The Epidemic of UK Muslim Pedophile Rings and Stereotypes

2013-06-17T18:46:25Z

Putting people into stereotypes is sometimes a good thing. Without stereotypes our social world would be overly complicated; for example, joke-telling would turn quite convoluted and not be as funny. Consider the following joke from my article More Offensive Muslim Jokes:

Q. How was copper wire invented?
A. Once, two Jews grabbed the same penny...

Without stereotypes here is how one would have to tell the same joke:

Q. How was copper wire invented?
A. Long ago there were these two guys that were very greedy, clever, and extremely cheap. So cheap they would fight over even a penny. So one day they both grabbed the same penny and neither would let go, stretching it immensely. Ergo: copper wire.

Without stereotypes it would have been almost impossible for the feds to cripple the Mafia in the past few decades if they had not concentrated on people of Italian descent.

Likewise, without stereotypes we would think that the epidemic of the child sex trade in the UK is unrelated to the religion of the perpetrators. If the abusers were Christian or Jewish then the UK government would have reacted more forcefully and decisively, but because they were Muslim, officials were "Terrified of accusations of racism, desperate not to undermine the official creed of cultural diversity, [and therefore] they took no action against obvious abuse. (1)"

Thus, because the UK is afraid to use the word Muslim (they instead use the word 'Asian' to describe the sex criminals), because they believe stereotypes are somehow racist, they perpetuate and encourage the sex trafficking of young, white girls in their country.

Without stereotypes it is impossible to fight a war against your enemy.

I read some good advice on how to ameliorate the rape and abuse problem in the UK: the sex slaves need to stop being so Islamophobic and to "stop being so racist while they are being raped (2)."

Clash Daily, 5 Jun 2013, The Religion of Peace on Display: The Epidemic of UK Muslim Pedophile Rings
The Oxfordshire child-sex-trafficking ring was allowed by the authorities’ negligence to drug, rape and sell for sex girls aged 11-16 over seven years. Seven gang members, all Muslim, have been found guilty of a string of sex offences just over two weeks ago. Consider the following quote:
The fact is that the vicious activities of the Oxford ring are bound up with religion and race: religion, because all the perpetrators, though they had different nationalities, were Muslim; and race, because they deliberately targeted vulnerable white girls, whom they appeared to regard as ‘easy meat’, to use one of their revealing, racist phrases.
Indeed, one of the victims who bravely gave evidence in court told a newspaper afterwards that ‘the men exclusively wanted white girls to abuse’.

But as so often in fearful, politically correct modern Britain, there is a craven unwillingness to face up to this reality.

Commentators and politicians tip-toe around it, hiding behind weasel words.

...

In all these incidents, the abusers were Muslim men, and their targets were under-age white girls.

Moreover, reputable studies show that around 26 per cent of those involved in grooming and exploitation rings are Muslims, which is around five times higher than the proportion of Muslims in the adult male population.

To pretend that this is not an issue for the Islamic community is to fall into a state of ideological denial.

But then part of the reason this scandal happened at all is precisely because of such politically correct thinking.
All the agencies of the state, including the police, the social services and the care system, seemed eager to ignore the sickening exploitation that was happening before their eyes.

Terrified of accusations of racism, desperate not to undermine the official creed of cultural diversity, they took no action against obvious abuse.

Wintery Knight, 15 May 2013, Police and social workers ignored sex-trafficking, rape and abuse by Muslims
What caused police and social workers to avoid rescuing the white girls from the Muslim men? Well, I think if you ask any university-educated liberal, they would explain to you that charging Muslims with crimes in Western societies is “Islamophobia”. This is what people learn in university. You can’t treat Muslims like everyone else, equal under the law, because that’s “Islamophobia”. The Labor Party, which enacted the lax immigration policies of the last decade in the United Kingdom, would tell you that those British pre-teen girls just need to be more sensitive to other cultures and stop being so racist while they are being raped.

Sean Penn is an Idiot

2013-06-16T14:52:47Z

In response to my article Tyranny and Islam - Good Together wherein I argue that Islam is incompatible with Democracy, a reader, calling himself A MUSLIM BROTHER, left the following comment:

THIS IS RIDICULOUS...
WOMEN AND MEN.. WHO CHOOSE TO BE MUSLIM..

DO ARE NOT "FORCED" INTO ANYTHING..

DICTATORS, Sure there are.. set up by you western SCUM

CIA AND NSA and what not.. just like they are intending for SYRIA now..

PEACE

It amazes me sometimes how often Muslims and Liberal idiots spout the same nonsense that Muslim countries were fine and dandy until Americans came along and invaded them. For example, recall the trip that Sean Penn made to Iraq back in 2002 to convince himself that war with Iraq was not necessary (1).

Here is how Sean Penn saw the world back then and still sees it now:

What a wonderful world it was, milk and honey in every Muslim nation, before the US brutally invaded every one and turned their inhabitants into ignorant and vicious savages and depleted their resources.

Common Dreams, 15 Dec 2002, Sean Penn Says War in Iraq Is Avoidable
If a U.S.-led war with Iraq smears blood on his hands as an American citizen, Sean Penn wants to know why -- and he has come to Baghdad to find out.
"Absolutely I think war can be avoided, but obviously it's going to take enormous commitment on the part of the Iraqi government as well as the United States," the actor-director told Reuters television in an interview on Sunday.

"I will certainly do what I can to support that commitment to looking for other options," Penn said.

...

Penn said it would "suit us all" if Iraq fully disclosed any banned weapons it still has, but questioned whether U.S. national security concerns about this justified war.

The Difference Between Jews and Muslims on American Idol

2013-06-16T04:06:20Z

In many ways, very religious Jews are not that much different than very religious Muslims. For example, both condemn women who appear on shows like American Idol even though there is nothing in either the Quran or Torah that forbids women singing in public.

