels attacked several southern coastal townships Monday, killing a local official and burning houses in a sharp escalation of fighting amid uncertainty over a fragile peace process, officials said.

The Arroyo government "negotiating with Islam is a fatal move. The jihad must be crushed.

Forty-two Muslim spiritual leaders, or locally known as ulama, yesterday issued a statement calling on the Supreme Court (SC) to lift the TRO on the signing of the ancestral homeland agreement. It was a result of a two-day consultative meeting on August 18 and 19 in Sarangani organized by the Philippine Council for Islam and Democracy (PCID). (more here)

No big media. Thomas wrote me, "ABS-CBN only carried one article on how an "Ancestral Homeland Agreement" was turned down by the local state Philippine government.  From what I could gather, the Muslims wanted an agreement that certain provinces were ancestral homes of certain Islamic groups.  The Muslims didn't get their way and raided villages and towns in three provinces. 

Mindinao was not raided but was on lockdown for two days.  People were evacuated from their homes and such.

I have an unconfirmed report that at least 5,000 rebels were involved. 

Nothing in the lamestream media about it except the Financial Times has this:

The Philippine government has abandoned efforts to sign a peace deal with the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front, dashing hopes for a pact already stalled by a court challenge and strained by fresh fighting.

There is now little prospect of a swift resolution to the crisis, in which more than 200,000 people have been displaced by fighting between MILF and government forces since the Supreme Court postponed the signing of the pact on August 4 pending a review of its legality.

The MILF is not the vacuous American  MILF we've come to love.

MORO HOME DEAL HAS FLAWS, PALACE SAYS hat tip Thomas

Malacañang admitted Wednesday that there are flaws in the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD) between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and that these should be addressed properly.

This came as Palace officials confirmed earlier that the government will not sign the MOA-AD anymore.

"It goes without saying, when they say there will be further review, it indicates flaws that had been observed in the MOA will be reviewed in light of things that came out in light of the petition of SC (Supreme Court)," Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said. He did not elaborate.

However, Ermita told Palace reporters the government will not push for a "renegotiation". He said that the government would rather seek a "review."

Mistake!

Ermita said the MOA-AD review is needed as MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) forces continue to bring violence to Mindanao after the Office of the Solicitor General informed the high court that the government will no longer push for the accord because of critical views and atrocities done by the rebels in several Mindanao provinces.

Press Secretary Jesus Dureza's announcement followed a petition filed by Solicitor General Agnes Devanadera before the SC seeking to dismiss an earlier bid to junk the case that questioned the legality of the MOA-AD.

Dureza said the government will instead seek to renegotiate the agreement with the MILF.

Bad move. Do not negotiate with Islam. Suicide move.

With this policy decision, he said the executive branch hopes that the Supreme Court will decide to dismiss the petitions on the MOA-AD filed by various politicians and other oppositors.

abs-cbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak reported as early as Friday that the Arroyo government will no longer sign the MOA-AD.

The MOA-AD would have expanded the autonomous region for Muslims in Mindanao, subject to a law and voters' approval in a plebiscite. It would also have granted Muslims wider economic and political powers, including 75:25 sharing of wealth from exploitation of natural resources.

Critics said the deal was unconstitutional since it would have granted the MILF nearly all the elements of a separate state. They also complained about not being consulted on the agreement.

ONSLAUGHT! SERIES OF ISLAMIC TERROR ATTACKS IN INDIA

The jihad rages on ............. Atlas reader Hodium  (who lives in India) wrote me that a series of 16 bombs went off in the western  Indian city  of Ahmedabad around 6:45 pm local time last night    killing 45 people,

He wrote, "Reports were coming in that a prior email was sent to the media that a local group calling itself the Indian Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attacks. Further, there were other bomb attacks  of similar nature in the southern Indian city of Bangalore killing 38 .

Its been reported that the group has targeted the Bombay Stock Exchange here in Mumbai city,and security is very tight with police getting and boarding public buses checking passengers seats .

There is definitely a foreign had in this??? Especially the Pakistanis and Bangladeshis along with their Arab supporters.

India, Israel and the US must stand shoulder to shoulder and draw strength from one another to confront,combat and finally defeat this evil of Islamo-facism terror ."

G-d bless you David and the free people of India that are fighting the scourge of Islamic terror.

“They are in many cases intentionally keeping you in the dark,” said the former CIA official who served in the region. The former official described one case in which a CIA agent near Waziristan, in the tribal area, pressed the ISI over several months to detain a Pakistani who appeared to be helping Al Qaeda operatives move safely around the region.“He was a known Al Qaeda associate and facilitator,” the former CIA officer said. “But you bring it up 10 times and they never take the first step of planning anything. It’s like pushing against a marshmallow.”

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN IN ISLAM HOMICIDE BOMBERS THAT IS

In Islam, women are chattel. In Islamic Sharia,  the life of female Muslim is much lower than that of Muslim man.They must not have sexual pleasure so their clitorises are cut off. Talking to a man will dishonor the family, so they must be brutally murdered in the strangely named "honor killing:. Men can and do take many wives. But it homicide bombings, they want equal treatment.

Women demand equal opportunities – to blow themselves to smithereens Scotsman

IN A bizarre demand for sexual equality, Islamic women extremists are insisting that al-Qaeda gives them the right to become suicide bombers and terrorists.

Many women have responded with a mixture of anger and dismay to online advice from Osama bin Laden's right-hand man that they should keep to being housewives.

Ayman al-Zawahiri praised the wives of al-Qaeda terrorists and said they must "be ready for any service" their men might require.

But he declared that a woman's role must be limited to looking after the homes and children of fighters – and she should not travel to any war front without a male guardian.

Zawahiri's strong views on the subject are the result of both personal experience and religious beliefs. His first wife and at least two of their six children were killed in a US airstrike in the Afghan city Kandahar in 2001.

"I tell you I have tasted the bitterness of American brutality: my favourite wife's chest was crushed by a concrete ceiling," he said.

Zawahiri – the terror group's second in command – insisted there were no women in al-Qaeda, ignoring the fact that women in the terror network's Iraq branch have carried out or attempted at least 20 suicide bombings since 2003.

Hamas, the militant Palestinian group, is open about using women fighters and disagrees with Zawahiri. At least 11 Palestinian women have launched suicide attacks in recent years.

Extremist websites have been buzzing with complaints from women extremists about Zawahiri's comments.

One woman calling herself Rabeebat al-Silah (Arabic for Companion of Weapons) wrote a long letter of complaint online. "How many times have I wished I were a man," she says.

"When Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri said that there are no women in al-Qaeda, he saddened and hurt me. I felt that my heart was about to explode in my chest."

Another, using the pen-name Ossama2001, said that Zawahiri's words "opened old wounds" and she pleaded with God to liberate women so they can participate in holy war.

A magazine for women who want to become fighters has even appeared online and carries articles on terrorist training camps for the fairer sex.

Al Qaeda offers head of American as 'gift to Bush' ABC News hat tip Rut

A leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq has announced a one-month campaign in which the group will "offer the head of an American" as a gift to US President George W Bush, according to an audiotape made public.

Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, better known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri, made the announcement in a speech entitled, "The Paths to Victory," monitored by the SITE Intelligence Group.

In the speech to Islamist forums, he said mujahedeen, or holy warriors, would "offer the head of an American as a gift to the deceitful Mr Bush, in any manner [they] see fit."

The campaign, to be called "Attack of Righteousness," was announced in "celebration" of Mr Bush announcing that 4,000 Americans had died in the war in Iraq.

Kill em all.

Who represents “mainstream Islam”?

