Would you believe Liberals?  The very same morons, imbeciles, and tyrannical idiots who railed against George Bush for destroying our freedoms through the Patriot Act.  The bill's sponsor is idiot Linda Sanchez (D-CA) (almost all of her 14 co-sponsors are liberal idiots as well).  I hope and pray that my calling her a complete moron causes her substantial emotional distress.  In fact, I wish she would have a complete mental breakdown over this blog article.

The best bet is to avoid interviewing anyone who you suspect may be a Muslim.  The reason is that once you have interviewed a Muslim and you don't give him or her a job, you are likely to get sued for religious discrimination &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/avoid-hiring-muslims.html#fn3" name="_fn3" &gt;(1)&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many reasons not to hire Muslims; one of them is that Muslims like to apply for jobs their religion forbids them to do &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/avoid-hiring-muslims.html#fn4" name="_fn4" &gt;(2)&lt;/a&gt; or for which they are not suited or qualified.  Another is that it costs more to accommodate Muslims, a lot more: Five prayer times a day, wash basins, separate eating rooms, Muslim sensitivity training for non-Muslim employees, trying to find other work when they refuse to do the job which they were hired to do &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/avoid-hiring-muslims.html#fn5" name="_fn5" &gt;(3)&lt;/a&gt;, etc. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The main reason not to hire Muslims is that you will encourage more to come to America.  Imagine that you are a restaurant owner and you are stupid enough to hire Muslims.  If enough idiots like you hire Muslims your community will have enough Muslims to cause the building of a Mosque.  What's wrong with that?  How about they try to put you out of business because your restaurant serves alcohol and you are too close to their mosque &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/avoid-hiring-muslims.html#fn6" name="_fn6" &gt;(4)&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Jews have been in America since the founding of our country, you can't tell that they are here except for their great contributions to American culture.  Muslims have only been coming in recently and already they want to change how WE live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To prevent interviewing a Muslim, screen the resumes carefully to weed out possible problem candidates and if possible hire a private investigation firm.  It's cheaper doing that than hiring a Muslim and reaping the losses from doing so.  You are less likely to get sued for not hiring a Muslim if you don't actually talk to one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;/h2&gt;  To keep oneself in the least legal hot water, you are urged to consult a specialist in employment law before establishing a screening program or hiring anyone.  If you do not want to hire Muslims do everything you can to avoid interviewing them.  If it cannot be helped and you find yourself with an appointment with a fellow named Mahmud bin Azz, for example, as an added precaution try to have a photo of Yasser Arafat (autographed if you can fake it) behind you when conducting the interview.  Hopefully when you turn down Mahmud for the job of bacon slicer he won't sue you for discrimination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpted from Planck's Constant: &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2009/04/giving_letters_of_reference_to_former_employees.html"&gt;Giving Letters of Reference to Former Employees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr style="height:1px;width:50%;border:1px solid #000;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Notes&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="article"&gt;&lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/avoid-hiring-muslims.html#_fn3" name="fn3"&gt;(1)&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Radarsite, &lt;a href="http://radarsite.blogspot.com/2008/06/muslim-job-applicant-hire-me-or-else.html"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Muslim job applicant: Hire me or else&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems too lunatic to be true. But here a hair salon boss reveals how she was driven to the brink of ruin - and forced to pay £4,000 for 'hurt feelings' - after refusing to hire a Muslim stylist who wouldn't show her hair at work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Sarah Desrosiers, meeting Bushra Noah was not a moment in her life that she would describe as especially memorable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only was it brief - lasting little more than ten minutes - but it was rapidly obvious to Sarah that Bushra was not the person for the junior stylist position she was trying to fill at her hairdressing salon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah's reasoning? Quite simply that Bushra, a Muslim who wears a headscarf for religions reasons, had made it clear she would not be removing the garment even while at work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah Desrosiers says she did nothing wrong by not employing Bushra Noah and would have done the same if an employee refused to remove a baseball cap&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="article"&gt;&lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/avoid-hiring-muslims.html#_fn4" name="fn4"&gt;(2)&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Planck's Constant, &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/11/13_things_to_consider_before_hiring.html"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;13 Things to Consider before Hiring Muslims&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is morally wrong to discriminate against anyone for their religious beliefs. However, refusing to hire someone precisely because their religious beliefs conflict with the purposes for which the business was organized is not discrimination any more than refusing to hire a black actor to play an albino is racist. It is not illegal to discriminate against midgets if the NBA does not hire them as players, nor should it be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why you should never hire Muslims: a person of any other religious persuasion does not even want to have a job which offends his beliefs. Jehovah's Witnesses do not apply for jobs at blood banks, devout Catholics who oppose abortion do not apply for jobs at abortion clinics, religious Jews do not butcher pigs, nor do Hindus slaughter beef for McDonald's. Muslims on the other hand, because they believe the world must ultimately become Dar al-Islam and cater to their whims, gladly infest businesses whose practices are in conflict with their faith. They insist Western culture must change to accommodate their beliefs. In these cases, confrontation is delightfully enjoyed by Muslims.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="article"&gt;&lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/avoid-hiring-muslims.html#_fn5" name="fn5"&gt;(3)&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Islam in Action, &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2008/09/uk-muslim-sues-supermarket-chain.html"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;UK Muslim Sues Supermarket Chain, Because he had to Handle Alcohol&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Muslim from Derby is suing supermarket giant Tesco for religious discrimination because he was asked to handle crates of alcohol against his beliefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohammed Ahmed, of Upper Dale Road, Normanton, also accused Tesco of victimisation and harassment during a three-day employment tribunal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Ahmed was employed as a warehouse operative, which included driving fork-lift trucks, at the firm's Lichfield warehouse in September last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 32-year-old told the tribunal he was not made aware he would be required to handle alcohol when he started the job, a claim denied by Tesco.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="article"&gt;&lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/avoid-hiring-muslims.html#_fn6" name="fn6"&gt;(4)&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Infidels are Cool, &lt;a href="http://infidelsarecool.com/2009/04/07/tennesse-muslims-whine-about-restaurant-serving-alcohol-being-too-close-to-mosque/"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Tennesse muslims whine about restaurant that serves alcohol being too close to mosque&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Building owner Trevor Hill wants to offer alcoholic drinks along with home-cooking-style dinner and lunch menus, and he hopes to launch the eatery in about a week. He'll keep the restaurant open as late at night as is still profitable in hope of appealing to the young residents of Fort Sanders, where the building is located.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The possibility that the restaurant could serve as a local drinking hangout bothers mosque attendees like board member Nadeem Sidiqqi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam prohibits the consumption of alcohol, but Sidiqqi said the protest isn't an attack on drinking in general, just a call for buffer zones for religious establishments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"People may say 'we may not want to go to this mosque' if it's not a good environment," Sidiqqi said. "You want an area where you can bring your kids or your family."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hill counters that mosque-goers are unlikely to be disturbed by noise or patrons from his restaurant. The entrances are on opposites sides of the two buildings, and Hill said that he has offered to work with mosque board members during the holy period of Ramadan, when Knoxville-area Muslims often pray at the mosque late into the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hill feels he is being unjustly targeted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've taken a building that's been a total eyesore … really gone out on a limb and taken a risk for the benefit of the Fort Sanders community," he said, explaining that he has a mortgage and roughly a $1 million investment in the building. "It's not fair for me to be discriminated against any more than it is for them to be discriminated against."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-3047332528102438382?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/3047332528102438382" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/3047332528102438382" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/avoid-hiring-muslims.html" title="Avoid Hiring Muslims" /><author><name>bernie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06651895179601333716</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08521833980028891362" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SeaW7fOfXgI/AAAAAAAAAkU/tMWyQ0iWUPI/s72-c/yassersm.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-8519117264276824259</id><published>2009-04-06T16:52:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T16:57:36.245-05:00</updated><title type="text">The Islamist World View - Part II, Women</title><content type="html">&lt;img class="alignleft" src="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/3968/queenraniapb.jpg" alt="" height="113" width="81" /&gt;Appearing on Oprah Winfrey's TV show in 2001, Jordan's westernized Queen Rania claimed that women in Islam are equal to  men, and that we in the West have serious misconceptions on the role of women in the Islamic world. At the time she said: "Islam views women as full and equal partners to men, so rights are guaranteed by Islam."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Islam views women as full and equal partners to men, so rights are guaranteed by Islam. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Really?!?!? Does Her Majesty actually believe that, or does she &lt;strong&gt;wish&lt;/strong&gt; to believe it? Is she just saying it because she is talking to a Western audience? How does one  reconcile Queen Rania's statement with the sad reality of women's daily life in the Islamic world, or in the Islamic communities in the West?h How does one reconcile the Queen's words with the words of the Qur'an?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following are a few passages from the Qur'an - from many such - on the status of women:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Surah 4:3&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6951/sura43.gif" alt="" height="303" width="379" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you fear that you cannot do justice to orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, or three, or four; but if you fear that you will not do justice, then (marry) only one  or that which your right hand possesses. This is more proper that you may not do injustice. &lt;em&gt;(Maulana Muhammad Ali translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you fear that you cannot treat orphans with fairness, then you may marry other women who seem good to you: two, three or four of them. But if you fear that you cannot maintain equality among them, marry one only or any slave girl you may own. This will make it easier for you to avoid injustice. &lt;em&gt;(N. J. Dawood translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maulana Muhammad Ali, comments on the above:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;3a. - &lt;/em&gt;This passage permits polygamy under certain conditions, it does not enjoin it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does not obligate the practice of polygamy, but it permits it. So a man, according to his means, may marry up to four wives... does this sound &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;full and equal&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to you, gentle reader?!?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sura 4:34&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7662/sura434.gif" alt="" height="431" width="382" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men are the maintainers of women, with that Allah has made of them to excel others and with that they spend out their wealth. So the good women are obedient guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded. And (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the beds and chastise them. So if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Surely Allah is ever Exalted, Great.  &lt;em&gt;(Maulana Muhammad Ali translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience , admonish them and forsake them in their beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme. &lt;em&gt;(N. J. Dawood translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;With all due respect to Her Majesty, Queen Rania, that does not sound like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Islam views women as full and equal partners to men&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. What do you think, gentle reader?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word &lt;em&gt;nushūz&lt;/em&gt; is translated above as &lt;em&gt;desertion&lt;/em&gt; and as &lt;em&gt;disobedience&lt;/em&gt; it refers to a woman withholding her conjugal services. While no husband would be pleased with such refusal, most husbands would desist but should such behavior persist they would divorce her. Islam allows the man to beat her in order to get her to submit. Sounds like rape to me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some Islamic countries (like Saudi Arabia) women may not drive, may not travel without permission from their husbands (or fathers, if they are not married). On what authority?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sura 33:33&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/388/sura3333.gif" alt="" height="283" width="379" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And stay in your houses and display not (your beauty) like the displaying of the ignorance of yore, and keep up prayer, and pay the poor rate, and obey Allah and his messenger. Allah only desires to take away uncleanness from you, O people of the household, and to purify you a (thorough) purifying.  &lt;em&gt;(Maulana Muhammad Ali translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay in your homes and do not display your finery as women used to do in the days of ignorance. Attend to your prayers, give alms and obey God and His apostle. Women of the Household, God seeks only to remove uncleanliness from you and to purify you. &lt;em&gt;(N. J. Dawood translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the above admonitions were meant for Muhammad's wifes, the above verse came to be interpreted as referring to all women. Do you still think, gentle reader, that women in Islam are &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;full and equal partners to men&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does one explain the video below then?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object data="http://www.liveleak.com/e/290_1213504277" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="370" width="450"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;param name="src" value="http://www.liveleak.com/e/290_1213504277"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all fairness violence against women has all too often reared its ugly face throughout the West, and was/is being perpetrated by westerners. The difference is that unlike those in Islam the cowards who engage in violent  behavior against women can find neither find a shield behind their culture nor behind a religion. The difference lies in the fact that in European countries the incidence of violence against women has risen geometrically in proportion to the percentage of Muslim immigrants. In Australia Sheikh Al-Hillaly described western women as "uncovered meat" and, therefore, as the guilty ones when raped by Muslim. Such misogynistic attitudes have no place in the west, &lt;strong&gt;or anywhere else, in this the 21st century&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is nothing honorable about "honor killings" and no western culture, no western religion offers refuge or justification for such an act. To the west it not an honorable act, rather a case of despicable murder. Yet, honor killings are prevalent throughout Muslim lands and spreading fast into Islamic communities in the West. &lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1238562920327&amp;amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull"&gt;In Queen Rania's own kingdom, which averages 20 honor killings a year, they just had the 8th one this year&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Jordan's Criminal Court has charged a 19-year-old man with stabbing to death his sister in what is believed to be an honor killing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judge Jihad al-Dridi charged the man Monday with premeditated murder and the possession of a dangerous weapon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al-Dridi said the man confessed to repeatedly stabbing his 22-year-old sister to cleanse the family honor because she left the house too often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The victim is the eighth person to be killed in honor crimes this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 20 women are killed annually in Jordan by male relatives. The conservative society tolerates the killings and perpetrators often receive light sentences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name of the man and the victim were not revealed due to the sensitivity of the case.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2002 the United Nations Development Programme published a report which covered most of the Muslim world. It was conducted by Arab and Muslim academics of both genders. &lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/?p=172"&gt;The report points to the mistreatment of women as one of the reasons for the poverty and backwardness of Muslim lands&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no doubt that Jordan's King Abdullah and Queen Rania have a loving marriage, I have no doubt they show mutual respect. I need look no further than my next door neighbors, he's a college professor and former Palestinian terrorist (who was jailed by the Israelis, but became disillusioned by the Palestinian leadership and their greed, after he was freed), she's a Southern girl whose father was a proud member of the KKK. She never met a Jew, let alone a Muslim, until she went to college but she grew up hating anyone who was not white and Christian. Today she is a proud Muslima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The three of us have breakfast, together, almost everyday morning. They have the key to my place and I to theirs. She wears a hijab, not a niqqab, they have a loving marriage founded on mutual respect. I do not mean to accuse every Muslim of mistreating his wife, I merely point out the cultural/religious sources for the treatment of women by some Islamist elements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chaim&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;RELATED POSTS&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/?p=2031"&gt;The Islamist World View - Part I&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/?p=1375"&gt;Women and the Taliban&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/?p=1199"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/?p=1199"&gt;The Cost of Being a Muslim Woman in a Muslim World&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/?p=623"&gt;Men Are Human, Women Are Not!