Consider the following:

The Huffington Post, 25 Feb 2013, Singing On 'Idol,' And Facing Wrath Of Religious Traditionalists
Photo: Latifa 'Azizi, teen, faces death threats for participating in the Afghan talent show 'Afghan Star'.

In Afghanistan, a modestly dressed woman who placed third on "Afghan Star" received multiple death threats. Fearing for her life, she fled to Pakistan. Another woman, who placed eighth on the show, also went into hiding after she made a music video without wearing a headscarf.

In Israel, though an Orthodox Jewish teenager does not worry for her safety, her recent performance on Israel's "The Voice" prompted the principal of her religious school to suspend her for two weeks.

What happened in Afghanistan is repeated in dozens of Muslim countries. It doesn't matter that most Muslims don't care if a Muslim girl appears on these shows, they might even enjoy them. What matters is that Islamic radicals control the debate and if they threaten a girl's life then the rest stay quiet.

I started this article by saying that in many ways, very religious Jews are not that much different than very religious Muslims. There is one difference of how they treat disrespectful young women who appear on talent shows. Strict Muslims try to kill these women while strict Jews want to give them two weeks suspension in school.

And what a beautiful difference that is. It makes one want to sing.

Welcome to Belgistan

I believe there is a group of people who are more dangerous than Muslim extremists. Even more dangerous than the vicious animals who killed thousands on 9/11. I'm talking about the idiots who mock those of us who recognize the moderate Muslim threat facing us.

I do not worry about Muslim terrorists - Homeland Security has undercover operatives working in mosques and in Muslim areas in order to uncover future terrorist attacks and, except for the Boston Marathon, has been able to thwart a number of Muslim plots.

But Muslim terrorists are not a threat to our way of life. Sure, they may kill a few thousand Americans here and there, but they cannot change our culture or our values or our way of life. Only a moderate Muslim onslaught can do that. Tens of millions of moderate Muslims can change our culture, change our values, change our way of life without firing a shot and there is nothing Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA, or anybody else can do about it.

Morons like those over at Loonwatch write stupid things like this:

Loonwatch, Bat Ye’or: Anti-Muslim Loon with a Crazy Conspiracy Theory Named “Eurabia”
The culmination of Bat Ye’or’s theories is what she coins as “Eurabia,” a (not so) clever combination of the words “Europe” and “Arabia.” Basically, the theory is that Arab and Muslim immigration (of “stealth jihadists”) will soon overwhelm Europe, destroy Western culture and civilization forever, and replace the democratic governments with Taliban style theocracies. While that does sound like an interesting plot for a fictional movie, it is pure insanity to take this seriously. Bat Ye’or is simply delusional.

Well, if Loonwatch won't believe any theory promulgated by an Islamophobe, perhaps they should listen to a man who knows exactly how his fellow Muslims are actually going to take over Europe and install Shariah law: the video begins "The graffiti on a building in Belgium says it all: 'Welcome to 'Belgistan.'"

cbn.com, Belgistan? Sharia Showdown Looms in Brussels

Websites like Loonwatch lull the public into believing that there is no Muslim problem. Some day that kind of propaganda will be and should be considered treason.

Europe does have a choice:

Vlaams Belang is a Belgian far-right political party in the Flemish Region and Brussels that advocates the independence of Flanders and strict limits on immigration. I wish them luck.

Here Is a Country Without a Muslim Problem

2013-06-12T14:15:37Z

Yesterday, in my article The Difference Between Muslims and Infidels in the UK, we saw how British police are loath to arrest Muslims for actual crimes while quickly putting in jail non-Muslims who just think bad thoughts about Muslims.

I pointed out this happens when there are too many Muslims in a country. But here is a place that doesn't have a Muslim problem: Japan. Why? Simple, they don't let them in, nor treat them with kid gloves, indeed, they don't apologize for their negative, public, official view of Islam. Which is the way a vile, vicious, violent ideology should be treated.

Please read the addendum at the bottom of this post to clear up a few items in the article cited below.

Middle East and Terrorism Blog, 17 May 2013, The Land without Muslims

Shaykh Abdullah Takazawa
Tokyo's Only Imam
Photo Credit: Information Malay Now
There are countries in the world, mainly in Europe, that are presently undergoing significant cultural transformations as a result of Muslim immigration. France, Germany, Belgium and Holland are interesting examples of cases where immigration from Muslim countries, together with the Muslims’ high fertility rate, effects every area of life.

It is interesting to know that there is a country in the world whose official and public approach to the Muslim matter is totally different. This country is Japan. This country keeps a very low profile on all levels regarding the Muslim matter: On the diplomatic level, senior political figures from Islamic countries almost never visit Japan, and Japanese leaders rarely visit Muslim countries. The relations with Muslim countries are based on concerns such as oil and gas, which Japan imports from some Muslim countries. The official policy of Japan is not to give citizenship to Muslims who come to Japan, and even permits for permanent residency are given sparingly to Muslims.

Japan forbids exhorting people to adopt the religion of Islam (Dawah), and any Muslim who actively encourages conversion to Islam is seen as proselytizing to a foreign and undesirable culture. Few academic institutions teach the Arabic language. It is very difficult to import books of the Qur’an to Japan, and Muslims who come to Japan, are usually employees of foreign companies. In Japan there are very few mosques. The official policy of the Japanese authorities is to make every effort not to allow entry to Muslims, even if they are physicians, engineers and managers sent by foreign companies that are active in the region. Japanese society expects Muslim men to pray at home.

Japanese companies seeking foreign workers specifically note that they are not interested in Muslim workers. And any Muslim who does manage to enter Japan will find it very difficult to rent an apartment. Anywhere a Muslim lives, the neighbors become uneasy. Japan forbids the establishment of Islamic organizations, so setting up Islamic institutions such as mosques and schools is almost impossible. In Tokyo there is only one imam.