This is a burning question that is often posed by the West to the Muslim Communities residing in the West. So immediately, we are going to face a problem. Here, the West wants us to say that the Muslims residing in Western lands are “mainstream Muslims” that follow “mainstream Islam.” In other words, they want us to forget that their is a powerful voice in the Middle East and South Asia, and instead, fill our heads with air making us think and feel that we are the superior part of the Ummah because we have an education and have more money and can speak English well. If they were to ask “mainstream Muslims in the West,” then this would have never ever become an issue. The idea of “mainstream Islam” is where the trap is placed. So the Muslims turn to media savvy people like Hamza Yusuf or so-called intellectuals like Tariq Ramadan. This trap is so well-placed and hidden that almost the majority of the Muslims in the West don’t see it. For those who do see it, they stay quiet on the issue. Why is this?

When a Muslim in the West is asked who represents “mainstream Islam,” he doesn’t realize that the West is playing their role of divide and conquer. This is their strategy. So the Muslims will look to those that “make Islam look bad” to Kuffaar - as if Islam is obsessed with its image in the eyes of the disbelievers - such as the Mujaahideen, the Mujaahideen Shuyookh such as Shaykh Abu ‘Aasim Muhammad al-Maqdisi, and the staunch Mujaahideen supporters such as Abu ‘Izzadeen and they (the ones who worry) will openly display a type of Baraa’ah against these brothers by calling them “extremists” and “radicals” etc. even though our role as Muslims is to unite - not on the basis of how the non-Muslims would see us - but on the basis of belief and activism.

Brother Anjem Choudhury, for instance, is labeled an extremist by many Muslims and Muslim groups in the West even though he never said anything which is considered Fisq, Kufr or Shirk. Forget that, he didn’t even say anything which is considered Makrooh! So what is holding us back from uniting with him and his likes? It is nothing except the obsession with the “image of Islam” (which is another issue) towards the Kuffaar. Some might ask, “So… what is the problem with that? Is that not considered Da’wah?” In some cases it is and in some cases it is not. The problem comes when we try to apply one principal (such as the old woman who threw her trash on the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam) every time he passed by) to all situations. There is a context and timing for everything and it is time for us to loosen up on the aspect of becoming fearful of what the Kuffaar might say or will say since failing to do so will make us feel stupid when reading the aayah,

وَلَنْ تَرْضَى عَنْكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلا النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ

Never will the Jews or the Christians be pleased with you unless you follow their Millah (path/religion/lifestyle). (2:120)

And every time we do read it, we find ourselves ignoring tafakkur (reflection) upon this noble verse. Is it due to the clarity in the statement of Allah Ta’aala? I believe so.

 

Bat Yeor: The Battle for America Has Just Begun.

The magnificent Phyllis Chesler conducts an important interview with the leading scholar on Islam and author of Eurabia, Bat Ye'or.

The Battle for America Has Just Begun. A Conversation with Bat Ye'or

The eminent scholar, Bat Ye’or, is tiny in height only; she is a towering intellect and a fierce judge of both human character and history. Her work predicted and documented the Islamification of Europe. We both agree that the battle for America has only begun—although I believe that it is well underway.

Here we are, two friends, ladies of a certain age, sitting in the most pleasant of surroundings , (a private club, tres ancien regime), and conversing most seriously, not about children and grandchildren, not about the ballet or the opera, (under other circumstances, a conversation we might certainly like to have), but given our times, and our views, a luxury we cannot afford. Thus, we talk about War and Peace and the Clash of Civilizations. What could be more enjoyable and yet more pathetic? Yes, pathetic. We two should be having this conversation in a government office and our views should be leading to co-ordinated government actions. More’s the pity that this is not the case.

But please: Come and join us.

Phyllis: What do you see is happening at this moment?

Bat Ye’or: The West is engaged in a very careful exercise of self-censorship. We are trying not to offend Muslim sensibilities. Western governments want to impose respect for Muslim sensibilities in the hope that this will avoid jihad. They are ready to suppress the truth.

Phyllis: What do you think of an Obama Presidency?

Bat Ye’or: Obama and his supporters do not seem to understand that Europe has failed. Today, European dissidents are forming movements against the European Union whose policies have led to the Islamification of Europe. Europe is suffering from a huge Muslim immigration problem. The Muslim immigrants do not want to integrate into a modern, tolerant state and they want to impose Sha’ria law on us all.

Phyllis: What does this remind you of?

Bat Ye’or: All these Western gestures of appeasement reminds me of the dhimmi regulations. These are a whole set of regulations whose purpose is to respect Muslim sensibilities. Therefore, Christians must conduct “quiet” services and dhimmis (infidels) must wear special clothing so as not to shock or offend Muslims with their too-fashionable or too-expensive clothing. Long ago, infidels had to dismount from their donkeys when a Muslim approached and a dhimmi could only pass a Muslim on the left (or impure) side, not on the right side.

I am not in favor of inciting anyone but really, where will this all end? And why this super-sensitivity only to Muslims? There is only one answer. Our intellectuals and politicians want to have a good relationship with the Muslim world. They think they will always have the freedoms that they currently enjoy. They do not understand that those freedoms are at risk.

Phyllis: Where does Israel fit into this picture?

Bat Ye’or: Europeans have imagined that the problem is only Israel. They were committed to allowing the Arabs to destroy Israel if that kept them, the Europeans, safe. But these Europeans do not seem to remember that Islam persecuted and then destroyed Christianity in Muslim lands. We see a repetition of this in Europe today.

Phyllis: Such politicians and intellectuals are suicidal, don’t you think?

Bat Ye’or: Absolutely. But they want so much to be loved that they are reaching out to their enemy. This is the politics of self-destruction. They are making concessions about their basic security and freedom

Phyllis: Some people are already discouraged, almost in advance, about the battle for America. What do you think?

Bat Ye’or: This battle is not yet lost. The handful of us who are working to alert others to the dangers specific to the 21st century are doing heroic work against all odds. We—you—have not failed. I believe that we are planting seeds. When America battled communism it had whole organizations committed to doing so. We—you—have nothing like that today in the war against Islamic terror.

Phyllis: I know that your work was initially attacked or “disappeared.” How much has this changed?

Bat Ye’or: My work has been well received in Italy by the most prominent Italian intellectuals. I am, however, conspicuously avoided in the UK by the media and in universities—although I did speak before Parliament two years ago. In France, everyone’s speech is less free than elsewhere. It is the most intellectually repressive society.

After I returned home, I read that French intellectuals, headed by Bernard Henri-Levy are organizing to support Aayan Hirsi Ali’s request for French citizenship. Have the French finally begun to wake up? Or does this say something about Sarkozy’s future politics and his potential interest in a high-profile symbol?

Spanish police find explosive material in Barcelona sweep
14 arrested linked to Al-Qaeda

MADRID (AFP) - Spanish police found material for making explosives and bombs in raids Saturday in Barcelona, which also led to the arrests of 14 people in connection with a suspected radical Islamist terror network, Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said.

"During our searches, we found various materials which could be explosives or be used to make explosives," Rubalcaba told a press conference in Madrid.

He also said that the network that could be characterised as "radical Islamist" and was "highly organised."

.Private radio station Cadena Ser reported that the suspects were believed to have links to a financial network for certain branches of Al-Qaeda.  All the arrests took place in the Raval neighborhood of Barcelona, home to a large Muslim immigrant population, the radio said.

In May last year (2006) in Barcelona, authorities dismantled a network that was recruiting fighters and funding militant organisations in North Africa and Iraq. Thirteen Moroccans and two Algerians were arrested in that case.

In September of 2005 a suspected al Qaeda cell leader was convicted in a Madrid court in connection with the September 11 terrorist attacks and sentenced to 27 years in prison.  Prosecutors said Yarkas and Chebli -- considered to be an aide to the alleged cell leader -- provided logistical aid for a crucial meeting in July 2001 near Barcelona between Mohamed Atta and Ramzi Binalshibh.

Barcelona, Barcelona, Barcelona, see a pattern here ?