A simple perusal of history will convince anyone, with an open mind, that some of the greatest crimes against mankind were committed "in the name of God." All too often, the added authority of a deity has become the stamp of approval needed to carry out whatever political agenda the leader(s), invoking the divine, wished to push through to further their own ambitions. Most other religions have evolved to the point where indiscriminate killing is absolutely unacceptable. No priest of any Christian denomination would think of openly preaching the killing of non Christians. While humans are just that, flawed and all too often prejudiced, these preachings would result in the immediate dismissal of any priest, pastor, minister who would present those ideas to his congregation. No Rabbi, regardless of denomination would think of preaching the killing of Muslims, Christians or anyone else. Killing anyone because of creed, color, or ethnicity is simple and unadulterated murder. Such preachings would end with the one pronouncing them to be run out of the community in ignominy, as they would represent a direct contradiction to the 6th Commandment: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do Not murder&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. And yet... so many imams, so many Muslim clerics seem to have an acute case of infidel-o-phobia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The overwhelming majority of those who practice Islam are law abiding citizens with the same struggles and the same aspirations as the rest of us. But... all the major terrorists and terror organizations throughout the world are professed Muslims! Why? What is the cultural core behind such a phenomenon? What is the divine source they cite as justification for their actions? Every single one of these individuals, every single one of these organizations claims they are merely following the Qur'an.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Qur'an is the record of the revelations Muhammad received from Allah, through the angel Jibreel (Gabriel). These revelations change in tone from the Prophet's early times in Mecca to the time he fled to Meddina. The revelations in Mecca were more conciliatory in nature, but after he started building a military force in Meddina they became more hostile towards anyone who would oppose him, anyone who refused to submit. This contradictions are explained away by saying that later revelations supersede the earlier ones...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you will see, in the video below, well known Mullah Amjun Chaudry has no problem justifying violence against infidels on British TV:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object data="http://www.youtube.com/v/maHSOB2RFm4&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/maHSOB2RFm4&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the passages that explain infidels are wrong follow below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sura II:75&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft" src="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/2076/sura275.gif" alt="" height="166" width="371" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you then hope that they would believe in you, and a party from among them indeed used to hear the word of Allah, then altered it after they had understood it, and they know (this). &lt;em&gt;(Maulana Muhammad Ali translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you then hope that they will believe in you, when some of them have already heard the Word of God and knowingly perverted it, although they understood its meaning. &lt;em&gt;(N. J. Dawood translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maulana Muhammad Ali, comments on this verse:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;75a. - &lt;/em&gt; That the Israelites did not preserve their sacred books in their purity is a constant charge laid by the Holy Qur'an against the Jews. In fact, the alteration and corruption of the various books of the Bible is now proved beyond all doubt; &lt;em&gt;see 79a&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;79a&lt;/em&gt;. - The alteration and corruption of the Bible, the Old as well as the New Testament, spoken of in verse 75 and repeated here, is now an established fact...&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is an established fact that those perfidious &lt;em&gt;Jooz&lt;/em&gt; and their Christian friends corrupted both Testaments?!?!? How do we know this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sura II:79&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft" src="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6818/sura279.gif" alt="" height="230" width="371" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woe! then to those who write the Book with their hands then say, This is from Allah; so that they may take it all for a small price. So woe! to them for what their hands write and woe! to them for what the yearn. &lt;em&gt;(Maulana Muhammad Ali translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Woe betide those that write the scriptures with their own hands and then declare: 'This is from God,' in order to gain some paltry end. Woeful shall be their fate, because of what their hands have written, because of what they did.&lt;em&gt;(N. J. Dawood translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah yes, foolish me. Definitely proven beyond the shadow of a doubt! Don't you agree, gentle reader? Now what passages were altered by the Jews and the Christians?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sura II:140&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft" src="http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/2586/sura2140.gif" alt="" height="275" width="371" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or do you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes were Jews or Christians? Say do you know better or Allah? And who is more unjust than he who conceals a testimony that he has from Allah? And Allah is not heedless of what you do.&lt;em&gt; (Maulana Muhammad Ali translation)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Do you claim that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes were all Jews or Christians? Say: 'Who knows better, you or God? Who is more wicked than the man who hides a testimony he has received from God? God is never heedless of what you do."&lt;em&gt;(N. J. Dawood translation)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his comment and explanation to the above verse, Maulana Ali proves how little he knows or underrstands Judaism:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;140a. -The interrogation here is simply to reprove the Jews and the Christians, the Jewish claim was that only acceptance of the Jewish law could save man, and the Christians claimed that none could be saved unless he accepted the atonement of Jesus. they are told that their ancestors who were prophets were the followers of neither the one nor the other. Islam was, in fact, a reversion to the simple faith of sincerity, the faith of Abraham and his immediate followers and descendants.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the Jews and Christians not only perverted the earlier teachings but are, as a result, simply wrong, Islam is their only hope... I see and I can understand the reason why Allah requires mere humans to redeem his honor. Boyyy! Were we &lt;em&gt;People of the Book&lt;/em&gt; wrong! Don't you feel enlightened and liberated, gentle reader, now that the truth has been revealed? Oh, what will it take for us - infidels - to understand that Islam really came before both Judaism and Christianity in spite of historical evidence of thousands of years to the contrary?!?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In spite of this being the second chapter of the Qur'an, it's revelations were from Meddina and they supersede anything that was said about the People of the Book in Mecca, even though Mecca's revelations may appear in later chapters. By quoting chapter and verse (and showing the original Arabic text) from the Qur'an, by showing one of the Mullahs justifying whatever Muslims may inflict on non Muslims... have I become guilty of disrespecting Islam? Did this very mild post, with direct quotes and my personal views on them, violate the &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iRHXSIoJJdXQpG3kPrRO2LWMnWTAD975SKN01"&gt;latest &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;travesty&lt;/span&gt; resolution passed by the United Nations Human Rights Council&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chaim&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crossposted at: &lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/"&gt;Freedom's Cost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://digg.com/world_news/The_Islamist_World_View_Part_I"&gt;Digg it!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://buzz.yahoo.com/article/1:c30f5d3b26fb05b261b20cc617bd7a66:f3e2fcde039e47d5f498660544146014?usc=1"&gt;Buzz up!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-1090992012338183679?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/1090992012338183679" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/1090992012338183679" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/04/islamist-world-view-part-i.html" title="The Islamist World View - Part I" /><author><name>Freedom's Cost</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16427756423033405013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="07400934516299383793" /></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-559281113491630679</id><published>2009-03-02T18:23:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-02T18:27:06.326-05:00</updated><title type="text">Getting Rid of Anal Leakage and Muslim Immigration</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/image/sub4/islamicbomb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 10px;" alt="islamic bomb - fertility" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/Saxq9OyVNcI/AAAAAAAAAkM/6885x9mk3hs/s400/islamicbombsm.jpg" border="0" align="left" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:100px;line-height:80px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;t starts off innocently enough, You are sniffling and sneezing so you decide to take W (I don't want to mention brand names of medicines that might label my post as spam), which contains Pseudo-ephedrine.  You get rid of the sniffles, but unfortunately one of the side effects is insomnia.  So for insomnia you take Y, a popular Sedative-hypnotic, which helps you sleep, but your face becomes swollen and you develop a skin rash.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for the skin rash you apply some Z, a Hydro-cortisone Lotion, to the affected area, but that puts you into a state of excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis), so you take an anticholinergics drug which raises your blood pressure too high which you ameliorate with X, an Orlistat, which has the interesting property of rendering you fecally incontinent.  The other name for fecal incontinence is anal leakage.  You stand around minding your own business when all of a sudden you feel an oily, uncontrollable stool-stream passing through your impotent anal sphincter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's how it happens, in small, barely perceptible stages if you are not careful:  you start with a simple cold and you end up with brown stains in your underwear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it is with the rapid growth of Muslims in Europe.  In 1900 there were 50 thousand Muslims in the whole of Western Europe &lt;a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" &gt;(1)&lt;/a&gt;.  In 2008, it was a thousand times as many: more than 50 million &lt;a href="#fn2" name="_fn2" &gt;(2)&lt;/a&gt;.  By 2050 Europe will be a Muslim continent &lt;a href="#fn3" name="_fn3" &gt;(3)&lt;/a&gt;, as will be most of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for anal leakage, it is interesting to note that one of the side effects of having your throat slit during a beheading is fecal incontinence.  That's right you poop in your pants.  When Europe becomes predominantly Islamic, we can expect many more instances of beheadings during honor killings, forced conversions, and in general insults to Muslim sensibilities.  I don't know what the proper drug is for stopping anal leakage.  I know the proper prescription for avoiding the Islamic takeover of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr style="height:1px;width:50%;border:1px solid #000;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Notes&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="article"&gt;&lt;a href="#_fn1" name="fn1"&gt;(1)&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;University of Cambridge UK, &lt;a href="http://www.divinity.cam.ac.uk/cip/documents/IslamandMuslimInEuropeToday.pdf"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Islam and Muslims In Europe Today (PDF)&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1.Although the Muslim presence in Europe is ancient, the presence of substantial minorities in West European cities is historically a very recent phenomenon, dating back largely to the 1960s.

