IT'S WAR

Rabbishouse

Horror scene: Blood spatters the walls inside the Jewish centre where Moshe was trapped as Islamic gunmen killed his parents during last week's attacks

Tears of the two-year-old boy trapped in Mumbai Jewish centre as his parents were murdered Daily mail (hat tip wolf)

Moshe

Clutching a toy basketball, his face contorted by tears, this is Moshe Holtzberg at today's memorial service for his parents. The two-year-old orphan's rabbi father and mother were murdered in Mumbai's Jewish centre

The family of Rabbi & Rebbetzen Gavriel Holtzberg have set up this fund for poor little Moshie and his sibling.

UPDATE: Watch the video here: the cries of emah (mama) (hat tip Judith)

The video was filmed yesterday during a memorial service in the rather impressive Mumbai synagogue. The maternal grandparents of the boy also attended the ceremony before they returned to Israel for the funeral . The Israel TV video is in Hebrew, but you can get the gist as the emotions are raw from the images. Especially potent, aside from Moshe crying 'Emah" (mother), is when the tearful grandfather prays "G-d gives, G-d takes, Blessed be the name of the bestower of blessings, Hashem.for now & forever" He continues in broken English, ".G-d give me two kids, Rivki & Gabi, my kids" (The Indian man holding Moishe during the memorial service is apparently Sandra the cook's boyfriend. Sandra, who saved the child, will accompany the grandparents to Israel. The woman sitting next to them is Moishe's grandmother.) Near the end of the video you see ZAKA investigators praying in the destroyed Synagogue inside the Chabad Nairima House. The entire house was riddled w/ bullets & blood & there was no means of escaping alive, according to the commentator & visuals. A bullet whole penetrated the Torah, torn in the portion of the Torah "after the death of the holy ('acharei mot kedoshim"] . Last shot in the video shows the Grandparents, Moishie, holding a balloon, & Sandra at the airport bound for Tel-Aviv.

MUMBAI: MUSLIMS MERCILESSLY TORTURED THE VICTIMS, JEWS GOT IT THE WORST

I am angry. I am sick in my soul. The West refuses to engage this enemy that has declared all out war on our civilization. The media, the UN, the political elites bow to Islam. They refuse to speak its name. They refuse to stop immigration. They are afraid.

I am not afraid. I AM CALLING FOR NEW LEGISLATION -"Mumbai legislation". Rollback all pending legislation on gun control. Rollback all gun control,  effective immediately. If the Indians had been armed the Muslims would have been stopped dead in their tracks. If this photographer had been armed, he would have shot jihadis and not the pictures of he blood lust in their  eyes. Would pious NY cops react the same way?

Mumbia

New York has severe gun control laws. Who needs the second amendment more than New Yorkers? They are targeting railways? Imagine Grand Central or Penn Station at rush hour .... or Times Square anytime. No guns for criminals, no guns for felons ... but upstanding American citizens are entitled to arm themselves - a right guaranteed  by the constitution,  for a  reason.

WE, THE PEOPLE, MUST FIGHT THIS WAR. Our elected officials are on the Saudi payroll, emasculated by petrodollars. Obama declared on page 261 of his book, should the political winds shift ......he would side with the Muslims.

The left will not fight this war. Historically, leftists have always slept with totalitarian regimes. We are witnessing it here in the US yet again. What is discouraging are those on the right that have turned tail on the war and moved left.

They have become part of the problem.

We must stop the State department from importing whole Muslim communities - they come and seek to impose sharia and Islamic supremacism. We must pass Tancredo's jihad legislation. We must get on a war footing.

The world has 1.2 billions Muslims. They must take sides. They must take to the streets shouting not in our name. They must take action to fight this pox on humanity.

These attacks on the West will not only continue, they will get worse. The enemy is empowered and they are winning. I have been documenting this holy war for years, what they are planning for the US is difficult to imagine. They were planning Mumbai for over a year.

Doctors shocked at hostages's torture Rediff India (hat tip Cathy)

They said that just one look at the bodies of the dead hostages as well as terrorists showed it was a battle of attrition that was fought over three days at the Oberoi and the Taj hotels in Mumbai. Doctors working in a hospital where all the bodies, including that of the terrorists, were taken said they had not seen anything like this in their lives.