Spain is still haunted by the Madrid bombings - carried out by Islamists Spanish authorities have arrested 14 people suspected of having links to Islamist terror groups. The Civil Guard detained the suspects in Barcelona as part of a joint operation with Spain's National Intelligence Centre (CNI). (more here)

Several premises were searched and, as the operation is ongoing, more arrests have not been ruled out.

Spain suffered at the hands of Islamist militants in 2004 when 191 people were killed in the Madrid train bombings.

UPDATE: From The Sunday Times

Spain alerts Britain after foiling bomb plot on eve of Musharraf visit

SPANISH police say they have foiled an attempt by Islamic extremists to carry out bomb attacks coinciding with a state visit to Europe by Pervez Musharraf, the president of Pakistan.

It was reported that other European countries, including Britain, had been put on alert by the Spanish for the possibility of terror attacks.

Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, the Spanish interior minister, said that five homes and a mosque in central Barcelona had been raided and a quantity of bomb-making material had been seized, including four detonators. Twelve Pakistanis and two Indians were arrested on Friday.

Rubalcaba said police acted on a tip-off from “another secret service” and discovered that some of those detained were about to purchase explosives.

Salam Alaykum All,

This is now the election season and is now time that we emphasize the importance of getting involved in the political system.  We pay taxes and unfortunately some of our money is used for things that we despise.  It is CRITICAL that the voice of the Muslim community is heard so that the country we live in is improved.  Every single Muslim should be registered to vote for the upcoming elections and preferably before the primaries on February 5th.  I would like to present one candidate who has come to the Muslim community to solicit our vote in the 2008 campaign season.  John Sutherland believes that "Islam alone shall solve the problems in the Middle Eastand further believes that "an All-Islamic regional coalition shall fill the vacuum when ALL U.S., NATO, and Western military forces go home where they belong!"

This is not an official endorsement, but I hope that if he does not win the election that his message of peace though Islam does succeed.

ISLAM MURDERS ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL GIRL

Another beautiful daughter murdered by her Muslim parents. It's in the Koran. So add  yet another  tortured, beautiful soul to the graveyard/ a beauty pageant of mutilaate, tortured young women. G-d rest her soul.  She joins the millions of ignored, voiceless, silent women whose living is a living hell. ISLAMOCIDE: MURDERING OUR DAUGHTERS (look at those young girls.)

A Muslim teenager made a dramatic plea to be saved from her abusive parents a few months before she died in what police believe was an "honour killing".  After running away from home, she told a local council housing officer: "There were regular incidents since I was 15 - one parent would hold me while the other would hit me Shafilea explained they came from a confrontation with her parents over boys' phone numbers on a phone bill. "  She said her parents, taxi-driver Iftikhar Ahmed, 48, and his wife Farzana, had prevented her going to school or her part-time call centre job.  

Shafilea Ahmed ‘beaten by her parents’ Jan 10 2008 by Thomas Martin, Liverpool Echo A MUSLIM teenager found dead in a river after fleeing an arranged marriage had suffered years of beatings from her parents, an inquest has heard.

Shafilea Ahmed, 17, from Warrington, vanished in September 2003 and her body was found five months later in the River Kent near Sedgwick in Cumbria.

She had been beaten by her mother and father, who also stole her £2,000 savings, and had fled her home in fear of being forced into an arranged marriage and left to live in Pakistan, the inquest was told.

Shafilea was a bright and intelligent young woman who wanted to go to university and become a lawyer but she was “torn” between her ambitions and her family and religion, the inquest in Cumbria was told.

Shafilea was most likely strangled or suffocated, according to pathologists.

No one has ever been charged over her death and her mother and father, Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed, both deny any involvement in her disappearance.

But homelessness officer Anne-Marie Woods said when the youngster came for an interview to get her own flat, she claimed to have suffered abuse from her parents.

Ms Woods said: “Shafilea said she had been staying with friends and she had nowhere to live and she was fleeing domestic violence and an arranged marriage that her parents had arranged for her.

“She said there had been an escalation of violence since she was 15/16 and that one parent would hold her down and the other would hit her.”

Coroner Ian Smith asked Ms Woods if Shafilea was genuine.

Ms Woods said: “She wasn’t being a drama queen. She came across as being genuinely frightened of this impending arranged marriage.”

Meanwhile, the inquest heard that Shafilea’s father was already married with a son when he wed her mother.

In a bizarre twist on the second day of the hearing, there were revelations Iftikhar Ahmed was already married to a woman in Denmark and had a son, Tony, when he married Shafilea’s mother.

وَلَنْ تَرْضَى عَنْكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلا النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ

Another thing is that we get fooled easily by those Muslims and Muslim Scholars who say, “We are living in hot times… this is dangerous times… so we need to be a lot less confrontational…” And the reality behind such a statement - and volumes can be written about it - is that it explodes with both ignorance on the subject as well as weakness in foresight. These “hot times” - as they call it - is exactly what we need and we need to make it hotter so that the ground splits us apart from the people of Baatil. Take the invasion of ‘Iraaq for example. Besides its apparent evil, a lot of good has come out of it. It has split the American Society from its Government. The American Society says no to the war and the Government says yes. This allowed the politicians to gain advantage of their political race. Of course, in no way are we supporting or speaking in favor of voting. So if it weren’t for the invasion, it would have taken a lot longer to get the American public to realize that there are crooks running their Country. Of course, we are in no way supporting the invasion or speaking in favor of it. Hence, this “splitting” between the people of truth and the people of falsehood - and it is necessary to do it now because the fight started a long time ago and every Muslim in the world needs to play their role in order to advance the victories of the Muslims - is not only important, but absolutely necessary if we want to see any fruits in the Ummah later down the line.

There's a lot more but you get the picture. Moderate Islam. Chaste ho. Honest liar. Healthy cancer.

 

ISLAM'S SYSTEMATIC MURDER OF OUR GIRLS

Where has happened to our humanity?  "Honor" killings. Shame on us.
          What is it going to take to get America's attention?

Amina and Sarah, the Said sisters

Amina & Sarah Said. "Please don't tell my Father!"

  Mr. Said physically and emotionally abused his children.

In October 1998, when Amina and Sarah were 9 and 8 years old, they accused their father of sexual abuse.The allegations were reported to the Hill County sheriff's office, where the girls told a detective their father had been touching them inappropriately. Amina told authorities she had been penetrated at least once.

And the thing is, this is the end - the final act, the culmination of the subjugation, oppression, violent abuse of women in Islam. The terror that precedes the murder is almost unimaginable.

Jihad in Kenya. Obama, your move

Over at Defense Update

Any weakening of democracy in Kenya will have a domino effect across the continent, threatening infiltration of Islamic fundamentalist elements into any unstable state. More here.

Obama's questionable ties with  violent supporter, Raila Ondinga, with allegiances to Islamic fundamentalists is a frightening mistake of enormous import.

In my piece Kenya, Islam and Obama Hussein (picked up by many bloggers) Obama's support of Odinga shows a spectacular lack of judgment or dangerous leanings. It is understandable that Obama Hussein would have Islamic sympathies having been schooled in a Jakarta madrassa, both father and stepfather are Muslim and Sarah Hussein Obama of Kenya, Barack Obama’s stepgrandmother,  is a lifelong Muslim. “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” she says. But even so, even Obama can see the terrible turn societies take when they embrace sharia/Islamic law.

In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two.  Read them all, and be sure you're sitting down.  Here's a sample:

b) Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.

c) With immediate effect dismiss the Commissioner of Police who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists to oppress the Kenyan Muslim community.

g) Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in "Muslim declared regions."]

Again, read all of them, for others are just as bad or worse.

Dr. Jack Wheeler advises Obama here to stand up for freedom and the West (here).

What a rare opportunity we have as voters to see how Obama will handle the jihadis vs the West. A telling moment. Will he renounce his allegiance to supporters of Isalm?