In contrast with what is happening in Europe, very few Japanese are drawn to Islam. If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim, she will be considered an outcast by her social and familial environment. There is no application of Shari’a law in Japan. There is some food in Japan that is halal, kosher according to Islamic law, but it is not easy to find it in the supermarket.

The Japanese approach to Muslims is also evidenced by the numbers: in Japan there are 127 million residents, but only ten thousand Muslims, less than one hundredth of a percent. The number of Japanese who have converted is thought to be few. In Japan there are a few tens of thousands of foreign workers who are Muslim, mainly from Pakistan, who have managed to enter Japan as workers with construction companies. However, because of the negative attitude towards Islam they keep a low profile.

There are several reasons for this situation:

First, the Japanese tend to lump all Muslims together as fundamentalists who are unwilling to give up their traditional point of view and adopt modern ways of thinking and behavior. In Japan, Islam is perceived as a strange religion, that any intelligent person should avoid.

...

The most interesting thing in Japan’s approach to Islam is the fact that the Japanese do not feel the need to apologize to Muslims for the negative way in which they relate to Islam.

...

Japan manages to remain a country almost without a Muslim presence because Japan’s negative attitude toward Islam and Muslims pervades every level of the population, from the man in the street to organizations and companies to senior officialdom. In Japan, contrary to the situation in other countries, there are no “human rights” organizations to offer support to Muslims’ claims against the government’s position. In Japan no one illegally smuggles Muslims into the country to earn a few yen, and almost no one gives them the legal support they would need in order to get permits for temporary or permanent residency or citizenship.

...

The fact that the public and the officials are united in their attitude against Muslim immigration has created a sort of iron wall around Japan that Muslims lack both the permission and the capability to overcome. This iron wall silences the world’s criticism of Japan in this matter, because the world understands that there is no point in criticizing the Japanese, since criticism will not convince them to open the gates of Japan to Muslim immigration.

Japan is teaching the whole world an interesting lesson: there is a direct correlation between national heritage and permission to immigrate: a people that has a solid and clear national heritage and identity will not allow the unemployed of the world to enter its country; and a people whose cultural heritage and national identity is weak and fragile, has no defense mechanisms to prevent a foreign culture from penetrating into its country and its land.

[The article is written by Dr. Mordechai Kedar - here is the article in the original Hebrew.]

I expect someone with a name like Ahmed to raise the question, "But Bernie how would you feel if they excluded Jews as well?" My answer is simple: any country that excludes Jews suffers by not having them. Do I feel bad that Saudi Arabia doesn't like Jews? No, that country deserves not having any Jews.

Most importantly of course is that Jewish immigrants would not be on welfare, but would contribute positively to any country they enter. They certainly would not be leaving bombs at marathons.

As for the Japanese: they respect and honor Jews. Yes there are anti-Semites in Japan, as in all countries, but consider this: Japan's highest private award for human achievement, the Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology has been won 30% of the time by Jews, the largest, single ethnic/religious group to do so. An astounding statistic considering there are fewer than 2,000 Jews in Japan.

The Jewish Federations of North America informs us that "Jews in Japan are more likely to experience philo-Semitism, with magazine articles expressing admiration for Jewish talent, intelligence and success."

More remarkably and less known is that during the 1930s and -40s, despite Japan's alliance with Nazi Germany, Japan became one of the world's only countries where Jews could find refuge from the Holocaust.

No, Ahmed, there is no reason for a country to ban Jews from entering and tens of thousands of reasons to keep Muslims out:

ADDENDUM

There is also an email that has been going around for more than a year containing many of the same sentiments (and comments in red from blogger Bare Naked Islam debunking some of those sentiments):

Bare Naked Islam, 21 Sep 2012, BNI response to the viral email re: ‘Islam and Japan’
There is a popular email going around that reveals how difficult the Japanese make it for Islam to take hold in Japan. Having lived in Japan some time ago, I have a bit of personal insight to add. So before you consider packing up and running off to Japan, take note of the following:
Japan, a country keeping Islam at bay, Japan has put strict restrictions on Islam and ALL Muslims. (Japan puts strict restriction on ALL foreigners, period)

a) Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims. (Japan makes it exceeding difficult, if not nearly impossible, for any foreigner, Muslim or otherwise, to become a citizen)

b) In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims. (Rarely, if ever given to any other foreigners either)

c) There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan. (Not that I could find)

d) In the University of Japan, Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught. (There is no ‘University of Japan,’ but there are many universities in Japan, one of which I attended. Back then, Arabic was not taught at Waseda Univ, but I doubt that is the case today in every university)

e) One cannot import Koran published in Arabic language. (False)

f) According to data published by Japanese government, it has given temporary residency to only 2 lakhs Muslims, who need to follow the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and carry their religious rituals in their homes. (It is reported there are some 10,000+ Muslims in Japan, many are workers from Indonesia who have work visas and others are Japanese converts to Islam. Yes, all must follow Japanese laws)

g) Japan is the only country in the world that has a negligible number of embassies of Islamic countries. (Absolutely not true. See list here: Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs)

h) Japanese people are not attracted to Islam at all. (Wrong, considering there are many Japanese converts to Islam)

i) Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign companies. (Many are, but not all)

j) Even today visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or managers sent by foreign companies. (As stated before, working visas are hard to come by in Japan, but I am sure some have been issued to professionals listed above)

k) In the majority of companies, it is stated in their regulations that no Muslims should apply for a job. (Another point I find hard to believe)

l) The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are fundamentalist and even in the era of globalization, they are not willing to change their Muslim laws. (Japan changes its laws for no one, Muslim or otherwise. All must obey Japanese laws)

m) Muslims can not even think about getting a rented house in Japan. (Preposterous)

n) If anyone comes to know that his neighbor is a Muslim then the whole neighborhood stays alert. (I have no idea how they come up with this information. The Japanese as a whole are very welcoming and friendly to foreigners living there)

o) No one can start an Islamic cell or Arabic Madarsa in Japan (There are several mosques in Japan)

p) There is no personal (Sharia) law in Japan. (True)

q) If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim then she is considered an outcast forever. (In many Japanese families, a woman is an outcast for marrying any non-Japanese)

The Difference Between Muslims and Infidels in the UK

2013-06-12T04:13:19Z

In my article When is Too Many Muslims?, my readers learned that once Muslims reach 5% of the population of their host country they begin to exercise an inordinate influence on political, social and economic matters far in excess of their proportion of the population.