"Bombay has a long history of terror. I have seen bodies of riot victims, gang war and previous terror attacks like bomb blasts. But this was entirely different. It was shocking and disturbing," a doctor said.

Asked what was different about the victims of the incident, another doctor said: "It was very strange. I have seen so many dead bodies in my life, and was yet traumatised. A bomb blast victim's body might have been torn apart and could be a very disturbing sight. But the bodies of the victims in this attack bore such signs about the kind of violence of urban warfare that I am still unable to put my thoughts to words," he said.

Corroborating the doctors' claims about torture was the information that the Intelligence Bureau had about the terror plan. "During his interrogation, Ajmal Kamal said they were specifically asked to target the foreigners, especially the Israelis," an IB source said.

It is also said that the Israeli hostages were killed on the first day as keeping them hostage for too long would have focused too much international attention. "They also might have feared the chances of Israeli security agencies taking over the operations at the Nariman House," he reasoned.

Asked specifically if he was talking of torture marks, he said: "It was apparent that most of the dead were tortured. What shocked me were the telltale signs showing clearly how the hostages were executed in cold blood," one doctor said.

The other doctor, who had also conducted the post-mortem of the victims, said: "Of all the bodies, the Israeli victims bore the maximum torture marks. It was clear that they were killed on the 26th itself. It was obvious that they were tied up and tortured before they were killed. It was so bad that I do not want to go over the details even in my head again," he said.

Corroborating the doctors' claims about torture was the information that the Intelligence Bureau had about the terror plan. "During his interrogation, Ajmal Kamal said they were specifically asked to target the foreigners, especially the Israelis," an IB source said.

UPDATE: Re-running the link to Bostom's piece at American Thinker. Dr. Bostom wrote me,

"The "coverage" of the Mumbai massacre(s) has been an appalling spectacle of  IGNORANCE, denial, and scapegoating--of the victims.

If Hindus and Jews (and in the end, all potential non-Muslim victims of jihad) don't realize their shared predicament--targeting by jihad hatred-- after these events, then they never will, possibly hastening their separate destruction."

UPDATE: Spencer here: "Did the murderers feel justified in this torture by this Qur'anic injunction? "Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews" (5:82)?"

HOLY WAR: ISLAM'S GENOCIDE AGAINST THE JEWS

Brooklyn Couple Killed in Attacks, Rabbi Holtzberg and wife RivkaMumbai_rabbi_6001

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.

“Ethos” of the Mumbai Jihad on Chabad? “Whenever a Jew is killed it is for the benefit of Islam.”

This is not about India- Britain investigating links to India attacks The British government is investigating whether some of the attackers in the deadly India shootings could be British citizen. (hat tip Randall)

MUMBAI: MUSLIM TERRORISTS KIDNAP CHABAD RABBI AND FAMILY

UPDATE: Unconfirmed: Chabad Couple Murdered in Mumbai

8 hostages freed!Eight Jewish hostages held by Islamic terrorists were released from the Chabad Housein Mumbai on Thursday evening in an Indian commando operation, according to a state official.(hat tip wolf)

UPDATED 10:00 am 11/27: See below for communique from Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs

UPDATE: '10-15 Israelis held in Chabad House and Mumbai hotel'

UPDATE: (Video) Part of the Muslim's plan was to kidnap the Jews

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.

Did the Rabbi have a UZI and if not, why not? For every Jew, a 22.

Report: Mumbai Terrorists Abducted Chabad Rabbi's Family

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

(IsraelNN.com) Muslim terrorists in Mumbai reportedly have abducted Chabad Rabbi Gabriel Holtzberg, his wife Rivka and their child. Indian television reported that six Israelis are being held hostage.

Indian media reported that a couple and their teenage son, none of them Israelis, were Rabbi_chabad_family 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.

UPDATE 11:17pm Please see below for a communique from Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the terror attack in Mumbai.

 

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." ***

Islamic Jew Hatred

Bostom over at Jewcy (!).