And here is the biggest non-surprise:  Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a "close personal friendship" with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.

When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi:

Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge."

As the riots and bloodshed continues, as Raila Odinga continues to pour tribal and religious gasoline of Kenya's fire, his stooge will need to do more than send a recorded plea for calm and conciliation broadcast on Voice of America (12/31).

Imagine instead, Obama canceling his campaign schedule, flying to Nairobi, and mediating direct negotiations between Odinga and Kibaki which triumphantly result in an agreement "for all Kenyans regardless of their tribal or religious affiliation" and end to the violence.

Returning to America, the nomination and quite possibly the presidency, would be his.

Does he have the cojones to fly to Nairobi or will he remain Obambi pleading for votes in New Hampshire?

I think it will be the latter.  He hasn't got it in him. So rather than being the hero people want him to be, he'll end up pestered by some reporter at some snow-bound campaign stop about his friend Raila wanting to impose Moslem Sharia law on Christians in Kenya.

"And a follow-up, sir - does it bother you that your friend Raila's son is named Fidel?"

Your move, Obama. Let's see what you're made of.

 

MOU between Odinga and the Muslims document here

Please check out the well documented article in Defense Update: KENYA ETHNIC CHAOS COULD PROVOKE AL QAEDA COMEBACK. That happens and you are looking at another Darfur.

The country, famous for its palm-fringed beaches and wildlife parks, visited by millions of tourists, shares borders with Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. While its 36 million people are split into more than 40 ethnic groups, Kenya was nevertheless sofar widely regarded as a haven of relative peace and prosperity in a region plagued by conflict, poverty and disease. All this might now change rapidly, if a solution cannot be found immediately to prevent total disaster. By inviting dangerous elements like Al Qaeda or it's affiliates into the void, these could make their comeback into this little 'Garden of Eden'. In fact, Kenya's attorney general Amos S. Wako has warned that his country is "fast degenerating into a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions". About a third of Kenya's population are Muslims, many more are refugees, driven by the unrest in neighboring Somalia, creating further problems of the already largely deprived Muslim population in the country.

Already in 2005 such warning came from Major General Douglas Lute, then director of operations at US Central Command "There will come a time when Zarqawi will face too much resistance in Iraq and will move on," the general predicted, referring to the head of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. (Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born Islamist who was later killed in an American airstrike). Al-Qaeda has spent years operating in Kenya and is widely remembered by the 1998 twin bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi and in neighboring Tanzania, that killed 224 Kenyans, Tanzanians and Americans and injured over 4,000 more. This bloody attack was followed shortly by a 2002 suicide car bombing targeting a hotel popular with Israelis near Mombassa and the attempted destruction of an Israeli airliner by shoulder fired missiles, from near its airport. It had awakened U.S. security officials to the dangers posed by militant Islam in East Africa. In the years since, the Horn of Africa, and Kenya in particular, has come into new focus of U.S. counterterrorism.

UPDATE: Robert Spencer over at Jihadwatch on Obama's pal Odinga;

The New York Times story from a few days ago on the people who were burned to death inside a church in Kenya blames it all on tribal warfare. But there may be other factors involved also.

"Mob Sets Kenya Church on Fire, Killing Dozens," by Jeffrey Gettleman for The New York Times:

NAIROBI, Kenya — Dozens of people seeking refuge in a church in Kenya were burned to death by a mob on Tuesday in an explosion of ethnic violence that is threatening to engulf this country, which until last week was one of the most stable in Africa.

[...]

Government officials said Tuesday that they would crack down on anyone who threatened law and order, and they banned political rallies. Meanwhile, Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the election, has vowed to hold a million-person march on Thursday, which many Kenyans fear could become a bloodbath.

[...]

On Monday night, several hundred Kikuyus barricaded themselves inside the Kenya Assemblies of God church in Kiambaa, a small village near the town of Eldoret. The next morning, a rowdy mob showed up.

According to witnesses, the mob was mostly Kalenjins, Luhyas and Luos, Mr. Odinga's tribe, which makes up about 13 percent of the population. They overran Kikuyu guards in front of the church and then pulled out cans of gasoline. There were no police officers around, witnesses said, and no water to put the fire out.

Most people escaped. But in addition to those killed, dozens were hospitalized with severe burns. Witnesses said most of the people hiding inside had been women and children.

The Eldoret area has become a killing zone. Residents say dozens of Kikuyus have been hacked to death, including four who were beheaded on Monday.

In Nairobi, a much-feared Kikuyu street gang called the Mungiki seems to be taking revenge. According to residents in a Luo area, the Mungiki, who are said to take an oath in which they drink human blood, were sweeping through the slums and killing Luos.

The government is now blaming Mr. Odinga for the violence.

That they are blaming Odinga is significant.

1. Kenyan Christians could be subjected to Sharia law

2. Raila Odinga, the current frontrunner in the upcoming presidential election in Kenya, has promised that he will implement strict Islamic Sharia law if he receives the Muslim vote in the country and is elected president.

3. 30 Muslims arrested in Kenya for arms smuggling

4. Muslim supporters want Muslim politician to counter Christian evangelism in northern Kenya. "The African Front ," by Joshua Hammer in the New York Times, December 23, 2007:

He supported Kura's claim that Harugura was being financed by Somalis from the Northeastern Province. "They believe that Harugura is the person to bring back the Rendille tribe from Christianity," Lesiantam said. "And he has promised that during the first five years, he will have mosques built in every urban center we have in this constituency."

5. Islamic charities in Kenya are providing Al-Qaeda with operating funds. "Al Qaeda Skimming Charity Money: U.S., Saudi Crackdown Has Largely Failed To Stop Money Flow," from CBS News, June 7, 2004.

UPDATE: For more on Obama's close ties to Kenya and his bigamist father with many wives, go here. (hat tip rut)

Barack Sr, a Muslim, would go on to marry two more women - Barack Jr's mother Ann Dunham, an American he met during a scholarship to the United States, and an American teacher called Ruth.

[...]

By the summer of 1959, he was bound for Hawaii, leaving Kezia three months pregnant with Auma.

Instead, Barack Sr met Barack Jr's mother, Ann, in Honolulu. She was an 18-year-old fellow student from Kansas and within months they were united in what appears to have been a bigamist marriage.

Not really, Muslims can take many wives.

Barack Jnr was born in August, 1961.

Two years later, Barack Snr was accepted at Harvard and left Ann and their little boy behind for the east coast.

Throughout this time he had written regularly to Kezia, even sending pictures of Ann and Barack Jr.

What he failed to tell his first wife was that he had also met a second new woman, an American teacher called Ruth.

Nor did he tell her, on his return to Kenya in 1965, that she had become his third wife.

Irving Police Seek Suspected Double Killer Father suspected of murdering his two teenage daughters. WBAP

Irving, Texas (WBAP) -- Irving police are searching for a father suspected of killing his two daughters Tuesday night. At about 7:30 police got a cell call from a woman saying she had been shot, but didn't know her location. Police searching the area where the call originated were unable to locate the vehicle. An hour later, responding to a call of a suspicious vehicle in a parking lot, police found two female victims dead of gunshot woulds. Investigators have identified the two as 17 year-old Sarah Yaser Said, and 18 year-old Amina Yaser Said. They are now looking for the father, Yaser Abdel Said. He is said to be fifty years old, 6'2", weighing about 180 pounds. Said was last seen wearing a black turtleneck, tan slacks, and a brown coat. He is believed to be armed and dangerous.

Dangerous? Nah only to Western women, infidels and non believers. No worries.

