Ahmadinejad Waits for the Appearance of the Great Pumpkin

Great pumpkin, mahdi its all the same both are fictional beings. It seems islam shortest mouthpiece is also a believer of fairy tales. Well dude, I’ll top your mahdi with American made high explosive, high velocity mahdi killers any ol day. Stick that in the ol hookah shortie.

8 May, 2008, Kul al-Arab [Arabic daily in Israel]
A number of leading Iranian clerics criticized President Ahmadinejad for declaring that the hands of the Mahdi [the 12th missing savior in the Shi’a religion whose emergence, after 12 centuries of hiding, will bring peace and justice to the world] “are visibly seen in directing the affairs of the state.” He said the American occupiers in Iraq were intent on stealing the oil treasures of the country but they have realized that “a hand will rise and will eliminate the roots of oppression in the world,” a reference to the hand of the Mahdi.

One cleric, Gholam Riza Mesbahi, said that if Ahmadinejad would say that the Mahdi’s hands support the regime, then this is not true because the awaited Mahdi would not approve of 20% inflation, as well as other mistakes made by the regime. A representative of Hizbullah in Parliament, Hujat al-Islam Ali Asghari, said it would be better for Ahmadinejad to pay attention to “social problems such as inflation and focus on temporal affairs.”
-They are right, Iran needs a real leader focused on real internal problems, not a short dicked criminal with a Napoleon complex.

Ahmadinejad hinted about the reappearance of the Mahdi soon by calling on Iran to clear the deck as soon as possible “before we are confronted by time.” He added: “The time has come when Iran will be the center of world leadership, Allah willing.” Ahmadinejad believes that the Islamic revolution and the emergence of Iran as a nuclear power are “miracles” of the Mahdi.
-The time has come for us to yawn and push the little red button.

AGAINST UNARMED REPATRIATION

Tags: , ,

Every time we do an immigration piece we get crybabies and apologists. We get called names and sometimes we get threatened. I cross-posted this even though I do not agree with it because comparatively I am a moderate.

CROSS-POSTED FROM: AMERICAN DIGEST 9 MAY, 2008.
THE HORNS OF OUR ILLEGAL ALIEN DILEMMA ARE SIMPLE TO STATE. THOSE WHO OPPOSE THE ILLEGALS AMONG US INSIST THAT THE BULK OF THEM, BEING MEXICAN, BE DEPORTED FORTHWITH FROM THE SOIL OF THE UNITED STATES. THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE DE FACTO PRESENCE OF THESE 17 MILLION HUMAN BEINGS ASSERT THAT IT IS NOT ONLY IMMORAL BUT SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPORT SUCH A NUMBER. BOTH THESE PROPOSITIONS SEEM A BIT EXTREME TO ME AS WELL AS UNIMAGINATIVE. APPLYING A BIT OF IMAGINATION TO THIS CLEFSTICK YIELDS AN ACCEPTABLE COMPROMISE.

While it is clear that allowing 17 million residents to break the law is unacceptable if you wish to continue a society based upon the law, it is also clear that sending anybody back into the global chancre that is Mexico against their will is immoral. Sending anybody to Mexico forcibly should be reserved as a punishment in our penal system, and not seen as a part of our immigration policy.

Indeed, most of the illegal and legal people of Mexican descent among us are here because their were both astute enough to see Mexico as it is, and resourceful enough to get the hell out of there. For the most part we benefit by receiving the cream of the Mexican gene pool any way we can get them. I present the wide availability of a decent mole sauce as exhibits a, b, and c. But still, the law is the law.

Hence the problem becomes how to send 17 million Mexicans back to Mexico in a moral and humane fashion. (while keeping our strategic reserve of mole sauce high at the same time.)

Please do not tell me “it can’t be done.” It can of course be done. True, it will not be done overnight by clicking the heels of the ruby shoes of the deportation fairy and saying, “for 17 million of you there’s no place like home.” Nope. They got here in dribs and dabs, and back they shall go the same way. The underutilized greyhound buses that are still networked throughout the lower 48 states will serve well for this purpose as well as giving a much needed boost to greyhound’s stock.

Getting the illegals back to Mexico will be a simple matter of rounding them up and getting them to the bus on time. The shuttling of the Mexicans to the border and beyond will take some time, but with half the energy the government devotes to scanning your ass at the airport, it can be accomplished in about 18 months tops once the system gets rolling. Do the math. It breaks down to about 31,000 one-way border deliveries a day. Well within the core competency of greyhound.