He wasted no timein making his first phone to a foreign dignitary, it was to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas; his first major interview as the American President was on an Arab TV network; in spite of the &lt;a href="http://www.naharnet.com/domino/tn/NewsDesk.nsf/0/41359883A50ACED7C225756800282595?OpenDocument"&gt;UN preparing itself to try the murderers of Lebanon's Rafik Hariri&lt;/a&gt;, Obama dispatched Senator Kerry to woo Syria's Baby Assad and try to tear him away from under Iran's wings (fat chance!). In a few days, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be in Cairo where she will announce a $900,000,000 grant to help Gazans rebuild (under the aegis of Hamas, perhaps with the help of Mahmoud Abbas... if Hamas comes to some convenient temporary agreement with him!). At the same time, we in the US under Obama's direction are ready to import thousands of Gazans to our shores and give them a chance for a better life (even if that means turning to terror and/or preaching hatred of all things American.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, the British daily &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/4550144/CIA-warns-Barack-Obama-that-British-terrorists-are-the-biggest-threat-to-the-US.html"&gt;Telegraph&lt;/a&gt; reports:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;CIA warns Barack Obama that British terrorists are the biggest threat to the US&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American spy chiefs have told the President that the CIA has launched a vast spying operation in the UK to prevent a repeat of the 9/11 attacks being launched from Britain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They believe that a British-born Pakistani extremist entering the US under the visa waiver programme is the most likely source of another terrorist    spectacular on American soil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intelligence briefings for Mr Obama have detailed a dramatic escalation in American espionage in Britain, where the CIA has recruited record numbers of informants in the Pakistani community to monitor the 2,000 terrorist suspects identified by MI5, the British security service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A British intelligence source revealed that a staggering four out of 10 CIA operations designed to thwart direct attacks on the US are now conducted against targets in Britain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a former CIA officer who has advised Mr Obama told &lt;em&gt;The Sunday Telegraph&lt;/em&gt; that the CIA has stepped up its efforts in the last month after the Mumbai massacre laid bare the threat from Lashkar-e-Taiba, the militant group behind the attacks, which has an extensive web of supporters in the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CIA has already spent 18 months developing a network of agents in Britain to combat al-Qaeda, unprecedented in size within the borders of such a close ally, according to intelligence sources in both London and Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer who has advised Mr Obama, told &lt;em&gt;The Sunday Telegraph:&lt;/em&gt; "The British Pakistani community is recognised as probably al-Qaeda's best mechanism for launching an attack against North America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The American security establishment believes that danger continues and there's very intimate cooperation between our security services to monitor that." Mr Riedel, who served three presidents as a Middle East expert on the White House National Security Council, added: "President Obama's national security team are well aware that this is a serious threat."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The British official said: "The Americans run their own assets in the Pakistani community; they get their own intelligence. There's close cooperation with MI5 but they don't tell us the names of all their sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Around 40 per cent of CIA activity on homeland threats is now in the UK. This is quite unprecedented."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Explaining the increase in CIA activity over the past month, Mr Riedel added: "In the aftermath of the Mumbai attack the US and the UK intelligence services now have to regard Lashkar-e-Taiba as just as serious a threat to both of our countries as al-Qaeda. They have a much more extensive base among Pakistani Diaspora communities in the UK than al–Qaeda."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Information gleaned by CIA spies in Britain has already helped thwart several terrorist attacks in the UK and was instrumental in locating Rashid Rauf, a British-born al-Qaeda operative implicated in a plot to explode airliners over the Atlantic, who was tracked down and killed in a US missile strike in    November.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But some US intelligence officers are irritated that valuable manpower and resources have been diverted to the UK. One former intelligence officer who does contract work for the CIA dismissed Britain as a "swamp" of jihadis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jonathan Evans, the director general of MI5, admitted in January that the Security Service alone does not have the resources to maintain surveillance on all its targets. "We don't have anything approaching comprehensive coverage," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dramatic escalation in CIA activity in the UK followed the exposure in August 2006 of Operation Overt, the alleged airline bomb plot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The British intelligence official revealed that CIA chiefs sent more resources to the UK because they were not prepared to see American citizens die as a result of MI5's inability to keep tabs on all suspects, even though the Security Service successfully uncovered the plot.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, what does Britain do about this cancer within? How does it deal with the threat? Last Friday's Friday's &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1150747/Imagine-7-7-terrorist-pupils-11-told-government-promoted-exercise.html"&gt;Daily Mail&lt;/a&gt; reported:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Pupils as young as 11 are being encouraged to imagine the July 7 bombings from the perspective of the terrorists as part of citizenship lessons promoted by the Government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondary schools are urged to set the exercise by a lesson pack showcased on an official website for teachers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However after being alerted to the material last night, ministers admitted it was ‘misguided and inappropriate’ and said it would be withdrawn immediately from the Government’s Teachernet website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schools in areas including Calderdale in West Yorkshire, Birmingham, Sandwell and Lancashire are said to be using the material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several police forces are also said to have adopted it as part of programmes to promote community cohesion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A section in the lesson pack deals directly with the July 7 bombings of 2005 in which 52 London commuters were killed and 700 people injured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A suggested group exercise requires pupils to ‘prepare a brief presentation on the 7/7 bombings from the perspective of the bombers’. They are also asked to summarise the ‘reasons ... for the actions of the London bombers’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The suggestion that children should be asked to empathise with the bombers caused concern among heads last night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris McGovern, a headmaster and director of History Curriculum Association, said: ‘In my view, this is extremely dangerous. Asking pupils to empathise with terrorists may lead to sympathy, and sympathy begins to lead to justification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘You begin to glamorise it – it’s disastrous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘This shows how out of touch the education establishment is with the rest of society.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The teaching pack, for pupils aged 11 to 19, was developed by the council in Calderdale. Three of the 7/7 bombers came from the West Yorkshire area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is used in West Yorkshire madrassas and mosques, the Times Educational Supplement reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It had also been adopted by the Department for Children, Schools and Families as part of an online ‘toolkit’ to help teachers tackle extremism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night a spokesman for the DCSF said ministers had decided to withdraw the material from the Teachernet site ‘as they believe it to be misguided and inappropriate’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said: ‘It’s important young people discuss these difficult and controversial issues in a controlled environment but, in this case, ministers apologise for any offence caused.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don Rowe, of the Citizenship Foundation, said he doubted if many teachers would wish to broach the ‘complicated’ issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘I certainly wouldn’t expect anyone who wasn’t confident in this area to barge in with this sort of material,’ he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Explaining the materials, Sail Suleman, Calderdale’s hate crime co-ordinator and author of the pack, said: ‘Why do young people go out and do what the bombers did? Was it pressure from individuals they were hanging out with?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘Hopefully, we’ll encourage pupils to stay away from those individuals.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘Hopefully, we’ll encourage pupils to stay away from those individuals.’ &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Riiiight! Mr Suleman sounds very convincing, don't you think so, gentle reader?!?!? Perhaps his attitude will explain &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1150753/Some-Muslim-schools-make-children-despise-West-Ban-cricket-Harry-Potter.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Some Islamic schools are promoting fundamentalist views and encouraging children to despise Western society, a report warns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An investigation by the Civitas social policy think-tank found websites of some of the UK’s 166 Muslim schools are spreading extreme teachings, while a handful had links to sites promoting jihad, or holy war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Examples include web forums forbidding Muslims from reading Harry Potter books, playing chess or cricket and listening to Western music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Civitas report, entitled Music, Chess and Other Sins, claims Ofsted inspectors are incapable of scrutinising Muslim faith schools properly, and demands an inquiry by MPs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of the websites featured in the report were shut down or edited in the hours before it was published.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Islamic schools educate thousands of Muslim children. Most operate in the private sector although increasing numbers are seeking state funding.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some Islamic schools are promoting fundamentalist views and encouraging children to despise Western society... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Most operate in the private sector although increasing numbers are seeking state funding.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; I am not in any way, shape, or form, opposed to private religious schooling. I raised five kids who attended private Jewish religious schools and grew up to be successful professionals with families of their own. While I would not have minded some property tax relief , it never occurred to me or any parents I knew, or to any member of the schools' administrations to seek government funding. It would have been unfair, to say the least, and against separation of Church and state. None of the schools ever taught my kids and now their kids &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;to despise Western society&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; either. They are well integrated, and while proudly Jewish, they are are first and foremost Americans! By the way, you can believe when I tell that more than once my wife and I had to forego or at least compromise on some vacation and many other plans or paying for the schools would have been very hard, if not impossible. So why did we do it? We felt it was important for our children! Do these Muslim parents not feel it is important enough to sacrifice for their children? Or are their children to be raised as sacrifices to Allah, at taxpayers expense?!?!?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a clear signal of their true spirit of dhimmitude, the &lt;a href="http://dailyguideghana.com/newd/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=view&amp;amp;id=2200&amp;amp;Itemid=250"&gt;European Court of Human Rights has awarded £2,500&lt;/a&gt; to al-Qaeda’s European envoy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HATE preacher Abu Qatada was today awarded £2,500 compensation after judges ruled his detention without &lt;a id="Y7729457S2" style="color: rgb(107, 107, 107); text-decoration: underline;" onclick="Yesup.rg_ad(0)" onmouseover="Yesup.ad_show('2','15',event,0);" onmouseout="setTimeout('Yesup.clod(1)',5000);" href="http://ads.clicksor.com/search.php?q=trial" target="_blank"&gt;trial&lt;/a&gt; in the UK breached his human rights.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday Qatada— dubbed al-Qaeda’s European envoy — lost the latest round of his UK legal battle  to stay in Britain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But 24 hours later he won a separate case in the European Court of Human Rights that his detention violated the Human Rights Convention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attacks&lt;br /&gt;He was held under anti-terror laws  introduced by the Government after the 2001 attacks on America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling said today of the ruling: “This decision will horrify most reasonable people in the UK. TheSun&lt;br /&gt;“It shows just how incompetent the Government has been at managing the problem of preachers of hate and, frankly, it makes a mockery of the concept of human rights if we can’t protect ourselves against people who are out to destroy our society.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you remember, gentle reader, when a couple of weeks ago the UK's &lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/?p=1848"&gt;Jacqui Smith refused to allow Geert Wilders into Britain to speak before the House of Lords&lt;/a&gt;? It seems that in the interest of multiculturism she's been contemplating &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1154827/Will-Labour-allow-THIS-Muslim-hardliner-links-Hezbollah-Britain.html"&gt;allowing a known anti western Muslim extremist into the UK&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Jacqui Smith was tonight warned against exercising 'double standards' as an Islamic extremist prepared to travel to the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ibrahim Moussawi, a known hardliner with links to Hezbollah, has been invited to speak at a London university.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the Home Secretary is under pressure to refuse an entry visa to Moussawi, who has allegedly described Jews as 'a lesion on the forehead of history'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this month, she banned the far-Right Dutch MP Geert Wilders from coming to Britain to show his film about Islam as it would threaten 'community harmony'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the Conservatives warned that to ban those who threaten community harmony, while letting in those who glorify terrorism or are part of terrorist groups, would send out the 'wrong message'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There must be 'no double standards on extremists', warned Tory security spokesman Baroness Neville-Jones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moussawi, who has already made at least two trips to the UK, has been invited to speak on political Islam at the School of Oriental and African Studies next month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Editor for the newspaper of Lebanon-based terrorist organisation Hezbollah, he is a former political editor of the Iranian-backed group's TV station, which is banned in many countries including France, Spain and the U.S, as its output is seen as anti-Semitic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite his background he has twice been allowed to speak publicly in Britain by the Home Office, once in December 2007 and again in February 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, in a letter to Miss Smith, Baroness Neville-Jones said: 'You will be aware that Mr Moussawi has links to Hezbollah, which is a proscribed terrorist organisation in many countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Mr Moussawi has also, over the years, made a number of remarks that are extremist, anti-Semitic and inflammatory. In October last year you introduced what you described as "tough new measures" to deny entry to extremists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'These measures included "creating a presumption in favour of exclusion in respect of all those who have engaged in fostering, encouraging or spreading extremism and hatred". Mr Moussawi has so engaged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'In line with your "tough new measures", I trust that if Mr Moussawi applies for entry, you will use your powers to exclude him.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Home Office sources said Moussawi's visa application had not yet been received, but would be studied closely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokesman said: 'The Government opposes extremism in all its forms. We are determined to prevent individuals coming to the UK who want to spread extremism or hatred in our communities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Exclusion decisions are based on hard evidence not hearsay, and are targeted at those who seek to stir up tension and provoke others to violence regardless of their origins and beliefs.'&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem of children's indoctrination, however, is not merely a &lt;a href="http://theopinionator.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/11/islamic-brainwashing-of-british-children.html"&gt;British&lt;/a&gt; problem, such practices to some degree or another are slowly being introduced throughout &lt;a href="http://www.expatica.com/de/news/local_news/Islamic-teaching-in-Bosnia-kindergartens-causes-uproar-_49931.html"&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt; and in the &lt;a href="http://www.actforamerica92691.org/resources/ISLAM_In_America$27s_Classrooms_ver_1.54b.pdf"&gt;US&lt;/a&gt;, (aside from that .pdf document in the last link, you can also see a different report &lt;a href="http://www.textbookleague.org/tci-az.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) in the interest of &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;multiculturalism&lt;/span&gt; Islamic indoctrination. Over at &lt;a href="http://islamineurope.blogspot.com/2009/02/uk-muslims-first-british-second.html"&gt;Islam in Europe&lt;/a&gt;, you can watch a BBC show on Islamic extremists in Britain, other videos give a far, far, worse picture of the stark new reality...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lest you think that whatever may be happening over in the UK and elsewhere in Europe is merely a European problem perhaps much smaller over here on our shores, let me disabuse you of such mistaken notions.