For example, in the UK Muslims comprise about 5% of the population and even with that small percentage we see that if the police have a choice between arresting Muslims for direct death threats or non-Muslim white youth for thought crimes they will pick on the white boys because there is less chance of the police getting injured or killed by whites.

Consider the photo above: it depicts an angry protester in London on February 3, 2006. Muslims were demonstrating against insulting cartoons published in the Danish press chanting slogans threatening more London bombings, praising the "magnificent" 9/11 hijackers and waving placards saying "Massacre those who insult Islam", "Europe you will pay" and "Europe you'll come crawling when Mujahideen come roaring".

Despite the obvious intent of these placards to incite violence and yes even murder, the police at the time did nothing. It wasn't until a month and a half later, after hundreds of complaints, a few of the demonstrators were finally arrested (1).

Shamefully however when it comes to white people, the police act quickly: two men have been arrested for allegedly making offensive comments on Twitter about the murder of a British soldier in Woolwich (2). So while Muslims make direct death threats in public with impunity, white people are not allowed to make comments on social media criticizing Muslims for actually murdering someone.

O once Great Britain, what has happened to you?

Notes

The Telegraph, 16 Mar 2006, Arrests over cartoon protests

Five men were arrested by police investigating inflammatory Muslim protests last month at the Danish embassy over cartoons which satirised the Prophet Mohammed.

All five were held on suspicion of inciting racial hatred and four of them on suspicion of incitement to murder.

One of those arrested on both grounds is Anjem Choudary, 38, the former UK head of Al-Muhajiroun, the radical Muslim group, and a close associate of Omar Bakri Mohammed, the Islamic cleric who is currently in Lebanon and barred from Britain.

Two men have been released on bail after their arrest for allegedly making offensive comments on Twitter about the murder of a British soldier in Woolwich.
Complaints were made to police about comments that appeared on the social networking website, which were of an allegedly racist or anti-religious nature.

The men, a 23-year-old and a 22-year-old, were held under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred.

Would You Hire any of These Freaks?

2013-06-11T00:36:42Z

Constant Reader B.W. sent me an email entitled "MOM, WHY CAN'T I GET A JOB?" He asked me, "Aren't you happy none of them is your child or a relative. Can you just imagine the geriatric population in 40 years?"

I do agree that some of these guys and gals will get weirder-looking over the years. Click on any panel for a larger view:

But if I had a choice between hiring one of these people and hiring a Muslim I would certainly never, ever choose to hire a Muslim. A tattooed, pierced, and grilled person is highly unlikely to demand that you change the way you do business to accommodate his or her beliefs. For example, Somali Muslims signed a contract with a meatpacking company that they would not have a problem working at a pork factory. Once they got the job they reneged on the agreement and complained that forcing them to sign it violated their religious beliefs. See my article 13 Things to Consider before Hiring for more examples of Muslims, once hired, refusing to do their jobs because something in the job offends them.

A weird person will not change his dressing habits on you. A Muslim woman, on the hand, will show up for job interviews without a hijab, and then when you hire her as a Hooters waitress, show up for work in a hijab - and there will be nothing you can legally do to get out of it.

Under U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission rules you must reasonably accommodate employees' sincerely held religious beliefs or practices unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on you. What, she can't bring a drink order wearing a veil?

As I pointed out in my article Do Not Hire Muslims, when Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed there were few Muslims living in America and we could not foresee the arrogance of Muslims who have no qualms taking jobs they cannot do. Until we change the law, Muslims will continue to demand that we change the way we do business in this country.

Muslim Converts - Before and After Mugshots

2013-06-09T13:57:00Z

Back in 2004 the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office in Oregon started a project called Faces of Meth in which mug shots of persons booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center more than once for methamphetamine use were documented. They then released images of the change in physical appearance over time due to the use of the drug in before and after photos.

In a moment we will discuss how this relates to Muslim converts, but first, consider the following mugshots (click on any image for larger view:

I know what you are thinking: for such a short period of time, the changes are rather startling.

However there is something that causes ever more dramatic changes but not just in appearance but in personality as well. It changes one from a normal human being into a vicious, vile, savage beast. Guessed what it is? It's Islam.

Consider Michael Adebolajo, a once smiling schoolboy who, after Islam was introduced into his bloodstream, became Abu Hamza (1), a hate-filled maniac (before-photo courtesy Allvoices:

I could fill this post with a thousand before and after photos of recent converts who have undergone Sudden-Jihad-Syndrome. So let me instead just mention a few examples: we recall that the attack last week on a French soldier (2) was by a recent convert to Islam.

Then there is recent Muslim convert Colleen Renee LaRose, aka JihadJane, who became a Muslim warrior swearing to become a martyr.

Can't carry liquids onto an airplane? You can thank Muslim convert Ibrahim Savant who was involved in the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot.

Some of my older readers may remember that Carlos the Jackal, the most famous terrorist of the 1970s, is a Muslim convert.

Then we have Muslim converts, and terrorists, José Padilla, Zachary Adam Chesser, Shoe Bomber Richard Reid, and on and on.

You never hear about recent converts to Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism suddenly plotting to blow up military recruiting centers (3), shopping malls (4), or subways and buses (5). But recent converts to Islam seem to go in that direction. Must be something in the religion.