UPDATE: Robert over at The Washington Times has done an extensive post on Lone Jihadi aka Sudden Jihad Syndrome here;

Sudden Jihad Syndrome

Sara's story is also linked at the Counterterrorism Blog, Reality Check and Rhymes With Right, where Greg summarizes:

In other words, the writings of Islamists may be sufficient to push some susceptible individuals to act upon the ideology of Islamic radicalism expressed by terrorist groups. Having pulled an ideological justification from extremist sources, their actions should not be seen as isolated, but are instead a part of the global jihad being waged by the likes of bin Laden. In other words, look for more cases of homegrown terrorism linked by ideology, not direct command-an-control, to radical groups abroad.

LEWISVILLE (CBS 11 News) ― Friends and classmates are in shock after two teenage sisters are murdered, police say, by their own father.

Washington Times reports this as well.

UPDATE 10:15 p.m.:

The Dallas Morning Newsconfirms the girls' family is Muslim:

Friends describe Amina and Sarah as quiet but well-liked students at Lewisville High School. They played tennis and soccer and were enrolled in many Advanced Placement classes.

"They were extremely smart -- like geniuses," said Allison Villarreal, a senior at Lewisville High, where Amina was a senior and Sarah was a junior.

Liz Marines, secretary of the Lewisville High School Student Council, had classes with both of the sisters and also remembers their scholastic abilities.

"Amina was very nice with everybody. She helped me in [Advanced Placement English] class," she said. Sarah was a sophomore when she took an Algebra II class with Liz, who was a junior at the time.

She said the sisters, who wore typical American clothes, didn't talk much about their family. "I didn't know they were Muslims until she told me they were Egyptian and Muslim," Liz said

That was no Christmas Picnic Caper, that was Islamic Jihad!

As if anyone really believed it was a picnic robbery  on Christmas eve..........in Mauritania. Sell me a bridge why don't you?

Al-Qaeda Link in Tourist Killings Probed News.com.au/Reuters

Mauritania suspects Islamic extremists allied to al-Qaeda were among the killers of four French tourists gunned down when they stopped for a Christmas Eve picnic. After initially citing robbery, as the motive for Monday's attack outside Aleg, 250km southeast of the capital Nouakchott, investigators said they were hunting three killers, two of whom were suspected members of Islamic militant groups. They viewed the attack as potentially a high-profile strike by Islamist extremists aimed at Europeans at Christmas, and carried out 12 days before the January start of the Lisbon-Dakar rally that will cross Mauritania. Three turbanned gunmen fired on the picnicking French with automatic weapons at a roadside halt on Monday, killing four of them outright and wounding a fifth...Mauritania's prosecution service said in a statement two of the men being sought were "young Mauritanians suspected of belonging to extremist Salafist groups". This reference pointed to an Algeria-based Islamic militant group formerly known as the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), which is accused of attacks in North Africa. [read more]

The Burka Is a Weapon

Well documented here and here over at the IRIS blog as well.

More evidence of what I have been documenting, that The Veil is a Weapon:

Woman Caught with Bomb Under Burqa

Afghan intelligence agents said Monday they had detained a woman hiding a bomb-filled waistcoat of the type used in Taliban suicide attacks under her all-covering burqa.

The 55-year-old woman was followed from the eastern province of Kunar after a tip-off and arrested in the town of Jalalabad, an official in Kunar’s intelligence department told AFP.

“She was carrying the suicide waistcoat for the Taliban. We had intelligence reports that she was working for the Taliban,” said the official, who asked not to be identified by name.

The woman was being questioned “to find out more about her network,” he said.

Most Afghan women still wear the burqa, which was mandatory under the 1996-2001 Taliban government, and cannot be searched by men at security checkposts.

Carter and Arafat Conspired Against the West

It appears Dhimmi Carter may have advised Nazi Arafat to reject Israel's offer of everything at Camp David.On the one hand, Jimmy Carter appears to be a seditious war criminal, OTOH the Pali Islamazis would never agree to any peace. Bottom line, they are annihilationists. The want Israel, the Jews dead. Gone. Yasser was a Jew killer, a nazi, much the same way as Hamas, the Hezbos etc. Arafatbastard's (Yasser's real name Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini ) hero Hajj Amin Al Husseini conspired with Hitler. Arafat adopted the Nazi template. That is the fact. Islamic ant-semitism is a fact (it's in the Koran). This notwithstanding, Carter is in fact a nazi and a traitor.

What takes my breath away is Carter's perfidy. The damage that one evil idiotarian President can wreak on the greatest country in human history is incalculable. Carter was instrumental in the birth of an Islamic Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and development of Islamic jihad as a growing global evil power. The man ought to be on trial for his life.

Fenig  at American Thinker reports here;

Dershowitz on Carter  Ethel Fenig, American Thinker

Did former president Jimmy Carter advise Yasser Arafat to reject Israel's offer for peace at Camp David?  Alan Dershowitz suggests he did.

It seems that when Carter appeared at Brandeis to plug his book Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid, he pledged to answer any questions that students e-mailed him afterward. Many took him up on the offer, and Carter did answer every question... except one. That one was this: Did you advise Yasser Arafat to reject the peace offer Israel made at Camp David, at the end of Clinton's term? According to Professor Dershowitz, some 15 students e-mailed that question, and they were the only students not to be answered.

This takes on even more relevance in light of the Quartet--and maybe the rest of the world--rushing to reward the Palestinians and Mahmoud Abbas with unaccountable billions more to encourage a Palestinian state that "will live side by side in peace with Israel." Dershowitz recounts a telling incident at the University of California, Irvine which is a "hotbed" of anti-Israeli agitation:

He [Dershowitz ] spoke to a large crowd, and first asked those who considered themselves pro-Israel to raise their hands. About 250 hands were raised. He then asked them if they would accept a Palestinian state, side by side, living in peace with Israel. Every hand went up.

Then he asked how many considered themselves pro-Palestinian. About 150 hands were raised. Finally, he asked this group whether they would accept a Jewish state of Israel, living side by side in peace with a new Palestinian state. Not a single hand went up.

Another Vomit Burp from Al Qaeda

Annapolis will forever haunt us. Today al qaeda released yet another in latest in a long line of jihad porn containing a photo montage. Expect the left to swoon, "look they're reaching out!"

Al Qaeda Releases New Recording ABC News

A new al Qaeda communique featuring Al-Qaeda's number-two man was released on the internet Friday morning.

References to last month's peace conference in Annapolis indicate the recording is recent. The message, in Arabic, has not yet been fully translated, but early analysis indicates it contains fulminations about Mideast leaders' positions expressed at the late November event.

Experts have authenticated the tape and confirmed the voice belongs to Zawahiri. It was released by As Sahab, the terror group's propaganda operation.

The recording – audio over a still photomontage showing images of Zawahiri, Bush and Middle Eastern leaders – is 20 minutes, two seconds long.

Vigilantes kill 40 women in Iraq's south Yahoo News

By SINAN SALAHEDDIN, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD - Religious vigilantes have killed at least 40 women this year in the southern Iraqi city of Basra because of how they dressed, their mutilated bodies found with notes warning against "violating Islamic teachings," the police chief said Sunday.

UPDATE: Spencer adds here,

"Jihadists kill 40 women for "un-Islamic behavior." Don't be concerned, however. This AP story is full of assurances that it is actually the killers who are behaving in an un-Islamic fashion. Now if only some Muslims could convince the killers of that."

Expert: 'Christian groups in PA to disappear'

The ever-dwindling Christian communities living in Palestinian-run territories in the West Bank and Gaza are likely to dissipate completely within the next 15 years as a result of increasing Muslim persecution and maltreatment, an Israeli scholar said Monday.

"The systematic persecution of Christian Arabs living in Palestinian areas is being met with nearly total silence by the international community, human rights activists, the media and NGOs," said Justus Reid Weiner, an international human rights lawyer in an address at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, where he serves as a scholar in residence.

"Christian leaders are being forced to abandon their followers to the forces of radical Islam," Weiner said.