Is Antisemitism Intrinsic to Islam?
By Andrew G. Bostom
A Three-Part Series Examines the Origins of Hatred

Part 1:

Part 2: Having introduced the living uniquely Islamic institutions of jihad war and dhimmitude in Part 1, Part 2 examines how jihad and dhimmitude operate in tandem with central Antisemitic motifs from Islam's foundational texts.

Part 3: Part 3 focuses on the Antisemitic motifs in Islamic eschatology and how they have become enmeshed with the "corporeal" Antisemitism from Islam's foundational texts to engender a contemporary atmosphere of genocidal Muslim Jew hatred. This third and final installment also illustrates the interaction between indigenous Islamic Antisemitism, and two salient "imports" from colonial Europe-specifically, the blood libel, and Nazism. Concluding observations illustrate the scope of contemporary Muslim Jew hatred fueled by orthodox motifs in Islam's foundational texts, and reinforced by Islam's central religious educational shrine, i.e., Al Azhar University, and its Muslim Pope equivalent, to textbooks widely used in Islamic schools across the globe, even those within the United States.

Understanding the Islam in Islamic Antisemitism

By Andrew G. Bostom
Created 11/17/2008 - 13:31

Introduction:

Recently Jewcy posted a short opinion piece "On Islamic Antisemitism" which consisted almost entirely of extracts from brief, superficial works on the subject by Bernard Lewis, Daniel Pipes, Robert Wistrich, and Efraim Karsh--none of whom, despite their other areas of expertise, have ever studied Islamic Antisemitism in a serious, comprehensive manner. The glib conceptions of these authors--which are simply affirmed without ever giving any substantive proofs (perhaps because the relevant doctrinal and historical data provides negative proofs), and repeated verbatim and uncritically in the posting by Michael Ezra--remind me, as a clinical investigator in medicine, of a scene from Woody Allen's film "Sleeper."

In the film Allen portrays Miles Monroe, owner of a health food store in Greenwich Village who is cryogenically frozen, and awakens 200 years in the future. An authoritative, all-knowing doctor who claims to be possessed of "...what we now know to be true," tells Miles, offering him a cigarette, "Here, smoke this. And be sure you get the smoke deep down into your lungs." To which Miles replies: "I don't smoke." The Doctor then declares: "It's tobacco! It's one of the healthiest things for your body!"

There are incontrovertible and overwhelming hard data-pathological and epidemiological-which demonstrate a major causative role for smoking in both the predominant form of lung cancer (i.e., adenocarcinoma), and premature coronary heart disease. Smoking is to these diseases as the Islam in Islamic Antisemitism is to this scourge of Jew-hatred, past and present. It is as destructive to our social and moral health to deny this reality, as it is to human public health disease prevention efforts to deny the causative link between cigarette smoking and adenocarcinoma of the lung, or premature coronary heart disease.

What is the basis for my claim? Contra the shallow contemporary works quoted by Michael Ezra, serious scholars of Islamic Antisemitism -- S.D. Goitein, Hartwig Hirschfeld, Georges Vajda, and Haggai Ben-Shammai -- have demonstrated all of the following: clear historical evidence of specific Islamic antisemitism, from the Geniza record of the high Middle Ages (including the coinage of a unique Hebrew word to characterize such Muslim Jew hatred, i.e., sin'ūth), published in full by Goitein as of 1971; the content of foundational Muslim sources detailing the sacralized rationale for Islam's anti-Jewish bigotry, including Hartwig Hirschfeld's mid 1880s essay series on Muhammad's subjugation of the Jews of Medina, based upon the earliest pious Muslim biographies of Muhammad; George Vajda's elegant, comprehensive 1937 analysis focusing primarily on the hadith (the putative words and deeds of the Muslim prophet Muhammad, as recorded by pious transmitters); and much more recently, Haggai Ben-Shammai's concise 1988 study of key examples of Jew-hatred in the Koran and Koranic exegesis.