13 Reasons Women Should Not Wear a Burqa

2013-06-07T04:35:13Z

In response to my article Muslim Bitch Imane Boudlal Sues Disney over Hijab, reader yasmin from Cairo, Egypt left the following comment:

how could wearing a hijab be harmful? it's just her lifestyle and people have to accept and by that article you're being a religion racist. you're no one to judge people for their believes!

So for poor deluded yasmin, who thinks there's nothing wrong or harmful in wearing a hijab, I offer the following 13 reasons women should not wear a hijab or burqa.

It can be deadly while cooking.
A few months ago a Muslim woman died in her kitchen after her hijab caught fire on a gas cooker (1). It was the third time her scarf had caught fire while cooking in two years. I suppose it's true: the third time's a harm.

Anyway, why was this woman wearing a headscarf inside her home?

You cannot Enter places where your identity is masked.

Banks are now realizing what a security threat it is to allow anyone to enter a bank wearing a burqa.

Similarly entering a courthouse wearing one is now rightly deemed a security problem (2). If they allow hijabs in courtrooms, otherwise dangerous well-known criminals will use that method to get close to judges for vengeance.

It Causes Traffic Accidents.

One of the reasons that Saudi Arabia does not allow women to drive is that driving a car is not safe with the face veiled. Since a woman cannot remove her veil in public, allowing woman to drive would lead to accidents. Which of course is true.

If women in Saudi Arabia want to get the right to drive, they first have to get the right to be in public without covering their face and obscuring their vision. It will also help if their hearing isn't muffled so they can hear if an emergency vehicle is coming from another direction.

You May Be Spat upon Because You look Like our Enemy.

We are at war with Islam. Why are you wearing the symbols that identify you as a Muslim? I do not condone spitting on or abusing Muslim women because they are wearing a veil, as stupid as doing that may be, but one must realize that some people will be antagonized to violence (3) by the sight of Muslim garb because of Islamic attacks against us.

What would you say to a person who dons a KKK cloak, takes a walk in Harlem, and subsequently gets his ass kicked? Tell the truth, would you say there is no justification for black youths to be so offended as to injure such a person or would you rightly say, "What an idiot - he shouldn't be wearing clothing that he knows is offensive."

Muslim men are to blame. A Muslim husband, if he loved his wife or daughter should be telling her that for her safety, she should go out in public without a veil so as not to draw attention to herself.

In the coming years there will be more and more Muslim attacks and things will only become much worse for hijab-wearing women in western countries. To be safe you should wear clothing according to the norms of the society you live in.

It Causes Migraines.

National Post, Afsun Qureshi: Six secular reasons to ban the burka
One of my hijab-wearing friends always sported a permanent scowl and pinched face. When she took it off, I complimented her on her youthful and beautiful looks: “Nah, I’m the same — just pain free. No matter how tightly or how loosely I tied it, it always gave me a headache."

It Makes You Fat.

By never needing to get into fitted clothes or be worried how you look to others, it's easy to gain a lot of weight (4).

Communication is Degraded.

It's hard for a veiled woman to hear anything (5) and difficult for others to hear what you say.

Veiled Women are more likely to have vitamin D deficiency.

Many studies indicate that as many as 90% of Muslim women who wear burqas and veils suffer from severe and chronic vitamin D deficiency (6).

This is what happens when wearing religious garb is considered more important than health.

Wearing the Veil Actually Invites Sexual Harassment.

Although veiled women like to tout the nonsense that dressing modestly discourages attention from males, the truth is that it increases attention from males wondering what's underneath the hood. See my article The Myth that Veiling Protects Women from Assault.

It Causes Heat Stroke.

Intelligent people know that the skin needs to breathe (7) but Muslim women, as most Muslims, are less intelligent than non-Muslims, do not know this. What kind of moron goes out in the hot sun with her body completely covered from head to toe?

It is Deadly at Theme Parks

In 2010, a young Muslim mother was strangled to death at an Australian amusement park when her hijab got tangled in a go-kart wheel.

The woman was warned not to wear the headdress but because the park owners were afraid to insult Muslims, they declined to insist on the matter. This is what happens when wearing religious garb is cosidered more important than safety.

Burqas Keep women from Reaching Full Potential in Sports.

As I wrote in my article Difference between Islamic and Infidel Sport Stars, the only way Muslim women can be truly good at sports is to remove their hijabs.

It is a Symbol of Your Oppression.

There are clueless young people in our society who sport Che Guevara tee-shirts completely oblivious to the fact that their revolutionary hero was a brutal, vicious, vile, evil murderer responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of poor souls.

In a similar manner there are clueless Muslim women who are wholly unaware that wearing a hijab is a method which Muslim men use to subjugate their women.

This has been a Thursday 13 post [# 87] and is updated on some Thursdays.

a Muslim woman was jailed today following a dispute over whether she could enter the courtroom while wearing her hijab.
According to the woman's husband, she was seeking to enter the courtroom in Douglasville, Ga., to deal with a matter related to a nephew's traffic citation. After she walked through the security area, a bailiff allegedly told her she would not be permitted to enter the courtroom wearing her religiously mandated scarf. Frustrated at being prevented from entering the court, the woman reportedly uttered an expletive and sought to leave the area. As she attempted to leave, the bailiff reportedly handcuffed her and took her to the judge's chambers where she was sentenced to 10 days in jail for "contempt."

Mail Online, Women in hijabs 'need sunlight or risk illness'
Muslim women who wear the hijab are at risk of serious illness because they do not get enough sun, doctors have warned.
They said an alarming number of women who cover their skin are suffering bone deficiencies over a lack of vitamin D.

Most of the body's vitamin D - which prevents rickets - is obtained through sunlight acting on the skin. Only a little comes from food.

Doctors told a London conference today that people with dark pigment are at risk because of "cultural reasons" and because they are less efficient at producing the vitamin.

The bone disorder rickets has now broken out in young Muslim children as babies are not getting enough calcium from mothers' breast milk.