Iraqi school guard and wife beheaded as children watch Christian Today hat tip Rut

BAGHDAD - Three suspected al Qaeda militants, including two sisters, beheaded their uncle and his wife, forcing the couple's children to watch, Iraqi police said on Friday.

The militants considered that school guard Youssef al-Hayali was an infidel because he did not pray and wore western-style trousers, they told police interrogators after being arrested in Diyala province northwest of Baghdad.

The three cousins executed Hayali and his wife Zeinab Kamel at the all-boys school in Jalawlah in Diyala province, village police chief Captain Ahmed Khalifa said.

Sunni Arab communities across Iraq have been turning against al Qaeda because of its indiscriminate killings and strict interpretation of Islam, which includes a ban on smoking in public and forcing schoolgirls to wear veils.

Rampaging Through Brussels

Muslim Turks face off security forces in Brussels, October 24

Turks Set Cars Alight in Brussels

From the desk of Paul Belien on Wed, 2007-10-24 23:21

Tonight (Wednesday evening) heavy rioting erupted in Turkish quarters of Brussels, the capital of Belgium. Several cars were torched and shops destroyed. Police forces were unable to restore law and order in the boroughs of Sint-Joost-ten-Node and Schaarbeek where since last Sunday the animosity among Turks is running high. Turkish flags are omnipresent. In some streets the Turkish crescent and star adorns almost every house.

The Turks’ anger was provoked by rising tension with Kurds along the Iraqi-Turkish border and by the debate in the American Congress about the Turkish genocide of the Armenians in 1915. On Sunday night Turkish youths in Sint-Joost destroyed the pub of Peter Petrossian, an ethnic Armenian who had to flee for his life. Apparently, some Turks think that by attacking the Armenians in Brussels they can convince the world that the Turks never committed a genocide of the Armenians.

Tonight the youths attacked Kurdish shops. They also set fire to several cars.

Belgium’s Muslim population consists mainly of Moroccans and Turks. In the past rioting Muslim youths were mostly Moroccans. The Turkish community is controlled by the Turkish embassy. The latter used to restrain the Turkish population so as not to upset the Belgian authorities and thwart Turkey’s chances of EU admission. This policy seems to have changed recently. In Antwerp, too, Turkish youths demonstrated tonight.

The events in Brussels indicate that in admitting large numbers of immigrants Belgium has also imported the ethnic quarrels of the Middle East.

Meanwhile in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, Moroccan youths have been burning cars for more than a week now. Today a 15-year old Amsterdam schoolboy was stabbed by youths. The boy survived the attack but is seriously wounded. On 11 October a 16-year old Amsterdam boy was stabbed to death in school. On 4 September a similar incident occurred in the Belgian city of Ghent where a 14-year old Belgian boy fought for his life after being stabbed in the throat by two immigrant youths from his school.

Go read it all. It's this or anarchy, I'm afraid.

RoP Blows up Little girls

Girls’ school blown up in NWA The Post

MIRANSHAH: Pro-Taliban militants blew up a girls' school in reid on Sstive tribal area bordering Afghanistan, security officials said on Sunday.

The school building was destroyed in the attack in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan region, after militants planted explosives there late Saturday, a security official said on condition of anonymity. "There were no casualties as the building was empty," he added. The attack came amid an upsurge in violence in Pakistan's deeply conservative tribal zone where militants consider female education un-Islamic.

Hamas calls on Abbas to stop negotiations with Israel hat tip wolf

GAZA, (PIC)-- In the light of the continued Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people the latest of which was in Nablus and surrounding villages Hamas has called on Abbas to stop negotiating with Israel.

Ha!

Hamas called the Arab and Islamic states to break their silence and take practical steps against the Israeli occupation, which still insists on Judaizing Jerusalem and threatening the Aqsa Mosque, by breaking the siege imposed on the Palestinians and halting all forms of normalisation of relations with the occupation.

Occupation now!

The movement also called on Palestinian resistance factions, through its spokesman Fawzi Barhoum, to unite all over Palestine and defend the people, the land and holy places with the aim of achieving freedom from the occupation and sovereignty over Palestinian lands and holy places.

There's more garbage here.

Apparently Abbas is right there with them. Hamas, Hezb'Allah, Islamic Jihad it's all the same animal.

Palestinians won't attend Annapolis J Post hat tip Yid with Lid

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday told visiting US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the Palestinians won't go to the Annapolis conference at any price.

His comments came as senior PA officials said it was almost certain that the conference would be postponed because of the failure of Israeli and Palestinian negotiators to achieve progress on any of the fundamental issues such as Jerusalem, the borders and refugees.

One official described Rice's current shuttle in the Middle East as a failure, pointing out that she had failed to persuade Israel to change its "tough" position regarding Palestinian demands.

Israel is the problem???????????? The Jews have  nothing left to give to the ginormous Arab lands thast surround them. The one teeny tiny democracy in the whole Islamic Middle East .....

Condirasha, wishing ain't gonna make it so. Stop already. To put it bluntly, she buys this Palestinian narrative, the historical lies. So of course she's going to pressure Israel since she wants to remain intentionally ignorant about the facts. Well, that's the corrupt Arabist State Department for you....

Islamazis/Nazlims Inculcate Frosh

Extremists ‘invade 25 campuses' 11 October 2007 hat tip wolf
By By JC Reporter
Extremist Muslims are thought to have defied campus bans in order to recruit during freshers’ weeks, setting up a further five to 10 front groups, according to the Union of Jewish Students. Campaigns director Yair Zivan said that most of the groups belong to Hizb ut-Tahrir, one of several radical organisations banned by university unions across the country.

It circumvents the ban by setting up societies affiliated to university unions and using pseudonyms such as New Civilisation Society, the union says.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is now thought to be operating at almost 25 universities. “They are more careful and cleverer than they were, but that does not mean that the fundamental ideology has changed,” said Mr Zivan.

He added that Hizb ut-Tahrir is not believed to recruit students for acts of terror, but is thought to radicalise people who can then go on to get involved in terror. “The radicalising effect that groups like this can have on campuses is a real concern, especially in view of the antisemitism they have been linked with in the past.”

UJS warned that Jewish students also face a year of intensifying hostility from the far-left. Although the University and College Union has dropped its academic-boycott plans, “the campaign invigorated anti-Israel students and they will be looking for ways to ride on the momentum that drove it”, Mr Zivan said, predicting a “spill-over from anti-Israel activity to antisemitism”. 

Kashmir: Violent Protests Against NY bar

Andrew Bostom sent this on. His remarks follow. Spencer asks, "And now: Kaaba-Bar Rage. Does anyone know if this bar even actually exists?" I reply, "does it even matter?"

Kashmir: Muslim students demonstrate against Kaaba-shaped bar in New York  Jihadwatch

"Kashmir students decry US insult to Kaaba," from IRNA (thanks to Twostellas):

Students in Northern Kashmir today held demonstrations to decry a bar built in the shape of the holy Kaaba in New York.

Hundreds of students of the local Degree College took out a protest march through the streets of Baramulla town, chanting anti-American and pro-Islam slogans.

The students said that building a wine-shop or a bar like the Kaaba amounted to the desecration of the holy sites of Islam. "Muslims all over the world should protest at this," they said.

They demanded that the US should apologise to the Muslim world over the Kaaba replica, and close down the bar immediately.

Andrew Bostom explains:

"Kabaa Rage" is Ancient and Jew Conspiratorial!