My 3-part presentation will introduce evidence compiled from the seminal works of these scholars, Islam's foundational texts, and historical eyewitness accounts-adduced to considerably greater extent in The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism -- which elucidate how the living legacy of Islam's primal anti-Jewish animus, i.e., specific Antisemitic motifs in Islamic theology, including Islamic eschatology, the uniquely Islamic institution of jihad war, and its corollary institution, dhimmitude -- operate in tandem with regard to the annihilationist Muslim Jew-hatred directed at the Jews of Israel, in particular.

'THE ENTIRE LAND OF ISRAEL BELONGS TO THE MOSLEMS"

Israel had a golden opportunity to take these beasts out back in summert 2006. Everything changed at that moment. It's been downhill ever since. Global antisemitism has been ratcheted up and the global jihad is empower and moving apace.

Caught on Video: The response of the UN to Antisemitism - Applause

What does Israel think now? What does Israel think is going to happened when Amahdi Nejad is all nuked up. Hezb'Allah is Iran.

These pigs HAVE NO CLAIM to our Jewish homeland. They are just Jew haters. There is no mention of Jerusalem in the "koran". None. It's all about destroying the Jewish people.

'Palestine must be returned to Arabs' Jerusalem Post

The entire land of Palestine is holy and belongs solely to the Arabs, Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech delivered on Friday in honor of Iranian_protestor Al-Quds Day

"Palestine, from the sea to the river, is the property of Arabs and Palestinians and no one has the right to give up even a single grain of earth or one stone, because every grain of the land is holy. The entire land must be returned to its rightful owners," Nasrallah said.

He said Israel and the "Jewish lobby" ruled the world and influenced the US and its allies, and that jihad was the only way for Muslims to achieve results.

"Our lands will be liberated, not by begging the US or the West, but with will, determination, resistance and sacrifices made by the region's peoples," he said.

More from the land of the savages:

Iranian-Hamas Version of Jerusalem Day: Death to Israel  

(IsraelNN.com) Tens of thousands of Muslims in Iran and Gaza celebrated their version of Jerusalem Day on Friday with a mockery of the Holocaust and a call for suicide bombings to facilitate the "death of Israel." Former Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini initiated the "Quds Day" celebration after the 1979 revolution establishing the Islamic Republic.

  Iranian Muslim students at the Palestine Square in Tehran unveiled a book mocking the Holocaust, with its cover depicting a Jew with a crooked nose while drawing the outline of dead bodies. The book depicts Jews leaving the Nazi gas chambers with a counter that records "5,999,999," one less than the round figure of six million Jews who were Nazi terror victims.

One picture shows Jews entering a Nazi extermination furnace and leaving as terrorists who are toting guns.

In Gaza, Hamas legislator Ahmed Abu Helbiya called on Arabs "to contain the enemy and halt its [Israel's] aggression by planning martyrdom operations." He praised the February murder of eight yeshiva students in Jerusalem, the bulldozer attack in the capital that killed three more Jews and this week's attempted murder of Israeli soldiers by an Arab driver from Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, Iran was one of the subjects in a debate between United States presidential candidates Senators Barack Obama and John McCain. The Republican nominee warned that a nuclear Iran would result in the threat of a "second Holocaust."

He backed stronger sanctions against Iran. Sen. Obama agreed but added, "We also have to engage in tough direct diplomacy [lol] with Iran" and reasoned that not talking to Tehran is tantamount to "punishing them."

What a full of shitnik. You don't think he actually believes such nonsense do you?

However, the Democratic senator admitted that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "may not be the right person to talk to" because he "is not the most powerful person in Iran."

McCain replied, "Let me get this right. We sit down with Ahmadinejad and he says, 'we're going to wipe Israel off the face of the earth,' and we say, 'no, you're not?' Oh Please."

"A Modern Maimonides"

Scott Johnson has a moving tribute to Dr. Andrew Bostom today. Kol Hakavod!

A Modern Maimonides Powerline

Moses Maimonides is the great medieval Jewish sage.  "From Moses to Moses, there was none like Moses" is the epitaph on his tomb. He was a physician, a philosopher and a profound religious scholar. Maimonides had an abiding concern for the survival of the Jewish people. His reputation was such that Jews throughout the world turned to him for advice.