...

"Studies have shown low vitamin D levels in Asian women [Brits use the word Asian to designate Muslims from Pakistan and India - Bernie] in the UK - particularly among those who cover most of their skin for cultural reasons."

The problem first came to light in Bradford, which has one of the highest Muslim populations in Britain.

Community leaders and doctors will today warn a conference in Acton that women in London are also in danger of passing vitamin deficiencies to their children. The Department of Health project - called Healthy Start - comes after studies show Muslim children lack vitamin D.

Furthermore, the color of choice in covering up women because of "religious" purposes is often black and sometimes blue, undoubtedly creating much sweltering and heat stroke in the very hot regions in which this clothing is traditionally worn.

The Snake Who Ate the Little Girl

2013-06-05T01:20:23Z

Constant reader M.H. sent me the following email about the dangers of bringing a large python into your home. The story, like many so many Internet emails, is false. Snopes tells us that snakes do not measure their victims before eating them.

Here's the story:

I'd be the first to admit that this sounds like one of those internet horror storys that always happen to a friend of a friend of a friend of... The person that told me says it was her sister.

The sister has a pet python which stopped eating. After a while she got concerned and took it to the vet who could find nothing wrong. He wasn't worried and explained that snakes like this can go quite some time without eating and suggested she take it back home, keep a close eye on it and if it still wasn't eating in a week or two to bring it back in again.

So Tuesday of this week she goes back to the vet who can still find nothing wrong and asks if there has been any unusual behavour. She says no. The only thing odd was that a couple of night ago she woke up to find the snake on the bed beside her. She just picked him up and put him back in his tank. Wondering if the snake was seeking warmth he asks if it was curled up on the bed. The girl says "No, that's what was odd. He was lying straight, up and down the bed."

"Oh." says the vet. "I'm afraid he'll have to be put down."

"Why? What's wrong with him?" my friend's sister asks.

"There's nothing wrong with him." The vet says. "He's just starving himself in preparation for a big meal. It's perfectly normal."

Confused she asks why he has to be put down.

"That night, on the bed."

"Yes?"

"He was measuring you!"

Although this story is not true, that does not mean pythons are not dangerous:

ABC News, Florida Couple Sentenced to 12 Years in Python Strangling of Daughter
Florida python owners Jaren Hare and her boyfriend Charles Darnell were each sentenced to 12 years in prison today because the snake escaped from its cage and strangled Hare's 2-year-old daughter.

Hare, 21, and Darnell, 34, were convicted last month of third degree murder, manslaughter and child neglect.

The little girl, Shaianna, was killed two years ago when the couple's pet Burmese python escaped from its enclosure and strangled the girl in her crib. The snake's tank was only equipped with a quilt for a lid.

A medical examiner testified during the trial that the albino snake named Gypsy was underweight and trying to eat the girl. The snake hadn't been fed for a month when the girl died and was severely underweight at only 13 pounds, the Orlando Sentinel reported. The snake should have weighed nearly 150 pounds, the Sentinel reported.

This is what happens when you bring dangerous creatures into your home and do not supervise them properly. About 11 years ago we allowed two dangerous creatures into our country. We fed them, we clothed them, we gave them scholarships. Then during the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013 the Chechen brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev repaid our kindness by killing and injuring fellow Americans.

The Difference Between Jewish and Muslim Immigrants

In response to my article Suspend Muslim Immigration, Muslim Military service, and Building of Mosques, Nadya, a reader from Indonesia, asked me in an email: "How would you like it if America banned Jews from coming to America?"

Rather than responding back by email, let me explain to you, Nadya, my clueless, deluded Muslim woman, why it would be wrong to ban Jews from coming to America (and why it would be right to ban Muslims):

Without Jews, America would have had 115 fewer Nobel Laureates (or 36% fewer). Without Muslims, America would have had only 1 less Nobel Laureate.

Without Jews, there would have been 40% fewer scientists in the membership of the divisions of physics and applied physical sciences of the US National Academy of Sciences (see my article what are Jews Good For in Science and Discovery?). Without Muslims, scientific life would go on the same.

Without Jews, America would have had 50% fewer songs, musicals, plays, films, and entertainment (see my article What Are Jews Good For?). Without Muslims - we would still have the same music, films, and entertainment.

Without Jews, not just America, but the world would be suffering even more from Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Heart Disease, Headaches, Typhus, Diabetes, Mental Disorders, Polio, Convulsions and Tuberculosis and a thousand other diseases cured or made more manageable by the medical beneficence of the Jews (see my article Avoiding Jewish Products May Kill You). As for Muslims, the followers of Islam have done nothing in medicine for the past 800 years.

The largest ethnic group in New York City is Jews, and yet with millions of Jews, pork has not been banned in the city's schools, museums are not afraid to even display anti-Jewish art (1) without fear of being fire-bombed by Jewish extremists, Jewish cabbies do not refuse to pick up non-Kosher fares, Jews do not apply for jobs that conflict with their religion and then make unreasonable demands.

Without Jews there would be no Google, no Barbie doll, no Polaroid camera, no Starbucks, no Facebook, no bluejeans, no hundreds of thousands of businesses that have made America the greatest economic powerhouse in the universe. Without Muslims, what have we missed?

Without Jews we would not have Spider-Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and many other fictional characters. Comic book characters created by Muslims? Well, there are the 99, but those superheroes are based on Islamic culture and society, not on American culture and society. Of course the greatest fictional character created by Muslims is a Holy Man called Mohammed loosely based on the life of a real savage, brutal, neck-slicing, child-molesting, caravan-raiding, Jew-murdering thug.

I could give many, many more examples of how Jews have made tens of thousands of valuable contributions to America without asking Americans to change their way of life.