For multiculturalism to succeed, all sides must be interested and open to each other, the moment one side uses multiculturalism to weaken the other, multiculturalism is not only bound to fail, but will result in the destruction of the Western way of life. From &lt;a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2009/02/cry-islamophobia-and-let-loose-dogs-of.html"&gt;Sultan Knish&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cry Islamophobia and Let Loose the Dogs of War&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Muslim oversensitivity to any perceived insult is in directly inverse proportion to how much hate Muslims themselves are willing to display for others.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you go by Muslim standards, removing a man wearing a t-shirt with Arabic words off a plane is an unacceptable display of Islamophobia, but banning an Israeli tennis player from Dubai is completely legitimate.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Drawing cartoons of Mohammed as a terrorist is not acceptable, but calling for the deaths of the cartoonists is. Writing a book parodying Islam is unacceptable, but murdering the book’s translators around the world is reasonable.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Israeli checkpoints on the Gaza border are unacceptable examples of apartheid, but Saudi Arabia barring all non-Muslims from entering the city of Mecca or from holding Saudi citizenship– is their right.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Obviously “apartheid’ is an epithet to be thrown only at the &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;Jewish&lt;/span&gt; Zionist Entity, if for no other reason than to subliminally make you think of the word NAZI. great way to &lt;em&gt;dem Jooz&lt;/em&gt;‘ goat, ain’t it?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;A protest against Hamas and Al Queda that desecrates their flags, which have verses from the Koran on them, is unacceptable offensive to Muslims– but Muslim student associations waving those same flags is something that no one may question.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A Muslim “refugee” who is arrested for illegally entering a European country is being imprisoned solely out of “Islamophobia”, as are the terrorists held in Guantanamo Bay– but Westerners who enter a Muslim country lose all rights and may be imprisoned, tortured and flogged on the flimsiest of allegations from a Muslim.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Western countries expecting that a Muslim woman remove her Hijab for an ID photo is Islamophobia. However Muslim countries have the right to demand that even the House Speaker and First Lady cover up their hair when visiting a Muslim country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Isn’t that a fair price to pay for the success of multiculturalism in the West?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;When a Muslim man has woman’s underwear put on his head, while detaining for trying to kill American soldiers, that is the vilest crime against humanity. However when Muslim men hang and flog women for adultery… that is their culture and we have no right to judge. Not unless we’re Islamophobes, that is.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Muslim paranoid fears of Western culture can legitimately express themselves in banning magazines, Valentine’s day celebrations and movies. However any Western resistance to the Koran or Arabic is a clear sign of Islamophobia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A Koran in a toilet is a hate crime. However burning the contents of the Library of Alexandria because “if it’s not in the Koran, it’s superfluous”, is a legitimate expression of Muslim views on non-Muslim literature.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Prejudice against Muslims is unacceptable. But Muslim prejudices against women, Jews, Christians, gays, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Atheists, and just about everyone else– are part of their culture. And who are we to judge if they feel they have a right to hate and kill anyone who isn’t a Muslim male.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;They cry “Islamophobia” and they even get a compliant, submissive, UN to declare it a crime. All the while their own Infidel-o-phobia and their own despicable misoginy is far worse than any real or perceived islamophobia… but neither the United Nations, nor any human rights organizations, nor even any feminist groups have been heard making any sound to protest the all too obvious prejudices lurking in the hearts of IslamoFascists!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The problem with all of these examples is that Muslims want to have it both ways. On the one hand they want a blank check that allows them to treat any negative feedback as Islamophobia. On the other hand they want to be able to express any degree and form of hatred for others and support for terrorism in public forums without any repercussions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What Muslims really want is Political Correctness for us, and none for them. They want a chain around our necks with the leash in their hand, while the other hand waves a Hizbollah flag. And that can’t work.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If Danish cartoonist can’t draw Mohammed, then Muslim protesters should at the very least be unable to call for the murder of their political opponents. If Christian pastors are to be censored for denouncing Islam, then the Finsbury Park Mosque rabble should be too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;What the multiculturals fail to perceive is that there is no give and take. Islam (in its current form) has no interest in sharing the planet with the infidels. To that end, it will use the infidels’ own laws and institutions to destroy it and turn the world into an Islamic empire. The Muslim Brotherhood makes no secret of such a plan, so many of its offshoots around the world make no secret of such a plan and yet the multicultural crowd foolishly believes that by bending over backwards they are bound to inspire love. They will, but it certainly won’t the kind of love, they crave for…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Canadian Arab Federation decided to host pro-Hamas articles on its site, to push for airing Al Jazeera in Canada, to participate in openly terrorist rallies and then respond to criticism by insulting the Immigration Minister. But naturally the consequences of all that only came due because of Islamophobia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Muslims have gotten too comfortable sweeping a lot under the rug by crying Islamophobia. But that implies that they actually wish to be part of a tolerant multicultural society, where everyone’s rights are respected. By their actions and agendas however, that is not the society they wish to be a part of. Neither in Ridyah, Tehran, Gaza, Karachi or London, Paris and Detroit.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is up to Muslims themselves to decide what role they wish to play abroad and in the global culture. They can be intolerant fanatics who stay at home and expect everyone else to stay at home too. Or they can be open and tolerant enough to live side by side with others. But they can’t be intolerant fanatics who expect us to be tolerant and open toward their fanatical intolerance. Not on our dime.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That is the problem, and it is a Gordian Knot that Muslims can either try to untie themselves, or someone will wind up cutting through it for them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/?p=294"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.iris.org.il/blog/uploads/NYHETER-17s09-09valdtakt-512.jpg" alt="" width="101" border="0" height="96" hspace="5" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swedish victim,&lt;br /&gt;Muslim gang rape&lt;br /&gt;(photo from: &lt;a href="http://www.iris.org.il/blog/archives/757-Pan-European-Arab-Muslim-Gang-Rape-Epidemic.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IRIS BLOG&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Multiculturalism has wittingly or unwittingly turned out to be the most sexist, most prejudiced form of fascism… Whoa hold it there, you say gently reader. I know you are thinking that was one idiotic, ignorant prejudiced statement, right?!?!? Was it? How many honor killings have those professing Islam committed throughout the West, just in in the last five years? How much intolerance and total disreespect towards the West have they shown, both in the West and in their own lands? In Sweden the number of rapes has grown in geometrical proportions ever since the number of Muslim immigrants has increased, and not coincidentally the overwhelming percentage of rapists profess Islam as their religion!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For those who naively believe that Islamists living in the West will come to embrace our culture as much as you embrace theirs, for those of you who naively believe that everything above is merely fear mongering, for those of you who believe that while there may be a few bad apples masquerading as Muslims, just like there are despicable mysogynists right here in the West, Muslims regard women as equal let me cross-post something from my friend Punx, over at &lt;a href="http://theliberalheretic.com/blog/?p=84"&gt;The Liberal Heretic&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Play: Choose the Correct Curse, I Mean Verse, In the Quran&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Play Choose the Verse (and sura): First, you must imagine you’re a faithful Muslim, and as the man in the family, you’re responsible for the moral behavior of the women you’re related to. In keeping with this age old tradition, you must choose the correct sura in the Quran to appropriately punish your charges should they shame your proud name and honor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;1.) Have a spare wife you want to get rid of, and you hate her enough to want to punish her for the rest of her life? Don’t bother with divorce, accuse her of lewdness. Imprison her in solitary confinement, never to hear another human voice or ever have contact with another person until she goes insane and dies! All you need are 4 good buddies to concur that she is indeed guilty of lewdness…or you just have to swear it’s true. Choose the sura:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;a.) Sura XXIV, 60&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;b.) Sura IV, 11&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;c.) Sura IV, 15&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you chose a or b, you shall never enter Paradise, you vile infidel! Every good Muslim knows the answer is c.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;*Sura IV, 15: If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four witnesses among you, Against them; and if they testify, CONFINE THEM TO HOUSES UNTIL DEATH DO CLAIM THEM.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2.) Follow up to number 1. You have accused your wife of lewdness, but you have no witnesses willing to support your accusations. Not a problem, choose the sura that will get you out of this sticky situation&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;a.) Sura XXIV, 6&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;b.) Sura III, 3&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;c.) Sura II, 220&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you chose b or c, you’re the son of a mangy camel! Every good Muslim man knows the Quran guarantees that if no “witnesses” can be found, just the word of the man is good enough in its book.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;*Sura XXIV, 6: And for those who launch accusations against their spouses and have no evidence but their own, Their solitary evidence can be received if they bear witness four times With an oath by Allah, That they are solemnly telling the Truth.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;3.) After disposing of that pesky wife (above), you still have 3 more. One is young and beautiful, so you don’t really want to get rid of her, but she CAN be a pain. Didn’t she just yesterday suggest that you take Mohammed Blvd. instead of Allah Way as a shortcut to the bazaar? How dare she? Choose the correct verse to support your discipline regimen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;a.) Sura II, 241&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;b.) Sura III,3&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;c.) Sura  IV, 34&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I know all you faithful Muslim men got this one right. Obviously it’s c.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;*Sura IV, 34: As to those women on whose part ye do fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, Admonish them, Refuse to share their beds, and beat them; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means of annoyance…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Thank you for playing Choose the Curse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Will my female readers acquiesce and submit to any Muslim masters? No, ladies, my question did not refer to the submissives ones among you; my question was meant for every Western woman who prides herself of being a woman and not just a male plaything.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Will my male readers quietly, passively, sit back and just let IslamoFascism take over and trample on our values, and our lifestyle? On August 17, 1945, George Orwell published &lt;em&gt;Animal Farm&lt;/em&gt;. It remains a classic that exposes totalitarianism and how it unobtrusively takes over a society. In Orwell’s allegory the pigs refer to the Soviet Union. In this the early 21st Century the pigs came to represent precisely those who most hate the symbol! The pigs are the IslamoFascists who rail against the West, while enjoying the welfare of Western societies, while living at taxpayers’ expense and using Western freedoms and rights to destroy westerners’ freedoms and rights.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Towards the end of Orwell’s &lt;em&gt;Animal Farm &lt;/em&gt;the animal are shocked to see that certain rules have changed, a new one says: &lt;em&gt;All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others&lt;/em&gt;. Every ethnic group, every religious group that ever came to the West, while keeping its major customs and traditional values, managed to successfully integrate into the host society. That is… all except one which refuses to integrate, all except one who aims to take take over and convert or destroy every infidel as they slowly and efficiently subvert western rule of law… &lt;strong&gt;The time has come when we must make these pigs understand unequivocally, that in spite of their illusions of grandeur, they are NOT more equal but… they are merely behaving like PIGS!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Chaim&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://digg.com/world_news/Multiculturalism_Anticulturalism"&gt;Digg it!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cross-posted at: &lt;a href="http://www.freedomscost.net/?p=1879"&gt;Freedom's Cost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-4937989922546634790?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/4937989922546634790" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/4937989922546634790" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/02/multiculturalism-anticulturalism.html" title="Multiculturalism, Anticulturalism" /><author><name>Freedom's Cost</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16427756423033405013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="07400934516299383793" /></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-7090184945562319017</id><published>2009-02-14T15:24:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-14T15:47:13.733-05:00</updated><title type="text">The Speech Never Given in the UK by Geert Wilders</title><content type="html">&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/image/sub4/begging11.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SZcpEV-CfFI/AAAAAAAAAkE/okM6uZP7qiU/s400/begging11sm.jpg"alt="begging for life from Muslims"style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Photo Credit: &lt;a href="http://www.aglobalcitizen.com/parsing-the-political-brief/"&gt;AGlobalCitizen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:100px;line-height:80px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;"&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;urope is currently suffering through a plague - the disease?  Bendurnea (prounounced bend-your-knee-a).  Bendurnea is a medical condition that slowly eats away at one's spine in the face of Muslim threats which in turn causes the body to lean precipitously forward until the knees can no longer support the weight of the collective guilt of being intolerant toward a religion causing them to buckle under the pressure.  The end-stage of Bendurnea disease is the complete failure of the knees to hold the body up and one is forced to spend the rest of one's life in a position of supplication and humiliating submission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The manifestation of this dread illness was displayed symptomatically a few days ago in the UK when Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, who was invited to deliver a speech and show his film &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/islam/fitna/"&gt;Fitna&lt;/a&gt; at the House of Lords on 12 Feb 2009 was instead detained by UK immigration officials at London Heathrow airport and sent back to the Netherlands because he was deemed a risk to "public security."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be noted that begging is illegal in Britain since the passing of the Vagrancy Act of 1824 and so this has presented some difficulty to British bobbies who are unable to distinguish current sufferers of Bendurnea from ordinary panhandlers, especially those who lie on the ground groveling for pence. &lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below please find the text of the address that was never delivered (from &lt;a href="http://www.hetvrijevolk.com/?pagina=7900"&gt;Het Vrije Volk&lt;/a&gt;): &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Geert Wilders’ speech in House of Lords (if he had not been banned from the United Kingdom)&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;London, Feb. 12, 2009&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for inviting me. Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for showing Fitna, and for your gracious invitation. While others look away, you, seem to understand the true tradition of your country, and a flag that still stands for freedom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is no ordinary place. This is not just one of England’s tourist attractions. This is a sacred place. This is the mother of all Parliaments, and I am deeply humbled to speak before you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Houses of Parliament is where Winston Churchill stood firm, and warned – all throughout the 1930’s – for the dangers looming. Most of the time he stood alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1982 President Reagan came to the House of Commons, where he did a speech very few people liked. Reagan called upon the West to reject communism and defend freedom. He introduced a phrase: ‘evil empire’. Reagan’s speech stands out as a clarion call to preserve our liberties. I quote: If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Reagan meant is that you cannot run away from history, you cannot escape the dangers of ideologies that are out to destroy you. Denial is no option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Communism was indeed left on the ash heap of history, just as Reagan predicted in his speech in the House of Commons. He lived to see the Berlin Wall coming down, just as Churchill witnessed the implosion of national-socialism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I come before you to warn of another great threat. It is called Islam. It poses as a religion, but its goals are very worldly: world domination, holy war, sharia law, the end of the separation of church and state, the end of democracy. It is not a religion, it is a political ideology. It demands your respect, but has no respect for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There might be moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam. Islam will never change, because it is build on two rocks that are forever, two fundamental beliefs that will never change, and will never go away. First, there is Quran, Allah’s personal word, uncreated, forever, with orders that need to be fulfilled regardless of place or time. And second, there is al-insal al-kamil, the perfect man, Muhammad the role model, whose deeds are to be imitated by all Muslims. And since Muhammad was a warlord and a conqueror we know what to expect.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Islam means submission, so there cannot be any mistake about it’s goal. That’s a given. The question is whether the British people, with its glorious past, is longing for that submission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We see Islam taking off in the West at an incredible speed. The United Kingdom has seen a rapid growth of the number of Muslims. Over the last ten years, the Muslim population has grown ten times as fast as the rest of society. This has put an enormous pressure on society. Thanks to British politicians who have forgotten about Winston Churchill, the English now have taken the path of least resistance. They give up. They give in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you very much for letting me into the country. I received a letter from the Secretary of State for the Home Department, kindly disinviting me. I would threaten community relations, and therefore public security in the UK, the letter stated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a moment I feared that I would be refused entrance. But I was confident the British government would never sacrifice free speech because of fear of Islam. Britannia rules the waves, and Islam will never rule Britain, so I was confident the Border Agency would let me through. And after all, you have invited stranger creatures than me. Two years ago the House of Commons welcomed Mahmoud Suliman Ahmed Abu Rideh, linked to Al Qaeda. He was invited to Westminster by Lord Ahmed, who met him at Regent’s Park mosque three weeks before. Mr. Rideh, suspected of being a money man for terror groups, was given a SECURITY sticker for his Parliamentary visit.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ladies and gentlemen, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will never apologize for being free. We will never give in. We will never surrender. Freedom must prevail, and freedom will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you very much.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geert Wilders MP&lt;br /&gt;Chairman, Party for Freedom (PVV)&lt;br /&gt;The  Netherlands&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a related display of this disease:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Please don't attack us please, UK ads to say on Pakistani TV&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;India Express News, 10 Feb 2009, &lt;a href="http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Dont-attack-us-please-UK-ads-to-say-on-Pak-TV/421654/"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Don't attack us please, UK ads to say on Pak TV&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;London:&lt;br /&gt;The British government will air ads on Pakistani television urging terrorists to not attack Britain.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;The campaign, the paper said, will be targeted at ‘15-25-year-old males who are less than well-educated and worldly wise, but potentially susceptible to extremist doctrines’. Nine 30-second commercials, supported by ads on radio, will be aired on PTV, Geo TV and Khyber among other channels. If the Pakistani campaign is successful, it will be extended in Egypt, Yemen and Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The central theme of the campaign, ‘The Guardian’ said, "is to assert that there is no contradiction in being a Muslim and being British." It has four key aims, the daily reported: ‘to ensure Pakistanis realise the west is not anti-Islamic, that British society is not anti-Islam, to demonstrate the extent to which Muslims are integrated into British society and to stimulate and facilitate constructive debate on the compatibility of liberal and Muslim values’.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If only the UK had run ads in Nazi newspapers in the 1930s begging not to be attacked there would not have been any bombings against her during WWII.  Oh mighty, brave, fearless Britain, how far have you fallen, how weak, how cowardly, how fearful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, how silly.  As pointed out by &lt;a href="http://my.telegraph.co.uk/lickyalips/blog/2009/02/12/dont_attack_us_please_uk_ads_to_beg_on_islamic_nations_tv"&gt;Lickyalips Blog&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The idea that this campaign will have any effect at all, shows precisely how out of touch the government is with realities in the Third World, and the Islamic nations in particular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost all of the Islamist extremists who have either carried out terrorist atrocities in Britain, or who have been arrested for planning such acts, have been born in this country and not in the Third World.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cross-Posted at &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2009/02/geert_wilders_speech_in_house_of_lords_in_brave_br.html"&gt;Planck's Constant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-7090184945562319017?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/7090184945562319017" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/7090184945562319017" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/02/speech-never-given-in-uk-by-geert.html" title="The Speech Never Given in the UK by Geert Wilders" /><author><name>bernie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06651895179601333716</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08521833980028891362" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SZcpEV-CfFI/AAAAAAAAAkE/okM6uZP7qiU/s72-c/begging11sm.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-5600206751679298757</id><published>2009-01-28T00:01:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-28T00:07:17.297-05:00</updated><title type="text">Hamas Military Handbook</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/image/sub4/hamasmanual.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 10px;" alt="hamas military manual" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SX_nCsY8axI/AAAAAAAAAj0/fJCnA6u6J-4/s400/hamasmanualsm.jpg" border="0" align="right" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:100px;line-height:80px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;oney bees do not write.  They do not hand down written laws or rules of honey bee behavior to their descendants, but by their actions, habits and pheromone secretions scientists have been able to piece together the social handbook of bees as individuals and as a colony.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their complex of social interactions, social standings, communication, sexual conduct - their entire ethology has been charted without one written word to guide us in constructing a Manual of Social Behavior for Honey Bees. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a like manner, although Hamas is a species of insect life that at first glance exhibits very limited intelligence, by their actions, habits and the particular odor they secrete &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/01/hamas-military-handbook.html#fn1" name="_fn1" &gt;(1)&lt;/a&gt;, scientists have been able to piece together the social handbook of Hamas.  Since Hamas is a particularly savage species, we will use the more appropriate title: The Hamas Military Handbook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A warning though, just as bees mimic certain behaviors of human beings, this in no way means they have similar intelligence nor should we ascribe human characteristics to them.  Similarly, some of the actions of Hamas may tempt you to anthropomorphize their behavior as being human - you should resist as this would be sheer folly.  For example, some humans have called for a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel as if Hamas understood human concepts.  We might as well call for a truce when we are confronted by a pack of wild dogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But here follows their manual, you decide if they resemble any species of life higher than jackals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The Hamas Military Handbook&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not build bomb shelters.  While our enemy builds bomb shelters underneath their buildings and instructs their citizens to go down to the cellars in case of attack, we will build bomb vaults underneath our buildings and instruct our citizens to go up to the roofs in case of attack &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/01/hamas-military-handbook.html#fn2" name="_fn2" &gt;(2)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Geneva Convention does not protect hospitals, religious places, schools  which are used to commit acts harmful to our enemy &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/01/hamas-military-handbook.html#fn3" name="_fn3" &gt;(3)&lt;/a&gt;, but since most Americans, especially the left, are idiots and do not understand the rules of engagement in civilized societies, we will therefore purposely use hospitals, mosques, and schools as places to store weapons, hide our soldiers, and launch attacks from, and then when Israel retaliates cry that she is committing war crimes when in fact this is patently false.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;We recognize that our enemy respects human life, therefore use as much as possible any human shield one can find.  If the shields refuse to be used in such a manner, turn your weapons against them and force them unto roofs or back into buildings that house our weapons stores - then cry that Israel is targeting civilians, although if this were true we certainly would not be hiding behind them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Instead of smuggling in food, medicine, and essential items to the civilian population, smuggle in weapons, and cry that the Israelis have blockaded essential supplies from coming into Gaza.  No one on the left (being idiots that they are) will ask the question, "If Hamas can smuggle in an almost infinite number of missiles and weapons why can't they also bring in food and medicine?"&lt;/li&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;If trapped in a school, nursery, or mosque call for a Red Cross ambulance &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/01/hamas-military-handbook.html#fn4" name="_fn4" &gt;(4)&lt;/a&gt;.  If the driver refuses to take you hold a pistol to his head.  If you are then targeted we will be able to whine, "Israel engaged in war crimes! They're firing at ambulances filled with women and children patients inside!" If needed, take a few burned corpses of children from storage that we keep for this purpose and scatter around the ambulance bombsite.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/image/sub4/hamaschildren.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SX_nPlhWuEI/AAAAAAAAAj8/PMrobsLLa2M/s400/hamaschildrensm.jpg" alt="hamas children in uniform" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Hamas Soldier Decoy&lt;br /&gt;Photo Credit: &lt;a href="http://www.standwithus.com/gallery/cartoonprotest/index.asp"&gt;StandWithUs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Do not wear military uniforms, headbands, or insignia.  The only exception to this rule should be children who, if, Allah willing, are mistakenly blown up by Israelis (or by friendly fire), should have their uniforms removed during transport to the hospital.  Much crying will be required on exiting the ambulance.  Even if it is not your child cry, "Oh my poor baby, my only son (or "my only daughter" if the penis has been blown off).&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not allow any organization local, national or international dispense monetary help directly to civilians for rebuilding of their homes as they will not rebuild correctly.  All moneys must be dispensed through and by Hamas; this will insure that homes and apartment buildings are built with tunnels and weapons storage underneath &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/01/hamas-military-handbook.html#fn5" name="_fn5" &gt;(5)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;When things get bad, and they will, ask for a truce.  During this period rebuild tunnels, restock weapons caches, and make sure Israel knows this so that the blockade will continue.  Do not use this time to help the population with food or medicine.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure all humanitarian aid supplied by Israel is sold to the highest bidder to insure we will have money to dispense to civilians during any truce so that we look like the good guys and to guarantee infrastructure is rebuilt with military purposes &lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/01/hamas-military-handbook.html#fn6" name="_fn6" &gt;(6)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;If Merciful Allah allows us to drive the Israelis to the sea and they beg for a cease-fire we are to give them the never-ending truce of death.&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not waste time asking our petro-rich cousins the Saudis for any investments or economic help since they have no interest in helping other Arabs.

"Mostly the war was not as fast or as chaotic as I expected," Mr Shriteh told the Herald. "We would co-ordinate with the Israelis before we pick up patients, because they have all our names, and our IDs, so they would not shoot at us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Shriteh said the more immediate threat was from Hamas, who would lure the ambulances into the heart of a battle to transport fighters to safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"After the first week, at night time, there was a call for a house in Jabaliya. I got to the house and there was lots of shooting and explosions all around," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the urgency of the call, Mr Shriteh said there was no time to arrange his movements with the IDF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I knew the Israelis were watching me because I could see the red laser beam in the ambulance and on me, on my body," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting out of the ambulance and entering the house, he saw there were three Hamas fighters taking cover inside. One half of the building had already been destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They were very scared, and very nervous … They dropped their weapons and ordered me to get them out, to put them in the ambulance and take them away. I refused, because if the IDF sees me doing this I am finished, I cannot pick up any more wounded people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And then one of the fighters picked up a gun and held it to my head, to force me. I still refused, and then they allowed me to leave."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Shriteh says Hamas made several attempts to hijack the al-Quds Hospital's fleet of ambulances during the war.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be noted that the operative word in the title is "tried" - which means that this driver lived to tell his story.  Drivers who were actually forced to carry soldiers obviously have met their fate and so are not here to tell of successful hijackings of ambulances.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="article"&gt;&lt;a href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2009/01/hamas-military-handbook.html#_fn5" name="fn5"&gt;(5)&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Al Jazeera, &lt;a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/01/200912574445581696.html"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Hamas to pay victims of Gaza war&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The territory's government was due to start giving out the money, expected to total about $45m, on Sunday - a day after a Hamas committee was established to oversee relief efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmed al-Kurd, the Hamas-appointed minister of social affairs, also heads the National High Committee for Relief which will distribute the money to those who lost family members or their homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It will be the only body to oversee and supervise the rescue.