In his "Epistle to Yemen" (1172), Maimonides advises the Jews of Yemen living under Muslim subjugation how to conduct themselves. The "Epistle" is an extraordinarily eye-opening work. Maimonides observes that "none has matched [the nation of Ishmael] in debasing and humiliating us." I learned from Ralph Lerner's Maimonides' Empire of Light, which includes both a translation and interpretation of the "Epistle," that some manuscripts show Maimonides in the "Epistle" to be referring to the prophet Muhammad as "the Madman."

Like Maimonides, Andrew Bostom is a physician and scholar. He seems, like Maimonides, to be driven by a passion for the survival of the Jewish people in the face of irrational hatred. He is in any event driven to convey historical truth on the subject of Islam. In The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims (2005), Bostom compiles and explores Islamic texts on the subject of jihad.

THE FJORDMAN REVIEW:
The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism

Over at Jihadwatch, the definitive Bostom review:

Fjordman reviews The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism

Dr. Andrew G. Bostom asked me earlier to write a review of his latest book, The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History, which I am more than happy to do. I consider his previous book The Legacy of Jihad to be the most complete book published to date regarding the history of 1400 years of Islamic Jihad, from Indonesia to France.

Islam is hostile to everybody, but Jews are singled out for particular hatred. If you believe the prominent historian Bernard Lewis in his book What Went Wrong?, "The earliest specifically anti-Semitic statements in the Middle East occurred among the Christian minorities, and can usually be traced back to European originals." In other words, everything bad in the Islamic world is imported from Europe. This view fits well with the general anti-European bias of modern media and academia.

It is true that anti-Semitism exists elsewhere, too. I discuss this in my essay The Causes of Anti-Semitism at the website Atlas Shrugs. But according to Robert Spencer in Religion of Peace?: Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't, "While Christian anti-Semitism has been minimized, it still exists, particularly in the Middle East where some Christians have absorbed the anti-Semitism of the Islamic culture which surrounds them."

As Ibn Warraq – be sure to read his latest book, Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said's Orientalism – says in the forward to The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism:

"During the last fifteen years, certain Western scholars have tried to argue that, first, Islamic antisemitism—that is, hatred of Jews—is only a recent phenomenon learned from the Nazis during and after the 1940s, and, second, that Jews lived safely under Muslim rule for centuries, especially during the Golden Age of Muslim Spain. Both assertions are unsupported by the evidence. Islam 1, that is, the Islam of the texts, as found in the Qur'an and hadith (the sayings and deeds of the Prophet and his companions) and in the sira (the biography of Muhammad, which obviously overlaps with the hadith), and Islam 2—that is, the Islam developed or elaborated from those texts early on by the Qur'anic commentators and jurisconsults, and then set in stone more than a millennium ago—and even Islam 3, in the sense of Islamic civilization—that is, what Muslims actually did historically— have all been deeply antisemitic. That is, all have been anti-infidel, so that Christians too are regarded with disdain and contempt and hatred, but the Jews have been served, or been seen to have merited, a special animus."

The myth of the tolerance of Muslim Spain lives on, as my text Refuting God's Crucible demonstrates. The connection between Nazism and Islam has been made by many observers before, but usually with the emphasis that Nazism was like Islam, not the other way around:

"We do not know whether Hitler is going to found a new Islam. (He is already on the way; he is like Mohammad. The emotion in Germany is Islamic; warlike and Islamic. They are all drunk with wild god). That can be the historic future." - Karl Jung, The Collected Works Volume 18, The Symbolic Life (1939)

"Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message." - Winston Churchill on Adolf Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf, in The Second World War, Vol. I (The Gathering Storm).

Oh and it gets better. Here.

55 Years Iraqi Jewess Held Captive by Muslim Neighbor

These stories, tell the whole story.

After 55 Years of Muslim        Captivity, Woman Escapes to        Israel *  IRIS

G-d bless Israel and George W. Bush for saving countless oppressed people in Iraq. (Remember how Leftists used to claim that Iraq was invaded to take oil for America?) I wonder why she didn't seek justice in Iraq...

Fifty-five years after she was abducted from her family's home in Baghdad by her Muslim neighbor and forced to renounce her Judaism, Hannah Menashe managed to flee Iraq and find her way to one of Israel's European embassies. Her long, exhausting journey is finally coming to an end these days, as she will soon be reunited with he family in Israel, who thought her murdered all these years.