There are many non-Muslim immigrant groups who have also contributed greatly to America. Immigrants who accept the American way of life, who assimilate, who integrate, who learn our language, who revel in the joy of being an American, those immigrants should be warmly welcomed to our shores. Muslims (and anyone else) who believe their way of life is superior, who want to change our culture, who demand to be ruled under Sharia law (2), who refuse to assimilate, those groups should not be allowed into this country.

Judaism is actually a part of our Judeo-Christian way of life here in America. Islam, on the other hand, is incompatible with a free society. It would be a mistake to ban Jews, and the safe thing to ban Muslims - that is the difference between Jewish and Muslim Immigrants.

Got it, Nadya?

NY Times, Preserving Artifacts of Anti-Semitism
Peter Ehrenthal, a Judaica dealer in Manhattan, has assembled about 600 anti-Semitic artifacts ranging from somewhat jokey to appalling. On Jan. 5 a third of his collection will go on view at the Wolfson Museum of Jewish Art in Jerusalem in a yearlong show, “The Eternal Jew: Objects of Hatred From the Peter Ehrenthal Collection.”
Mr. Ehrenthal, 91, who runs Moriah Galleries on Fifth Avenue, is a Jewish dentist’s son from Romania who lost much of his family during the Holocaust. He said he spent tens of thousands of dollars for some anti-Semitic works. Although he concentrates on pre-World War II material, some items in his collection date to the 15th century. Nineteenth-century peddler statuettes are mildly unflattering, while the posters with graphic accusations of theft and murder can be sickening.

...

In the collection’s Americana contingent, a matchbook promotes lakefront “restricted camps” that excluded Jews. A Life magazine illustration by the cartoonist Harrison Cady shows tiny Jews tying up a Gulliver representing New York society, with ribbons labeled “real estate,” “jewelry” and “haberdashery.”

Peter Ehrenthal and his son Michael, a co-owner of the gallery, have not decided what to do with the collection after the Israel exhibition, but hope to find a museum willing to keep it together. They have a few objects on view at the gallery: a German tankard depicts soldiers banishing Jews to Palestine, and in a bronze relief a Jew begs for mercy at a customs post.

During previews at the Wolfson Museum, older visitors have come away shaken, said the curator, Nurit Sirkis Bank. “They are offended, they have tears in their eyes,” she said. “But they say it is so important to exhibit this material.”

Sharia in New Jersey: Muslim husband rapes wife, judge sees no sexual assault because Islam forbids wives to refuse sex
...

And now a New Jersey judge sees no evidence that a Muslim committed sexual assault of his wife -- not because he didn't do it, but because he was acting on his Islamic beliefs: "This court does not feel that, under the circumstances, that this defendant had a criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault or to sexually contact the plaintiff when he did. The court believes that he was operating under his belief that it is, as the husband, his desire to have sex when and whether he wanted to, was something that was consistent with his practices and it was something that was not prohibited."

Most American Muslims are Not Terrorists Yet are Still a Threat

I came across this nonsense from a news website (1) in Tennessee: Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, will be a speaker at a special meeting this coming Tuesday for the "purpose of increasing awareness and understanding that American Muslims are not the terrorists some have made them out to be in social media and other circles."

The same can be said of the members of the American Nazi Party, the majority of whom have never committed any terrorist acts, yet no U.S. attorney would be stupid enough to be a speaker at an event defending white supremacists. Luckily for us, membership in neo-Nazi groups is quite low, for example, the largest group, The National Socialist Movement, has only about 400 members [Wikipedia].

However, if the world were filled with a billion and a half neo-Nazis, I am certain that most Americans would not be sleeping peacefully. The reason that there are so few neo-Nazis is that we rightly condemn and stigmatize people who think the way they do. WWII taught everyone the dangers of any supremacist ideology and so we recognize the threat that such ideology poses to a free society. I believe it will take WWIII to likewise teach clueless Americans and Europeans the threat that Islam poses to western civilization.

At that meeting, Herr Killian intends to put a chill into criticizing Muslims online:

Killian and Moore will provide input on how civil rights can be violated by those who post inflammatory documents targeted at Muslims on social media.

“This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,” Killian told The News Monday. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”

...

Killian said Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction.

That's an ominous warning. Blogs like mine, articles like this one, can violate civil rights and be subject to federal jurisdiction? I wonder if this another example of the Obama administration pushing our government to defend Islam and ignore the Muslim threat as was done in the Pentagon’s 84-page report on the Ft Hood massacre where all references using words like Jihad or Muslim were expunged. Even the phrase "Islamic extremism" is only mentioned in a small footnote; see my article A Muslim in Plain Sight.

We live in perilous times with a traitorous President ensuring that the Muslim threat is hidden from a clueless populace.

Hillary And Obama - Neither Bozo Answered That 3 AM Call

2013-05-30T18:10:58Z

YouTube, Hillary Clinton Ad - 3 AM White House Ringing Phone

In 2008 Hillary Clinton ran an ad suggesting that she would be the right person to handle an international crisis: "it’s 3 A.M. and your children are safe and asleep. But, there’s a phone in the White House, and it’s ringing. Something’s happening in the world. … Who do you want answering the phone?"

So what happened when the call came from Benghazi? Well neither Bozo, not Obama, nor Hillary, answered that call.

The scandal is not that these two morons misjudged what happened that night, the scandal is that within minutes both of them knew that the attack was a terrorist attack and instead of telling the American public the truth, which might have adversely impacted the Obama election campaign, a decision was made to spread disinformation, to blame the attack on an anti-Muslim film which none of the attackers saw or heard about.

I don't know what is more outrageous, that we have an idiot like Obama as President and a Secretary of State like Hillary or that most of the American public is clueless about Benghazi.

The White House that night:

Obama: "Hillary, can you get that?"
Hillary: "No way - you."

The Difference Between Timothy McVeigh and Muslim Terrorists

2013-05-30T04:30:26Z

In response to my article When a Dog Bites We Do Not Look For Motive - Why The Boston Marathon Bombings Happened, a visitor from San Diego left a comment implying that there wasn't any difference between Muslim terrorists and domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh.