Or would you instead, have a debate inside your head that goes like this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Well, they only killed one so far, perhaps I should wait to see if in fact they don't kill me...&lt;/l&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Damn, there's five of them, if I kill them all, someone may say it was a disproportionate response since only one of my team got killed and I killed 5.  It doesn't seem fair...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hmmm, it's possible that one of the five is someone's son who will miss him and cry if I kill him...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Violence never solves anything, I should just let them rob me and hope for the best...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Perhaps I can reason with them, after all, they're human beings just like me...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are &lt;a href="http://www.thebadrash.com/2008/12/29/israel-considering-gaza-invasion/"&gt;bigoted idiots in the blogosphere&lt;/a&gt; who think that Israel killing hundreds of Palestinians when only 15 Israelis died is morally wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the problem: your house is surrounded by 100 thugs who throw grenades into your home every day.  Because you have a good security system, you are forewarned that a grenade is coming your way so most of the time you are lucky.  You take your family into the cellar and during the course of a year two of your children are killed.  You keep asking the thugs to stop but they do not listen.  Finally you can't take it anymore and you shoot 25 of them and your hope is to kill all of them.  To try to protect themselves, some of the thugs shield themselves with family members and in fact have their own children propelling the grenades hoping you won't shoot them.  Unfortunately there is no way to kill the thugs without injuring their family members.    Some leftwing-violence-doesn't-solve-anything moron reads in the paper that you killed 25 thugs and some poor innocent women and children while barely two of your family have died.  He calls your actions extreme.  Since there are only 5 in your family (actually now 3), you shouldn't kill more than 5 of them.  Is there a name for such a morally-bankrupt imbecile?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, Liberal idiot, if there weren't tens of thousands of Hamas terrorists lobbing missiles into Israel there wouldn't be this many to shoot at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The First Disproportionate Response by Israelites&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moses is to blame for this.  Over 3,500 years ago, he wiped out the entire Egyptian army even though not one single Jew died, "And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them." (Exodus 14:28)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's been like that ever since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cross-posted at &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/12/israel_and_disproportionate_response.html"&gt;Planck's Constant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-1366305229806033138?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/1366305229806033138" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/1366305229806033138" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2008/12/israel-and-disproportionate-response.html" title="Israel and Disproportionate Response" /><author><name>bernie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06651895179601333716</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08521833980028891362" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SVwek7bnpCI/AAAAAAAAAiI/ECUxhqCszFs/s72-c/redseasm.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-2982338600374889200</id><published>2008-12-28T20:26:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-28T20:30:21.008-05:00</updated><title type="text">UK Honor Killings</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/12/uk_honor_killings.html"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 10px;" alt="Muslim wife among the trash" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SVgniGzrYcI/AAAAAAAAAh4/xoXXCNhb-1s/s400/muslimwifesm.jpg" border="0" align="left" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:100px;line-height:80px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family:times;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;henever I make fun of Muslim violence and Islamic bombings, some Muslim always responds with some excuse that they happen to live peaceful lives, that they don't blow up buses filled with schoolchildren, nor are they stoned or killed for not wearing the hijab.  Usually these peaceful, liberated Muslims live in Western countries and think that because they haven't yet been killed for taking on western ways that Muslim life must truly be just as they are living it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, reader Saara, a Muslim female, commenting on my post &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/09/muslim-humor-muslim-jokes.html"&gt;Muslim Humor - Muslim Jokes&lt;/a&gt; left this &lt;a href="http://www.haloscan.com/comments/bernieg1/Muslim_Humor___Muslim_Jokes/#69091"&gt;comment&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p&gt;OMG whats goin on here?? Im 15 years old and im more mature than all of you !! God Sake forget all the rascim and grow up ! i know there are so many muslims out there bombing people and i totally disagree with that but you have got to remember its not all muslims !! Im a muslim and i would never think to bomb people. And in my family women are equal to men, we have jobs we go out we have a life , we don`t be locked inside our houses and we are not forced to cover ourselves up. Girls in my family that wear headscarves are treated the same as girls that don`t wear headscarves in our family so don`t get your final opinion that muslim women are opressed because thats only a minority. last of all stop swearing at each other it doesnt solve anything neway BYE =]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I checked the IP address [94.192.79.198] from whence came this young lady: Leeds, UK.  I never get comments from Muslim women in Islamic countries, probably because they are not allowed on the Internet, prisoners as they are in their own homes.  As usual, this girl thinks that because her father hasn't killed any of her sisters for taking on western ways, that her family is the norm for Muslim families.  Saara is in denial, see my article, &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2007/09/muslim_women_slaves_in_denial.html"&gt;Muslim Women Slaves in Denial&lt;/a&gt;.  It happens that at least one young Muslim is killed by a relative every month in the UK for dishonoring her family by wearing western clothing or dating someone.  Saara most likely ignores material like this readily found by googling "uk honor killings": &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;BBC, &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/honourcrimes/crimesofhonour_1.shtml"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Honour killings in the UK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2002, Heshu Yones, 16, was stabbed to death by her father, Abdullah, because he disapproved of her Western dress and Christian boyfriend.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Mustaq Ahmed, 40, a Muslim businessman murdered his daughter's boyfriend because he disapproved of their relationship. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering 22-year-old Albanian Rexhap Hasani in 2003.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Rukhsana Naz, 19, wanted to divorce her husband to marry her boyfriend by whom she was pregnant. She refused to have an abortion and was strangled by her brother with a piece of plastic flex while her mother, Shakeela, held her down. The family put Rukhsana's body in the car and drove 100 miles to dump it. Shakeela Naz and her son Shazad Ali were sentenced to life imprisonment for the killing in 1999.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Outside the UK, honour killings have been reported in countries throughout the world including: Bangladesh, Brazil, Ecuador, Egypt, Germany, India, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan, Palestine, Sweden, Turkey, and Uganda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The practice is common in Pakistan where police believe that up to 4,000 people, mostly women, have died in brutal honour killings in the four years between 2000 and 2004. Hundreds of women are raped or killed there each year in so-called honour attacks for behaviour including extramarital affairs or marriage without a family's consent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be noted that the BBC is a media entity quite biased in favor of Islam so whatever you read above has likely been softened up and cleaned of even more egregious examples of Muslim barbarity and savagery against their own families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the fact that thousands of young Muslim women are killed each year for acting western, Saara actually believes that those women who are oppressed are only in the minority.  Poor deluded Saara, she doesn't even realize that whenever one of her girl friends die because of a supposed suicide, fire or accident, in actual fact it is a disguised honor killing by the girl's family.  So Saara continues in her ignorant belief that Muslim women are treated hunky-dory in all of Islam.  Poor Saara, some day she will dishonor her family and I will lose a reader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/nov/30/iraq-honor-killings-women"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hitmen charge $100 a victim as Basra honour killings rise&lt;/a&gt;, Except: "Authorities in the southern Iraqi city of Basra have admitted they are powerless to prevent 'honour killings' in the city following a 70 per cent increase in religious murders during the past year."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Muslim apologists will excuse honor killings as a cultural/Mideast/Arab problem, but what about honor killings by non-Arabs not from the Middle East: &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;UPI Asia, 9 Feb 2008, &lt;a href="http://www.upiasia.com/Society_Culture/2008/02/09/uk_honor_killings_a_blotch_on_immigrants/3807/"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;U.K. honor killings a blotch on immigrants&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Committed mostly against women -- first, second and even third generation British Asians from Pakistan and India -- who dare make the most of a free, democratic society by educating and asserting themselves, "honor killings" are carried out by the male or elderly members of their family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having migrated from tribal, feudal and patriarchal rural societies with little or no education, the men have not been able to shrug off the cloistered male-dominated psyche. Their home societies, where village elders still set the moral parameters and empowerment of women is sacrilegious, continue to impact their conscience and judgment even when they are settled in the United Kingdom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iris.org.il/blog/archives/2250-UK-Muslim-Honor-Killing-Wife-Daughters-Burned-Alive.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UK Muslim Honor Killing: Wife &amp; Daughters Burned Alive&lt;/a&gt;, Excerpt: "Mohammed Riaz made every conceivable attempt to prevent his wife and daughters enjoying their Westernised lifestyle.

Around 40 schoolchildren are to be interviewed over claims that they have been subjected to violence and punishment by elders at the mosques, which are on adjoining roads.&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;As word spread that an official complaint had been made, more children from the area came forward to report beatings and abuse which, the youths say, include being hit, slapped and even beaten with a hockey stick.&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;Police have been forced to tread lightly as elders and mullahs at mosques are among the most respected and influential people in the community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relations with the Muslim community in the area are fragile and police officers are aware of the difficulty they face getting evidence as often local people are reluctant to talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A source close to the inquiry said: "There is a cultural problem to deal with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, the cultural problem is that Muslims are friggen too violent to get involved with.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, in the photo above can you spot which is the Muslim wife and which is the garbage?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cross-posted at &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/12/uk_honor_killings.html"&gt;Planck's Constant&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-2982338600374889200?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/2982338600374889200" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/2982338600374889200" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2008/12/uk-honor-killings.html" title="UK Honor Killings" /><author><name>bernie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06651895179601333716</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08521833980028891362" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SVgniGzrYcI/AAAAAAAAAh4/xoXXCNhb-1s/s72-c/muslimwifesm.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-7538761390159420203</id><published>2008-11-26T09:44:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-26T09:44:49.646-05:00</updated><title type="text">YID With LID: Will Franken Be Able to STEAL the Minnesota Senate Seat?</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2008/11/will-franken-be-able-to-steal-minnesota.html"&gt;YID With LID: Will Franken Be Able to STEAL the Minnesota Senate Seat?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can't win an election, you steal it.