Hannah's fascinating story begins in the 1950s, when her Baghdad-native family -- parents and seven siblings -- decided to immigrate to Israel. Hannah, already married to a Jewish Iraqi, was also planning to make aliyah, when fate struck: A Muslim neighbor, who was aware of the family's plans to immigrate, kidnapped the Hannah to keep her by his side. Her siblings only have a vague recollection of that horrible day. They went looking for Hannah, they say, but the earth had swallowed her.

Decades passed, the siblings made aliyah and the family expanded, all the while keeping their bitter secret to themselves. Shortly after arriving in Israel, Hannah’s mother died at 37, her heart broken by losing her child.

Six months ago, out of the blue, the family received a surprising phone call. The woman on the other side of the line was Ravit Topol from the Ministry of Interior, with an extraordinary story she was looking to verify.

It turns out Hannah had been forced to become a Muslim and had raised her neighbor’s children for 50 years.
No one in the Baghdad neighborhood knew about her secret or her Jewish roots, and she was afraid her husband would kill her if she tried to contact her siblings.

When her husband died a year ago, the now 76-year-old Hannah escaped Baghdad under the guise of being being a war refugee. She was able to reach Europe through an Arab country and decided to locate an Israeli embassy.

"I am Jewish, I want to go to Israel," she said in fluent Arabic and with great excitement. The embassy found it hard to believe her story; but when she named her relatives in Israel, the embassy officials realized the truly incredible nature of the story unfolding before their very eyes and quickly contacted the Ministry of Interior’s population administration.

US REP TAKES ON JEW HATING MUSLIM STUDENTS AT UIC

Anything and everything, but no cartoons (propeller beanie be upon him)
YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS AT WORK ON GENOCIDE.

Uci

A Call to Duty at UCI Counterterrorism Blog hat tip rise

In a strongly worded letter, U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) called on the Chancellor of the University of California, Irvine (UCI), to condemn rampant anti-Semitism at events organized and sponsored by its Muslim Student Union (MSU). The letter pointed out that such an event held just weeks ago, appeared “intended to encourage violence against the State of Israel and propagate the spread of anti-Semitism.”
In his letter, Rep. Sherman explained that, “Comparing current Israeli policies to the Holocaust, the systematic murder of the Jewish people of Europe, is clearly anti-Semitic. It wholly demeans the Jewish victims of the Holocaust and vilifies the Jewish citizens of Israel.”

[...]

As an example, witness Abdel Malik Ali, from an MSU event in May 2006, ranting crazily about NewsCorp Chairman Rupert Murdoch being a "Zionist Jew" (Murdoch is not Jewish), and then, in detailing an alleged encounter with a Jewish woman planning on joining the Israeli Defense Forces, Ali stated:

"You've already lost. Because the people who you are fighting are coming to die, meanwhile you are coming to live. And once you deal with a people who are ready to die, who say either victory or martyrdom, you can't fight against that."

In the same video, Malik Ali accuses the Israelis of having "done" 9/11.

At the most recent MSU event that prompted Sherman's letter, Malik Ali (at 5:38), called for more war:

"When people saw the Muslims go against the Zionists whether it was on the battlefield, whether it was in the courts, or anywhere else, they always saw that the Muslims would prevail, and the Muslims were not frightened."

In the same speech, Malik Ali calls for open support for Hamas and Hizballah, which he states are not terrorist groups.

For Mohammed Al-Asi's part, at a 2002 MSU event at UCI, he called for war and violence against Israel:

"If the only thing the Israelis and their mentors, and their sponsors and their superiors in Washington DC are going to understand is the use of force, than that's the language we're going to communicate with, we're going to use force. And whatever was taken by force can only be retrieved by force."

And in 2001, again at UCI, Al-Asi described how Jews control the U.S. government:

"We have a psychosis in the Jewish community that is unable to co-exist equally and brotherly with other human beings. You can take a Jew out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the Jew. And, this has been demonstrated time and time again in Occupied Palestine. And, now they have American diplomats and politicians and decision makers and strategists in their pocket because they have the money."