Actually there is a difference:

No one danced in the streets when McVeigh blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. There are not millions of like-minded people willing to support, fund, aid, and encourage whacko domestic terrorists to make similar attacks. Except for those directly injured, no one had to change the way they live, no one had to report hours earlier to an airport, no one at a ballgame, marathon, or any other public gathering worries about white supremacists blowing them up.

McVeigh was brought up Catholic but you did not see masses of Catholics supporting his actions.

On the other hand, 6 years later on 9/11 there were Muslims dancing in the streets, there were millions of like-minded people willing to support, fund, aid, and encourage Muslim terrorists to make similar attacks (1). Even those not directly injured in the attacks have had their way of life significantly changed and unless you're a liberal with your head completely stuck in your ass, whenever you go to a ballgame, marathon, or any other public gathering you should be worrying about Muslims suddenly going Jihad.

Some of my readers will protest that Muslims believe violence is only justified in those cases where Americans have killed or attacked Muslims. Actually Muslims believe violence is justified even when they are simply being offended (2).

And the most important difference between Timothy McVeigh and Muslims is that McVeigh types are extremely rare while Muslims, sadly, not so rare. Soon Muslims in this country will be as numerous as a plague of locusts. It would certainly be a safer world if we could trade all the Muslims in the world for a few dozen McVeighs.

But here's my biggest worry - the domestic terrorist that is the greatest threat to this country:

Obama Thugs Targeted Right Wing Company Gibson Guitar

2013-05-29T03:18:52Z

We know that Obama is a corrupt, Chicago-style politician bent on destroying all his enemies. It isn't just using the IRS to deny tax-exempt status to conservative groups (1) so that fund raising against Obama in the last election became much more difficult; there was also the EPA treating conservative groups shabbily in regard to granting requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act (2); even conservative reporters have been targeted as enemies (3).

Has this man no shame?

I have no doubt that eventually we will discover that this type of behavior has been pervasive throughout every agency of government since he became President. Based on these recent revelations, something that happened two years ago now makes perfect sense:

Investors.com, 23 May 2013, Now The Gibson Guitar Raids Make Sense
IRS Scandal: The inexplicable raid nearly two years ago on a guitar maker for using allegedly illegal wood that its competitors also used was another targeting by this administration of its political enemies.
On Aug. 24, 2011, federal agents executed four search warrants on Gibson Guitar Corp. facilities in Nashville and Memphis, Tenn., and seized several pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. One of the top makers of acoustic and electric guitars, including the iconic Les Paul introduced in 1952, Gibson was accused of using wood illegally obtained in violation of the century-old Lacey Act, which outlaws trafficking in flora and fauna the harvesting of which had broken foreign laws.

In one raid, the feds hauled away ebony fingerboards, alleging they violated Madagascar law. Gibson responded by obtaining the sworn word of the African island's government that no law had been broken.

In another raid, the feds found materials imported from India, claiming they too moved across the globe in violation of Indian law. Gibson's response was that the feds had simply misinterpreted Indian law.

Interestingly, one of Gibson's leading competitors is C.F. Martin & Co. According to C.F. Martin's catalog, several of their guitars contain "East Indian Rosewood," which is the exact same wood in at least 10 of Gibson's guitars. So why were they not also raided and their inventory of foreign wood seized?

Grossly underreported at the time was the fact that Gibson's chief executive, Henry Juszkiewicz, contributed to Republican politicians. Recent donations have included $2,000 to Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and $1,500 to Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.

By contrast, Chris Martin IV, the Martin & Co. CEO, is a long-time Democratic supporter, with $35,400 in contributions to Democratic candidates and the Democratic National Committee over the past couple of election cycles.

"We feel that Gibson was inappropriately targeted," Juszkiewicz said at the time, adding the matter "could have been addressed with a simple contact (from) a caring human being representing the government. Instead, the government used violent and hostile means."

That includes what Gibson described as "two hostile raids on its factories by agents carrying weapons and attired in SWAT gear where employees were forced out of the premises, production was shut down, goods were seized as contraband and threats were made that would have forced the business to close."

Gibson, fearing a bankrupting legal battle, settled and agreed to pay a $300,000 penalty to the U.S. Government. It also agreed to make a "community service payment" of $50,000 to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation — to be used on research projects or tree-conservation activities.

It's sad that Obama doesn't deploy his skills and the energies of his government against America's greatest enemy: Islam. But he is not out to destroy Islam.

HuffPost, 28 May 2013, IRS Scandal Letters: Other Offices Sent Requests To Target Tea Party Groups, NBC News Reports
More evidence has emerged that the IRS' targeting of conservative groups extended beyond a few agents in a single city.
Back on May 14, a 48-page report by the IRS Inspector General cited that a few lower-level staff members from the Cincinnati office
were responsible for the Tea Party flap, acting in an insubordinate fashion.

Two weeks later, the scope of questions surrounding the case continues to evolve beyond that one place. NBC News reported Thursday that letters show requests about conservative groups were made by other IRS locations.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 27 May 2013, Press gang: Fox reporter is the latest to have his work targeted
It is no secret that President Barack Obama has little use for the media or respect for its practitioners. So is it any wonder that Mr. Obama gave Eric Holder, a man with even less regard for the press than his boss, a mandate to direct the Department of Justice to crack down on leaks in general and journalists in particular?
Earlier this month, Washington erupted with the news that the Justice Department monitored 20 phone lines belonging to The Associated Press in an attempt to uncover the identity of a government source the Obama administration insisted endangered national security. The administration leans on the Espionage Act of 1917 for its rationale.

As many as 100 AP reporters and their sources may have been compromised as a result of the government's unhindered access to several weeks' worth of phone records. There was no prior warning by the government that gave the AP a chance to appeal such an extreme fishing expedition.