Perhaps now isa good time to look at &lt;a href="http://www.career-education.net/medical-billing-coding-schools.htm"&gt;medical billing jobs&lt;/a&gt;. The Medical Billing and Coding plays a crucial part in this country's healthcare industry. A Medical Biller and Coder is responsible for creating and reviewing medical records for documentation supporting not only assignment of a specific code to a medical condition, but also the medical necessity of the prescribed treatment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Statistics show a 57% increase in job opportunities between now and 2010 in the Medical Billing and Coding field. Many will be employed by hospitals but job growth will be greater in physicians' offices and clinics, nursing homes and home health agencies ( according to the U.S. Department of Labor). The best positions will go to the people trained in Medical and Healthcare Administration, Medical Assisting, Health Care Services, and especially in Programs geared towards Insurance Coding or Medical Billing and Coding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this appeals to you visit &lt;a href="http://www.career-education.net/medical-billing-coding-schools.htm"&gt;Career Education. net&lt;/a&gt; today.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-7257001868378661466?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/7257001868378661466" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/7257001868378661466" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2008/11/career-education.html" title="Career Education" /><author><name>Joe S.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00144233523488648653</uri><email>jmspez@msn.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="17597636644825319694" /></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-3596800773431213491</id><published>2008-11-16T16:18:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-17T16:22:06.886-05:00</updated><title type="text">A Year of Accomplishment</title><content type="html">From Brigitte Gabriel of ACT:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we prepare for the holiday season, it’s hard to believe that 2008 has nearly come and gone already. Less than 14 months ago we launched ACT! for America, and we now have close to 50,000 members and nearly 230 local chapters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that, years from now, historians and political scientists studying the radical Islamist threat to America during the early 21st century will ask themselves this question: Why didn’t America follow in the path of Europe and Great Britain? Why didn’t America become like “Eurabia?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when they do, they will find the answer by looking at ACT! for America. They will look at this organization, founded in 2007, and when they chart its growth they will see how ACT! for America successfully pushed back against the Islamofascist threat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the ancient proverb says, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Well, in charting our growth for this year it’s undeniable that together we took a BIG step forward towards the completion of that very important journey. &lt;br /&gt;In January we launched a petition and legislator-contact effort to help get “Rachel’s Law” passed in the New York state legislature. You may recall “Rachel’s Law” was introduced to protect New York authors from intimidation lawsuits filed against them in foreign jurisdictions. Thousands of you signed the petition and/or contacted New York legislators, and in late March the bill passed and was signed into law. The momentum from this victory led to the introduction of similar legislation, entitled “The Free Speech Protection Act,” in the U.S. Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in January we posted, for the first time, a listing of our local chapters on our website. By late summer we more than doubled the number of active chapters listed on our website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In April we commissioned a nationwide scientific poll, part of the “120 day plan,” to test voter opinion of numerous issues related to the threat of radical Islam. This random sample survey of 800 registered voters revealed that as many as 89% of American voters agree with our concerns about issues such as preventing the spread of shariah-compliant financing and de-funding terrorism. To our knowledge many of these questions have never been asked in such an opinion poll, and we have been able to use the results to better shape our legislative agenda and our educational outreach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the spring, with the help of the erstwhile leadership of former board member Jerry Gordon and our colleague Joseph Shahda, some key terrorist websites were taken offline by their American internet service providers. Later in the year this “dynamic duo,” working closely with the staff of Senator Joe Lieberman, helped bring about a new policy at Google/YouTube, which will no longer allow the posting of videos depicting terrorist acts perpetrated against Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In March news stories reported that a charter school in Minnesota, the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TiZA), appeared to be engaging in impermissible promotion of Islam at its taxpayer-funded school. Through email alerts, the actions of our central Minnesota chapter, and other efforts aimed at the Minnesota Department of Education, we called on the Department to take action. It did, launching an investigation of the school. The investigation resulted in the Department of Education issuing two citations to the school for violations of law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In May we launched our “PC (Politically Correct) Outrage of the Month” award, where we highlight a particularly noteworthy politically correct treatment of Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In June we launched a nationwide petition calling on Congress to convene hearings to review extremist materials that have been found in American mosques, a petition we will present to the new Congress in early 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In early August we learned that a Tennessee Tyson Foods plant had negotiated a labor contract with its employees that removed Labor Day as a paid holiday and replaced it with Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic holiday closing the month of Ramadan. In response to an email action alert we sent out, countless ACT! for America members called and emailed Tyson Foods to object to this action. Three days later Tyson Foods issued a press release reinstating Labor Day as one of its paid holidays and removing Eid al-Fitr as a required paid holiday for all employees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In early September we unveiled our first “congressional scorecard.” This scorecard tracked nearly 50 votes on key issues in the U.S. House and Senate going back to 2003. With a few clicks of a mouse anyone was now able to find out how any U.S. House or Senate member voted on legislation and amendments relating to national security and Islamic terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in September we held our first “Citizens in Action” training conference in Chino Hills, California, with nearly 200 people in attendance. As one attendee put it: “This was truly THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT I have ever attended.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In October we unveiled the ACT! for America 2008 Voter Guide. This voter guide effort was unprecedented in that we sought the positions of over 1,100 candidates for President, U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate on issues, such as Islamic shariah law and shariah-compliant financing, that have never been publicly debated in the halls of our national government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My new book, They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It, released in early September and made the New York Times bestseller list in eight days. In the last two chapters ACT! for America is profiled as the centerpiece for an aggressive call to action to our nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just this month we launched a project that takes direct aim at the infiltration of shariah-compliant finance into our society. On the heels of the recent financial crisis on Wall Street, shariah-compliant finance poses an immediate and extremely serious threat to our economic well-being and our freedoms. You will hear a great deal about this effort in the weeks and months to come.&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, we’ve had a very busy and very productive first full year – and this list only hits the high points of our projects, activities and accomplishments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I want to thank you for all you did to help make all of this possible. When you forwarded one of our emails, or made a contribution, or contacted a chapter leader, or took action on one of our action alerts, you helped move us forward. You helped make these accomplishments possible. We are steadily growing, and our collective voice is getting stronger and harder for politicians to ignore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008 we won some victories, but this is only the beginning. Our journey has begun, but we’ve only taken the first step. Tomorrow, we’ll look at some of the challenges that lie ahead and how we can take the next steps toward securing the blessings of liberty and prosperity to the generations that will follow us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always devoted, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brigitte Gabriel &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;always greatful for the great job ACT does in educating about and fighting Radical Islamofascism.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-3596800773431213491?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/3596800773431213491" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/3596800773431213491" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2008/11/year-of-accomplishment.html" title="A Year of Accomplishment" /><author><name>Joe S.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00144233523488648653</uri><email>jmspez@msn.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="17597636644825319694" /></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-9011027739727611317</id><published>2008-10-15T09:08:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-15T09:24:01.658-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="radicalization" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Islam in America" /><title type="text">Twenty-Year Plan: Islam Targets America</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tool.donation-net.net/Images/Email/1097/targeting_america.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://tool.donation-net.net/Images/Email/1097/targeting_america.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Brigette Gabriel at &lt;a href="http://www.actforamerica.org/"&gt;ACT&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Twenty-Year Plan: Islam Targets America&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Dr. Anis Shorrosh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.sullivan-county.com/immigration/rob_nothink.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we immigrated from Jerusalem, Jordan* in January, 1967, little did I imagine that Islam would become center-stage in world news. As my sincere interest in the growth of Islam in America intensified, I began to discuss, dialogue, and then debate Muslim leaders throughout the world from an Arab Christian's view of Islam. So far, I have had the privilege of participating in over 20 debates and discussions on every continent plus T.V. and radio. "Islam Revealed" was released in 1988 and is now in its 8th printing. The True Furqan is now in its third printing in the three years it has been published. It is the only book which challenges the Quran in substance, style, language and contents. "The True Furqan" can be located on http://www.answers-to-islam.net/ or http://www.islam-exposed.org/.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my analysis of the Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020! Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Terminate America's freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime bills state-wide and nation-wide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities to promote Islam as the original African-American's religion while Christianity is for the whites! Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, neither the fact that in Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, "Abed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office for favorable legislation to Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Yield to the fear of imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America - the black gold. America's economy depends on oil, (1000 products are derived from oil), so does its personal and industrial transportation and manufacturing -41% comes from the Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Yell, "foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran" anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions, get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way. Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a. Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b. No birth control whatsoever - every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c. Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years - since one cannot have the Muslim legal permission to marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d. Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so far 2000 released inmates have joined Al Qaida world-wide). Only a few have been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil. So far - sleeping cells!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are 300 exclusively Muslim schools with loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish "Centers for Islamic studies" with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, not the truth, which is Islam hijacked the terrorists. Furthermore in January of 2002, Saudi Arabia's Embassy in Washington mailed 4500 packets of the Quran, videos, promoting Islam to America's high schools--free. They would never allow us to reciprocate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards the Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Nullify America's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls. (We have experienced this too often since 9-11.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not American's justice system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S. but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. Raise interest in Islam on America's campuses by insisting that freshman take at least one course on Islam. Be sure that the writer is a bonafide American, Christian, scholarly and able to cover up the violence in the Quran and express the peaceful, spiritual and religious aspect only.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media of their visibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20.

They ignored my advice.  Instead of spending money on medical research that could benefit their own people and the rest of humanity, Iran has instead spent money on acquiring nuclear energy and socialist welfare programs.  Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with nuclear power for peaceful purposes, but Iran is putting its money in the wrong places.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran has the world's second-largest oil reserves behind Saudi Arabia but will no longer be able to export oil by around 2015 [&lt;a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article324.html"&gt;The Market Oracle&lt;/a&gt;] because it has failed to reinvest enough of its oil revenues into existing infrastructure repairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what does Iran spend its oil moneys on?  Its nuclear program is one well known drain.  The rest is wasted on Obama/ACORN-type socialist programs such as domestic aid, credit support and housing programs, sound familiar?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully, Israel will not let Iran develop nuclear power and so well before 2015 Iran, which covers 65% of its government revenues with oil moneys, will have to stop all its social programs which means we can expect another revolution there in less than a decade.  Iranians may put up with food shortages, gasoline shortages, forced wearing of veils, beating by Islamic police and other inconveniences but certainly they will not put up with cutting off their welfare programs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of trying to obtain nuclear weapons in order to implement the final solution for infidels, or throwing the money at social programs that make their own people lazy and dependent, or in fueling unrest in Iraq, if instead of all these self-destructive efforts Iran had invested in medical sciences they would not have had to embarrass themselves in front of the whole world by exporting their sick to Zionist Apes and Pigs in Israel for treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right.  Apes and pigs will be operating on an Iranian teenager who arrived in Israel for emergency brain surgery.  &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;JTA, &lt;a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/breaking/110743.html"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Critically ill Iranian being treated in Israel&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 13-year-old boy flew to Israel via Turkey, where he had undergone unsuccessful treatment for brain cancer, on Friday after receiving special permission from the Shin Bet security service and Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit, Ynet reported.

They ask, "How would you feel if most of your family were killed by American soldiers and your country occupied?"  The question betrays my reader's naivete of what is actually motivating Muslim hatred of the western world and a sad lack of knowledge of history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Millions of Germans and Japanese had many of their family killed by American soldiers and lived under our occupation for generations until even the present day without once sending over pro-Nazi jihadists or Shinto kamikazi to America or blowing up American embassies, so please spare me how justified Muslims are to commit suicide bombings because America occupies a tiny sliver of Muslim land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It happens I do know why so many Muslims commit so many barbaric attacks (more than &lt;a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/"&gt;1700 savage attacks&lt;/a&gt; a year).&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two kinds of Muslims, those who have many wives and sire many children and those who cannot afford to get married and have even one wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Muslim that has many children brings into this world thirty, forty, or fifty children many of whom fill the country with 20 year-old uneducated imbeciles who, if they can read have only read one book in their lives, who then gather on street corners, bored, unemployed, empty in pockets, devoid of hope, unable to pass a quiet evening in their own squalid, filthy, pathetic abodes because of the overcrowding and stench of a dozen yelling and screaming siblings.  These are the second type of Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These poor wretches have nothing to entertain themselves; music, films, dancing, drinking is forbidden and even when secretly available they do not have the money to purchase them.  Ignorant, penniless, jobless and dirty they do not have enough money or enough sheep to buy a wife nor enough dinars to buy even a dry-hump from a prostitute.  Rape of course is the least expensive form of entertainment and even if the woman is punished by stoning when she can't bring forth 4 witnesses to the assault she's better off dead anyway since her life is a series of beatings, abuse, and sexual torture from her brothers, uncles, fathers and any male that should wander into the house.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very few Muslim women have productive, happy lives; those in non-western countries are nothing more than annual baby factories and daily whipping posts for their husbands who barely treat them as well as the family goat.  Unable to travel alone, to drive, to have a career, to get educated these women whose only hope for happiness is to die and go to paradise are the ones raising young Muslim men who find the only break in their monotonous, pathetic, squalid, hopeless, bleak lives is to hear sermons in the mosque about how the Jews have plundered their wealth and how Americans have stolen their oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam is a perfect ideology for savages living in the 7th century.  The Quran promises them that everything that is forbidden or unavailable to them in life - wine, women and song - is available to them in paradise.  The Imams tell them that although America makes available wine, women and song on Earth now - that this is but the offerings of Satan.