Conspiratorial accusations against Sa‘d ad-Daula  in late 13th century Baghdad, including "Jewish Domination,"and plans to attack Mecca itself and convert the Kaba to a heathen temple, from the forthcoming "The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism,"

The brief rise and calamitous fall of Sa‘d ad-Daula—which mirrored the experience of his Jewish co-religionists—took place during this Mongol epoch. Sa‘d ad-Daula was a Jewish physician, who successfully reformed the Mongol revenue and taxation system for Iraq In recognition of these services, he was appointed by the Mongol emperor Arghun (who reigned from 1284-1291) to the position of administrative Vizier (in 1289) over Arghun’s Empire. According to Bar Hebraeus, ¹²⁵

The king of kings [Arghun] ordered that Sa‘d ad-Daula, the Jew, hitherto the Governor of Baghdad, should be appointed Chief of the administrative officials..throughout all provinces of the Empire

Despite being a successful and responsible administrator (which even the Muslim sources confirm ¹²⁶), the appointment of a Jew as the Vizier of a heathen ruler over a predominantly Muslim region, aroused the wrath, predictably, of the Muslim masses. This reaction was expressed through and exacerbated by “…all kinds of [Muslim] diatribes, satirical poems, and libels”. ¹²⁷ Ibn al-Fuwati (d. 1323), a contemporary Muslim historian from Baghdad recorded this particularly revealing example which emphasized traditional anti-Jewish motifs from the Qur’an: ¹²⁸

In the year 689/1291 a document was prepared which contained libels against Sa‘d ad-Daula, together with verses from the Qur’an and the history of the prophets, that stated the Jews to be a people whom Allah hath debased…

Another contemporary Muslim source, the chronicler and poet Wassaf , according to Fischel, “…empties the vials of hatred on the Jew Sa‘d ad-Daula and brings the most implausible accusations against him”. ¹³⁰ These accusations included the claims that Sa‘d had advised Arghun to cut down trees in Baghdad (dating from the days of the conquered Muslim Abbasid dynasty), and build a fleet to attack Mecca and convert the cuboidal Ka‘ba (i.e., the holiest place and structure in Islam) to a heathen temple. ¹³¹ Wassaf’s account also quotes satirical verses to demonstrate the extent of public dissatisfaction with what he terms “Jewish Domination”, adding to the existing line, “Turn Jews, for heaven itself hath turned a Jew”, his own, ¹³²

Yet wait and ye shall hear their torments cry

And see them fall and perish presently

Korean Hostages: Convert or Die

Korean Hostages Told Convert to Islam or Die – British Broadcasting Corporation  Voices of Martyrs

On September 12, South Korean Christian aid workers held hostage by the Taliban in Afghanistan for six weeks, reported being beaten and ordered at gun point to convert to Islam, according to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). According to the BBC, the former hostages told a press conference they were made to work like slaves while in captivity. Jae Chang-hee told reporters, "We were beaten with a tree branch or kicked around. Some kidnappers threatened us with death at gunpoint to force us to follow them in chanting their Islamic prayer for conversion. I was beaten many times. They pointed a rifle and bayonet at me and tried to force me to convert." Jae Chang-hee added,
"We lived like slaves. We had to level the ground for motorbikes, and get water and make a fire." BBC reported that Yu Jung-hwa said she thought she was going to die. "The most difficult moment, when I had a big fear of death, was when the Taliban shot a video. All 23 of us leaned against a wall and armed Taliban aimed their guns at us, and a pit was before me. They said they will save us if we believe in Islam. I almost fainted at the time and I still cannot look at cameras." Recalling how Pastor Bae Hyung-kyu was led away to his death, the BBC said Han Ji-young, in tears, added, "Bae didn't even look at us when he was leaving the room. He only said, 'Overcome with faith.'"

Sheikh Al-Baghdadi Issues Ramadan Address: “They Plan and Allah Plans Too…” hat tip the Wolf
Sep 16, 2007  By Umm Saad, Jihad Unspun | Arabic Source: Al-Fajr Media

Sheikh Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi has issued a 31 minute Ramadan address that covers a variety of topics, including a $150,000 reward for the head the Swedish cartoonist who defamed the Prophet as well as making clear that this Ramadan signals the end of the “Western Age”.

This lengthy audio address from the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq highlights the plight of some of the weakened Iraqis, who after four long years of war are being worn down and manipulated by those who claim to be Muslims. Sheikh also announces the “Expedition Of The Martyr Of The Ummah Abu Musab Az-Zarqawi” that is sure to be of grave concern to the American’s in Iraq during Ramadan.

Here are some key excerpts from the Amir of the Islamic State’s address titled “And The Unbelievers Plotted And Planned, And Allah Too Planned, And Allah Is The Best Of Planners”, published uncut and uncensored, as translated by JUS.

We remind our viewers that the opinions and points of view expressed in this statement are those of the author and shall not be deemed to mean that they are necessarily those of JUS, the publisher, editor, writers, contributors or staff

Excerpts: And The Unbelievers Plotted And Planned, And Allah Too Planned, And Allah Is The Best Of Planners

“So congratulations to you Oh Slaves of Allah, that Allah has brought upon you this month, and extended for you in your age, to forestall what has gone past, and follow what has preceded you.

Oh Ummah of Islam, the Jihad in the Land of two Rivers, is facing fierce attack today, and a violent war at the hands of betrayal and treachery.

Oh our people in the Land of the Two Rivers, I know that many of you have fallen in the trap of the huge misguiding campaign, led by the current of the abandoning or surrender, with the tempting promises, lured many of the youngsters, who entered the corps of treachery and puppetry under separate names, then this is a call to awaken and rescue yourselves….

And it is necessary for our steadfast Ummah to know, that the Ikhwaan Al Muslimeen (Muslim Brotherhood) in the Land of the Two Rivers and at their head, the Islamic Party (Hizb Al Islami) are practicing the worst expedition to efface the rights of the religion in Iraq, and especially the prestigious Jihad…

Some of the resistance units that wear the dress of Salafiyah falsely have entered this fray, hiding them selves behind the dogma of the Brotherhood conspiracy…

Oh Soldiers of the Islamic State, O the youth of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Now every insignificant and subservient one has started to dare to come against us; from the Cross worshipers to Satan worshipers and even the cow worshippers, and our honors and blood have become the cheapest things in the world.

Even those who claimed neutrality earlier have now dared to rise against the Muslims, even those who used to claim neutrality, like the small country of the Cross, insignificant and subservient, Sweden….

So from today onwards we incite to kill, to spill the blood of Lars Vilks', the one who drew the caricatures and attempted to diminish the status of our Prophet, peace be upon him.

We declare that in the month of generosity, the month of Ramadan, a prize of $100, 000 dollars to the one who kills this unbeliever criminal, the prize will rise to $150, 000 dollars if he is slaughtered like a sheep. We also declare a prize of $150, 000 dollars to the one who brings the head of the director of the magazine that published the matter.

We are today on the door step of the beginning of a new era, and a turning point and a change in the map of the area and the whole world. We today are witnessing the end of the lie of the western age, and the awakening of the Islamic Giant, and that is exactly what Bush warned against, in his last statement…

I am honored to declare on the First of Ramadan a ghazwah (expedition) named “The Expedition Of The Martyr Of The Ummah, Abu Musab Az-Zarqawi” that will end on the 7th of Shawwal, and is a part of the blessed Honor Plan, by the will of Allah…..”

Islam and it's New Gift to Humanity: Converts

Hard to keep track of Islam's continuing gifts to civilization and the advancement of humanity. Europe: New Converts Quick to Adopt Terrorism

CONVERTS TO ISLAM MOVE UP IN CELLS WaPo hat tip Michael

Arrests in Europe Illuminate Shift

BERLIN -- Religious converts are playing an increasingly influential role in Islamic militant networks, having transformed themselves in recent years from curiosities to key players in terrorist cells in Europe, according to counterterrorism officials and analysts.

The arrests this month of two German converts to Islam -- Fritz Gelowicz and Daniel Schneider -- on suspicions that they were plotting to bomb American targets are just one example of terrorism cases in Europe in which converts to Islam have figured prominently.