At this year's event, Al-Asi was asked whether he supported Palestinian suicide bombings. He responded, naturally, in the affirmative:

"You phrase the question and then you want the answer to be phrased according to the way you want it. That's not the way things go. Give a person the right to respond in his own way. I am telling you. These people who are strapped with explosives, they are seeking military targets. These military targets are located in civilian areas. Therefore, they're collateral damage. Can we understand this simple fact?"

Like Malik Ali, Al-Asi said he believes Israelis were responsible for the 9/11 terror attacks.

After the OCR report was released, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a press release defending the remarks like those made by Al-Asi and Malik Ali as "legitimate criticism of Israel" and "critical thinking." According to the self proclaimed prominent Islamic civil rights group, calling for Israel's destruction, defending suicide bombings and stating that the Israelis were behind 9/11 is "legitimate criticism of Israel."

But it's not just guest speakers spewing venom at UCI. The June 2004 issue of the MSU's publication, Alkalima, contained an opinion piece praising Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hizballah, and describing Hamas-founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and former Hamas senior leader Abd Al-Aziz Al-Rantisi as martyrs. The article also identifies Muslim Brotherhood luminaries Hassan al Banna and Sayyid Qutb as martyrs. The article states:

[T]he Arab people have realized that the only solution to the Zionist situation is through military force, which is espoused by Hamas, Hizb' Allah, Islamic jihad, and other Islamic resistance organizations.

MISTRIAL IN JEWISH FEDERATION MASSACRE:ISLAM IS A MENTAL ILLNESS

More poisonous fruit from the misinformation and miseducation of Americans concerning Islam.  The lone jihadi who gunned down helpless Jews in cold blood  at the Jewish Center in Seattle was acting in the name of Islam. And yet the jury acquitted him on one charge and was  "hopelessly deadlocked" on the other charges. He chased a Jewish woman down the stairwell as she ran for her life - he killed her. The jury was deadlocked on jihad or mental illness.

This mistrial is an OUTRAGE. Based on this premise,  every Muslim that engages in jihad is insane? This lone jihadi was following the dictates of the Koran. Bostom's book, The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism ought to be mandatory reading and listening as well. It's in the koran.

This Muslim was just following orders. The West is lost in a sea of mendacity. Killing Jews is as crime against humanity. Shame on this terrible jury. When it happens to non-believers, infidels, and kufirs close to them, they will weep bitter tears.

Jihad in a post 9/11 America should be a capital crime, punished to the full extent of the law.

Mistrial in case of Seattle Jewish center shooter  AP hat tip Davida

SEATTLE - A mistrial has been declared for the man accused of the 2006 shootings at a Seattle Jewish center that left a woman dead and five others wounded.

Jurors had indicated in questions posed to the judge that they were hopelessly deadlocked over whether Naveed Haq was not guilty by reason of insanity as he claims. The judge declared a mistrial Wednesday on the eighth day of deliberations.

Prosecutors say they will retry Haq on murder and attempted murder charges. Jurors acquitted him of one of the 15 counts against him.

Haq held a teenage girl at gunpoint to force his way into the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle on July 28, 2006. Once in the office he began railing against U.S. policies and opened fire. Pamela Waechter was killed as she fled down a stairwell.

UPDATE: Reader Naar painfully writes," I am not Jewish but have a passion for the Jewish people. I remember feeling fear when the shooting happened and even told my office mates "I bet it is a Muslim after Friday prayers killing Jews." They shrugged and showed no sense of fear. I was right and their nonchalant reaction was and is more frightening. I was even more angry and sick to my stomach when I heard that he wasn't getting the death penalty and his parents' letter of thanks to the prosecution for "sparing" him. People even turned it to an anti-gun issue. People all over Seattle felt sorry for the guy, he had "mental" problems  he was angry about Israel-so it was understandable why he went to kill some Jews.
You know Haq's family works at the Hanford Nuclear Plant in Richland, WA? And his dad founded an Islamic Center in the Tri-cities area?
And the women Haq chased down the stairs and killed,  he shot her in the head after she was already down."