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Allah forbid that they learn America is indeed the paradise promised in the Quran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes I know what makes Muslims the savage, brutal, barbaric, baby-killing, woman-raping thugs they are.  It is their religion.  The sooner we wean them off that, the sooner we will have peace on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cross-Posted at &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/09/i_understand_muslims.html"&gt;Planck's Constant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-4060926483645697524?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/4060926483645697524" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/4060926483645697524" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-understand-muslims.html" title="I Understand Muslims" /><author><name>bernie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06651895179601333716</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08521833980028891362" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SNK7_L1m1dI/AAAAAAAAAYA/NY0Z1Db4i7c/s72-c/veil.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-2224233927189855338</id><published>2008-08-27T11:38:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-27T11:42:27.076-05:00</updated><title type="text">Good terrorists need not live</title><content type="html">&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Recently, an Israeli teacher killed a student. Precisely, Rabbi Bar-On shot a Palestinian student of Bir Zeit University who brandished a knife at him. What really bothered me was a universally gleeful response of Israeli media. The rabbi killed an attacker, good, but it cannot be a matter of joy. There are tremendous issues boiling behind the incident.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The Arab kid was not a professional terrorist, even though a Fatah-Al Aqsa offshoot claimed him a member. The kid went for essentially a suicide mission: he did not try to knife down Jews in Tel Aviv where he would be merely arrested, but at a junction near Shilo, in the dreaded “territories” where many Jewish males are armed and someone would certainly kill the Arab. Yet, he mustered only two knives. He was unfamiliar with this weapon and frightened, shaking. The Arab student was willing to sacrifice his life for a minimum damage to Jews.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;He was not a stereotypical terrorist. We are dealing here with the example of popular war. Palestinian society breeds hatred to “Zionist occupiers,” and Palestinian universities provide ample grounds for nationalist propaganda. It is not incitation, but realistic and truthful nationalist education.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Here lies the nightmare of primitive rationalism: Jews and Arabs are both right. Both defend their religious, nationalist, and homestead rights to the land. Arguing the fine points is senseless: Palestinians believe that they are a nation, and Jews won’t be able to convince them otherwise. There can be no compromise; people don’t compromise over their basic religious and national rights, not if they want to remain a self-respecting religious community or a nation. Those Jews who are looking to compromise do so because they don’t believe they have any rights here: assimilated atheists, what do they have to do with the Holy Land?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Palestinian Arabs, on the contrary, believe in their rights. If Jews abandoned to them Hebron and Schem, the ancient Jewish cities, how much more do the Zionists owe them Haifa and Jaffa, the towns with originally Arab majority? Jews act like the classic People of the Sea, foreign marauders who settled the shores of Canaan time and again without venturing deep into the hilly country. If Judea is not Jewish, then what rights do the Jews possibly have to any other place in Palestine?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;In the real life, situations where both conflicting parties are right, arise often. When the contended issues are critical to the opponents, no mild solution is possible. Olmert-Barak-Peres-Netanyahu can give away Judea and Samaria to Arabs, but should a decent Jewish leader arise he will drive the Arabs out. Fatah-Hamas-PIJ can accept Israel, but should a more militant Palestinian leader arise, they will restart terrorism against Jews. And millions of Arabs living in Israel will help them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-2224233927189855338?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/2224233927189855338" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/2224233927189855338" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2008/08/good-terrorists-need-not-live.html" title="Good terrorists need not live" /><author><name>Danny</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06871870906267643906</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="15665348184943938244" /></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-5175288190187004094</id><published>2008-08-27T09:52:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-27T09:55:20.962-05:00</updated><title type="text">Why are Arabs Portrayed as Evil in Hollywood?</title><content type="html">&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:100px;line-height:80px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;lways the villain? With author Jack Shaheen, actor Ahmed Ahmed and producer Abdullah Omeish, this episode of the &lt;a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/rizkhan/2006/12/2008526122612498735.html"&gt;Riz Khan show&lt;/a&gt; on Al Jazeera English looks at stereotypical portrayals of Arabs in Hollywood and asks why these continue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AO7DidIupQ4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AO7DidIupQ4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do not see the Youtube video above click &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO7DidIupQ4"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the 00:32 second mark we are shown a clip from the film &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0431197/"&gt;The Kingdom (2007)&lt;/a&gt; where an Arab suicide bomber sets off a suicide vest full of explosives in a crowded American compound in Saudi Arabia.  I fully agree with Riz Khan that it was totally unnecessary and stereotypical to use an Arab Muslim in this scene.  Wouldn't it have had the exact same impact and meaning if instead they had used Russian agents of the former KGB?  There is one problem though:   this attack, which was the inspiration for the film, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riyadh_compound_bombings"&gt;actually happened on 12 May 2003&lt;/a&gt; and unfortunately for Hollywood scriptwriters the perpetrators were Arab Muslims and not KGB agents.  I suppose Arabs/Muslims would prefer that we dispense with truth and accuracy if it offends or insults their culture/religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/image3/sub4/ashraf.jpg"  &gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SLVqk-uqndI/AAAAAAAAAXo/J9_e4KQR9iM/s400/ashrafsm.jpg" alt="the kingdom movie: ashraf barhom" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8218901@N03/2128880192/"&gt;Ashraf Barhom in The Kingdom&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photo by: &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/8218901@N03/"&gt;ahm_79&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I saw this film and I have to tell you that, if anything, this is one film that portrays Arabs, and Muslim Arabs in particular, in a very, very complimentary manner.  Although some might think that &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/image3/sub4/jensbreasts.jpg"&gt;Jennifer Garner's boobs&lt;/a&gt; were the main attraction in this film, one has to admire the performance of Ashraf Barhom (an Israeli of Arabic heritage, by the way) who plays Saudi police Colonel Faris Al Ghazi, an Arab Muslim who is deeply religious, dedicated to his job, street-smart, loyal to his men, fair to his American friends, and professional in his conduct.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If one had to select a movie where Arabs or Muslims were portrayed in the best possible light one couldn't pick a better film than "The Kingdom".  Riz Khan certainly made a mistake in criticizing this film for so-called Hollywood stereotyping of Arabs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;It is not Hollywood at Fault&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So one should not be asking if Hollywood is unnecessarily portraying Arabs as evil, the question should be, is Hollywood lying about Arabs?  If Hollywood produced a film showing Arabs (instead of Indians) attacking a wagon train in the old West merely to vilify them I would be the first to condemn it.  On the other hand, I think it is morally wrong to portray Polacks instead of Italians as running the Gambino crime family, to show Chinese instead of Arabs attacking the World Trade Center, or to represent Buddhists instead of Christians heading up the Inquisition.  Certainly if we distort the truth for political correctness, we end up insulting some other culture or religion.  The solution, if we carry it to its logical conclusion, is not to use Semitic-looking actors to portray Islamic terrorists, or black actors to depict inner-city drug dealers or Italians as Mafioso.  Pizza shop owners, Persian rug merchants, and French restaurateurs should be masked actors of indeterminate ethnic origin and color so as not to insult any particular nationality, culture, religion or species which of course is utter nonsense.&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Another Offensive film&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Riz Khan also criticizes the film &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475276/"&gt;United 93&lt;/a&gt; (at the 7:30 minute mark).  Here we see Muslim Arabs preparing themselves for their suicide mission while in the background we hear Quranic passages being recited.  Riz Khan wonders why Hollywood has to mix religion with culture.  Why are the bad guys Muslims?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, every intelligent person knows that most Muslims are not Arabs, but so what?  It was in fact Muslim Arabs who commandeered United Flight 93;  what was Hollywood supposed to do in this film, have a Bulgarian midget reciting passages from the Book of Mormon?  How is merely portraying actual historical events accurately and truthfully a stereotype?  Are Muslims asking Hollywood to change history so that a particular ethnic or religious group doesn't get its burqa in a twist?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously movies supposedly based on "a true story" have to be dramatized in order to entertain, and I understand that Hollywood plays loose with facts anyway but this does not mean that they must completely distort the truth just to avoid offending some idiot in Wadi Kaboom.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Arabs and Muslims want to be portrayed as scientists and great contributors to civilization they need to stop spending money on religious madrassas and spend their oil moneys on science education.  Then they won't be so embarrassingly &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/03/muslim_inventions_nobel_prizes.html"&gt;under-represented in Nobel Prizes&lt;/a&gt; compared with the Jews.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related:&lt;br /&gt;Let's not think that documentaries are any different than Hollywood fiction flicks. We recall that Michael Moore produces socialist propaganda films.  His faux-documentaries "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Sicko" exploit the mental deficiencies of liberal idiots who believe the contradiction that our government is evil when it fights against Islamic terror but benevolent when it fights against American Corporations:  &lt;blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Planck's Constant, &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2007/05/100_shoes_and_the_us.html"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;$100 Shoelaces and Healthcare in America&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Moore has learned that great huckster lesson that you need only appeal to that half of the population that believes in a flat earth, that Bush caused the WTC massacre, that we never landed on the moon, and that masturbation leads to warts on your hand (I burn mine off with acid). Indeed, there is a large segment of the population that believes that everything in "Fahrenheit 911" is true and sadly they will also believe that the UK or Cuba has a better health care system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cross-Posted at &lt;a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/08/why_are_arabs_portrayed_as_evil_in_hollywood.html"&gt;Planck's Constant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-5175288190187004094?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/5175288190187004094" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/5175288190187004094" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2008/08/why-are-arabs-portrayed-as-evil-in.html" title="Why are Arabs Portrayed as Evil in Hollywood?" /><author><name>bernie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06651895179601333716</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08521833980028891362" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_O5O52txLJ_8/SLVqk-uqndI/AAAAAAAAAXo/J9_e4KQR9iM/s72-c/ashrafsm.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-729091428264594414</id><published>2008-08-18T10:36:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-18T10:39:39.600-05:00</updated><title type="text">grovel grovel grovel</title><content type="html">From &lt;a href="http://www.actforamerica.org/"&gt;ACT for America&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A festival of groveling to terrorists&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If works of art are withdrawn because of fear of reprisal, we lose the chance for open debate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mick Hume&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/mick_hume/article4509698.ece&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you heard about the first novel by a young American woman that has become the “new Satanic Verses”, sparking terrorist attacks on the publishers and riots by Islamic militants that make the protests against Salman Rushdie's book look like an English tea party?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, you probably won't have, since there is no book for anybody to riot about. The US publishers Random House pulled The Jewel of Medina by Sherry Jones, due out today, on the ground that it “might be offensive to some in the Muslim community” and “could incite acts of violence by a small, radical segment”. An executive told the author that they had stopped her racy historical novel about Aisha, young wife of the Prophet Muhammad, out of “fear of a possible terrorist threat from extremist Muslims” and concern for “the safety and security of the Random House building and employees”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There had been no acts of violence or terrorism, nor even threats or protests. All that happened was that one non-Muslim associate professor of Islamic history at the University of Texas, who was sent a proof copy, apparently cautioned that the book would be seen as “a declaration of war... explosive stuff... a national security issue” and more offensive than The Satanic Verses. There swiftly followed a riot of retreating publishers, and the book was blown out before anybody had the chance to set light to it for the cameras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks like another example of a quiet wave of self-censorship and cultural cowardice sweeping Western art circles. Two years ago, when the Deutsche opera in Berlin scrapped a production of Mozart's Idomeneo for fear that it might offend some Muslims, I described it as “pre-emptive grovelling”. This now appears to be the modus operandi of the transatlantic arts elites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has just been reported that the BBC has dropped a big-budget docu-drama, The London Bombers. A team of journalists had spent months researching it in Beeston, Leeds, home of some of the 7/7 terrorists, and a top writer was preparing the final draft, when it was scrapped. The journalists were reportedly told by BBC executives that it was Islamophobic and offensive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, the New Culture Forum published a survey of similar cases, from the BBC hospital soap Casualty changing Muslim terrorists into animal rights activists, to the Barbican cutting out scenes from Tamburlaine the Great and the “cutting-edge” Royal Court Theatre cancelling an adaptation of Aristophanes' Lysistrata, both for fear that they might offend some Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The threat to freedom here does not come from a few Islamic radicals, but from the invertebrate liberals of the cultural establishment who have so lost faith in themselves that they will surrender their freedoms before anybody starts a fight. The mere suggestion of causing offence to some mob of imagined stereotypes is enough to have them scurrying for a bomb shelter, their creative imaginations blowing up small protests into the threat of a big culture war. Of course, such pre-emptive grovelling only encourages any zealot with a blog to demand even more censorship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who needs book burners if “offensive” books are not allowed to be published in the first place? Why bother to protest against provocative plays if the theatres will turn the lights off for you beforehand? There is no need even for a polite exchange on Points of View if the controversial programmes never get made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quality or lack of it in the self-censored works is not the issue here. That associate professor from Texas condemned the novel about Muhammad's wife as “soft porn”. But so what if it was? Free expression should mean freedom for what others see as filth, too. If there are artists childishly causing offence for its own sake, feel free to ignore them, but not to gag them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pre-emptive grovelling, encouraged from the top down by our illiberal authorities, is bad for the arts and for society. The arts can only flourish in a climate of cultural anarchy rather than compulsion and conformity. The attempt to limit what can be said must have a chilling effect, encouraging other writers and artists to pull in their horns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such self-censorship is also dangerous for those who don't much care about high culture. There is indeed a lesson from the Satanic Verses controversy, but not the one often cited. The dominant response to that clash of cultures was to try to bury it beneath worthy multicultural claptrap about celebrating difference. After more than 15 years of such attempts to suppress honest debate, the tensions festering beneath the surface exploded on the London transport system. As one female Muslim writer critical of the decision not to publish The Jewel of Medina says: “The series of events that torpedoed this novel are a window into how quickly fear stunts intelligent discourse about the Muslim world.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an old libertarian of the Left, who has long upheld the Right to Be Offensive, what makes me most angry today is to see fearful self-censorship and pre-emptive grovelling in the name of liberal values. That really is something worth intellectually rioting about.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240542122758179497-729091428264594414?l=jihadidujour.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240542122758179497/posts/default/729091428264594414" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/729091428264594414" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://jihadidujour.blogspot.com/2008/08/grovel-grovel-grovel.html" title="grovel grovel grovel" /><author><name>Joe S.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00144233523488648653</uri><email>jmspez@msn.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="17597636644825319694" /></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240542122758179497.post-5161260854562816712</id><published>2008-08-14T11:02:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-14T11:14:07.246-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sponsored Buzz" /><title type="text">Sponsored Buzz : Leptitrex</title><content type="html">Summer is a time of self-exposure. The summer sun beckons to strip down and tone up. Some of us struggle with the tone up part. Nothing beats a healthy diet and an exercise plan but they don't always work by themselves. Sometimes a suppliment is needed. It is not a failure of discipline to use diet pills. Used wisely you can achieve your goals in weight loss and toning. People like me who have love handles and accompanying embarrassments can now have access to research that helps decide which are the best diet pills for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One such review is about&lt;a href="http://www.sybervision.com/reviews/Leptitrex.php"&gt;Leptitrex&lt;/a&gt;.

Does the website promise that you will lose 50 pounds of fat in a month - definitely not (no diet pill could live up to that claim)! But with the ingredients listed, you could definitely lose between 10 and 20 pounds.", the article claims.