In Copenhagen, a convert is among four defendants who went on trial this month for plotting to blow up political targets. In Sweden, a webmaster who changed his name from Ralf Wadman to Abu Usama el-Swede was arrested last year on suspicion of recruiting fighters on the Internet. In Britain, three converts -- including the son of a British politician -- are awaiting trial on charges of participating in last year's transatlantic airline plot.

"The number of converts, it seems, is definitely on the rise," said Michael Taarnby, a terrorism researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies. "We've reached a point where I think al-Qaeda and other groups recognize the value of converts, not just from an operational viewpoint but from a cultural one as well."

Finally these folks find a a repository for their evil, Islam.

Religious converts are sometimes more prone to radicalization because of their zeal to prove their newfound faith, analysts said. They are also less likely to attract police scrutiny in Europe, where investigators often rely on outdated demographic profiles in terrorism cases.

UPDATE:  That's the 411 on those converting to, for those converting from or out of Islam:

-During the execution of the seaerch warrants we found materials to produce explosives, and one of the reasons for our action is that we are talking about very unstable explosives.

Dore Gold, Run for Prime Minister

Gold is reallywhat Israel needs. Now. From FDD;

HOW AL-QAEDA SET UP SHOP IN GAZA: Dore Gold argues that too many diplomats still don't understand what motivates such terrorist groups as al-Qaeda. He observes:

The gasoline fueling al Qaeda has been its sense of victory, not political grievances. Its recruits have responded to Web clips of U.S. armored vehicles in Iraq exploding, or the beheading of Russian soldiers in Chechnya. Indeed, al Qaeda was established in 1989, after the Soviet Union was defeated in Afghanistan. It was then that Osama bin Laden and his followers said to themselves that they had just beaten a superpower and were replicating the great victories of the early armies of Islam that crushed the Byzantine and Persian Empires.

It should be remembered that in the 1990s, the U.S. and its allies addressed many political grievances of the Islamic world in Kuwait, Somalia and especially in Bosnia. In the Arab-Israeli sector, the Clinton administration devoted more time to Arab-Israeli diplomacy than most of its predecessors, with the 1993 Oslo Accords, the 1994 Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty, the 1997 Hebron Agreement, the 1998 Wye Agreement, and finally the attempt to reach a permanent-status agreement at Camp David in 2000. But al Qaeda only grew in strength. There were attacks in Saudi Arabia in 1995, East Africa in 1998, Yemen in 2000 and finally 9/11.

In other words, there was no correlation between U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to ameliorate the grievances voiced by radical Islamic groups and the appeal of al Qaeda.

What the Gaza pullout showed, however, was that mishandling the Israeli-Palestinian issue can exacerbate the threat of radical Islam, especially if it deepens the sense in radical Islamic circles that their military efforts have paid off.

UK Muslims "groom" little white girls for sex

The term Asian in England is the euphemism for "muslim" Just as in France the euphemism is "immigrant youth" even if the "immigrant is third generations. Can you imagine if the religions were reversed and it was Christian men grooming little Muslim girls for sex? Look out!

Grooming of white girls for sex is exposed as two "Asian" men jailed. TimesOnline hat tip Clyde

A hidden world in which "Asian" men “groom” young white girls for sex has been exposed with the jailing yesterday of two men for child-abuse offences.

Zulfqar Hussain, 46, and Qaiser Naveed, 32, from east Lancashire, were each jailed for five years and eight months after exploiting two girls aged under 16 by plying them with alcohol and drugs before having sex with them.

Both men pleaded guilty at Preston Crown Court to abduction, sexual activity with a child and the supply of a controlled drug.

Despite being told explicitly by police and social services that both girls were under-age and should be returned to care, the men picked up one girl from a children’s home in Blackburn and then drove on to collect her friend who was living in temporary foster care in North Wales.

Mother tells how daughter, 14, was groomed Naveed, from Burnley, gave one girl the first of five Ecstasy tablets at a motorway service station before having sex with her on the back seat of the car while the group drove back to Lancashire. The court was told that the two men later took the girls to an address in Blackburn where Hussain, from Blackburn, had sex with the second girl and gave her a total of ten Ecstasy tablets.

Yesterday Judge Andrew Gilbart, QC, jailed the two "Asian" men under new sex laws designed to protect youngsters from being groomed for sexual activity. Judge Gilbart said: “This is a truly shocking offence. You knew them. They were exploited for sex by the two of you. No other description is possible. They were under-age girls who you knew it was your responsibility to protect and not exploit.”

The trial came amid growing concern at the attitudes of some "Asian" men towards white girls which campaigners for women claim few people wish to address.

Parents have complained that in parts of the country with large "Asian" communities white girls as young as 12 are being targeted for sex by older Asian men yet the authorities are unwilling to act because of fears of being labelled racist.

Ann Cryer, a Labour member of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, has been at the forefront of attempting to tackle the problem after receiving complaints from mothers in her constituency about young "Asian" men targeting their under-age daughters.

Although campaigners claim that hundreds of young girls are already being passed around men within the "Asian" community for sex, she said that attempts to raise the problem with community leaders had met with little success, with most of them being in a state of denial about it.

After the case, the mother of one of the girls, who cannot be named for legal reasons, welcomed the jail terms. “This will hopefully act as a warning to others,” the woman said. She had had to leave the court as details of the men’s sexual relations with the teenagers were read out. After the trial, Ms Cryer said that young "Asian" men were caught between two cultures having been brought up in a Western society in families while retaining the cultural values of the "Asian" sub-continent.

Say what? What kind of culture rapes little girls? Rhetorical question. A real woman is too much for them.

Hamas Builds Naval force with whose dough?

While the US cuts freedom fighting,  lif saving aid to Israel, Hamas is building a naval force to defeat the forces of good. A Naval force. Yeah, you read that right.

Hamas army: Of course they are smiling. Barbarism has triumphed and the Western media, the leftists, the State department driven Bush administration, the Ol Merde "government," and the Islamic UN has surrendered in installments.

Hamas establishes naval defense force in Gaza Ynet

Group officials tell Ynet newly built force will secure Strip's coast, fight off IDF vessels and drug dealers and prevent fishermen's collaboration with Israeli ships. Force does not own ships, but has heavy machine guns, mortars

Hamas has established a new naval defense force, headed by one of the group's senior commanders Jamil al-Dahashan, that will be entrusted with guarding the Gaza Strip coast, Ynet has recently learned.

Iraq: Christians Raped, Murdered Systematically

Christians under siege worldwide. It is our duty to right this wrong. Not just in Iraq but everywhere Christians are being persecuted. What is wrong with everyone?

Murder and Rape of Iraq's Christians Now the Norm IRIS Blog

Koran-inspired attacks on infidels are the reason that minorities are fleeing every Muslim-majority area of the world, with only one exception--Israeli Jews. Despite this, Western governments and even Christian groups themselves are largely silent:

Iraq's outnumbered Christians and other religious minority groups are targets of a terror campaign and are facing a dire situation where killings and rapes have become the norm, a panel of witnesses testified yesterday on Capitol Hill.

In a hearing convened by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, Canon Andrew White, vicar of St. George's Anglican Church in Baghdad, and four other panelists unfolded tales of horrors overtaking Christians, Yezidis (angel worshippers) and Mandaeans, members of a pacifist faith that follows the teachings of John the Baptist.

"The situation is more than desperate," said Mr. White, who described how Christians in Baghdad have been told to convert to Islam or be killed. Hundreds of those who could not afford to flee the country are living in churches without adequate food or water, he said.

"In the past month, 36 members of my own congregation have been kidnapped," he said. "To date, only one has been returned."

Iraq's eight remaining Jews, now hiding in Baghdad, are "the oldest Jewish community in the world," he said, referring to the 597 B.C. Babylonian conquest of ancient Judah that brought the Jews to the region as captives.