Of course, the real problem of this is that, as alluded to above, sending anyone to Mexico against their will is immoral. Unless, of course, they are armed. Then it is not only moral but beneficial to humanity in general. For this i will suggest handing out, to our deportees as they depart, not only a little spending money but some critical “democracy tools” from “the unwelcome wagon of the usa” along with a breakfast burrito and a pepsi.

Celebrating and Protesting Israel’s Birth: From Jerusalem to the Sidewalks of New York

Chesler Chronicles

(Written with the help of Fern Sidman)

As a child, my mother took me to  the Radio City Music Hall to see the dazzling, long-limbed Rockettes dance. For decades, the Music Hall symbolized glitzy entertainment, New York style. Radio City was also where I went when I was interviewed on NBC and when I dined at the Big Band-era Rainbow Room, a 65th floor precursor to and survivor of the World Trade Center’s Windows on the World. The Rainbow Room also has windows that look out onto the immediate world.

On Wednesday evening, May 7th, Jews around the world celebrated the  miraculous 60th anniversary of the birth of Israel as a modern state. In New York City,  an historic extravaganza took place at Radio City Music Hall.  An attempt to Palestinianize this Art Deco palace also took place.  It failed, it did not interrupt the considerable joy within but still, the Haters are everywhere, there is no event they do not picket.

Wherever one turns, one finds the same monotonous anti-Israeli, anti-American, and pro-Palestinian propaganda. It has invaded our air waves, our campuses, and the entire global internet. Complex realities and wrenching truths have been reduced to lying, paranoid hate speech which wraps itself in the righteous garments of “oppression” and “liberation.” On the march, its face is raging and hateful.

In Israel, its Arab citizens attended a mass rally and march to mark the 60th anniversary of “the Naqba” (Catastrophe). According to Ynet, Violence flared up when the Palestinian organizers failed to control their own demonstrators who repeatedly clashed with Israeli police and civilians. Five Israeli police were injured. A group of peaceful, young Israeli members who belong to the volunteer group,”If You Will,” raised an Israeli flag at a picnic-in their own country, as they celebrated their Independence. The Arab demonstrators demanded that they lower the flag. Arguments broke out. Violence ensued.

Iran Says April 12 Blast at Shiraz Mosque Was Terrorism
NYT

TEHRAN — Authorities said Thursday that a previously reported explosion in the southern city of Shiraz on April 12 that left 14 people dead and more than 200 injured was terrorist sabotage and that the United States and Britain had links to the group responsible.

Intelligence Minister Gholam Hossein Ejei told reporters that six people involved in the attack had been arrested and their links with foreign countries had been confirmed, Fars news agency reported.

“This group had links with the United States and Britain,” Mr. Ejei was quoted as saying. “We had already informed these countries through the Foreign Ministry but they did not stop their terrorist moves and continued to support them,” he added.

Scotland Plans a “Muslim Police Association”

Posted 9 May, 2008 by Doctor Bulldog
Categories: Religion, Uncategorized

Gee, I wonder why they haven’t proposed a Christian Police Association… Could it be because Christians tend to meld into society a little more respectfully…

Muslim Police Association proposed

The Press Association
9MAY08

Plans are under way to create Scotland’s first Muslim Police Association.

The group, spearheaded by Strathclyde Police, would aim to encourage more Muslims to join the force, to improve understanding of the faith and to tackle Islamophobia.

It is hoped the organisation would encourage Muslims to stay in the police force once they have joined.

————————————-

UPDATE:  More info on this development from IRNA:

Strathclyde Police Friday welcomed the creation of Scotland’s first Muslim Police Association, which is aimed to tackle the rise of Islamophobia.

“The formation of the Muslim Police Association is a positive step,” said the chief constable of Scotland’s biggest police force, Steve House.

“These are officers who are positive about seeing the police force as a career and want to use their association to reach out to Muslims,” House said.

The formation follows the creation of a Muslim Police Association in England, which has been reported to quite successful, not only within the Muslim community, but also with tackling institutional Islamophobia within their own police forces.

The formation of the association in Scotland comes despite their only being around 31 Muslim officers in Strathclyde’s 7,000 strong force, which is based around Glasgow, and some 30,000 Muslims living in the region that make up a mere 1.5 per cent of the population.

Police constable Amar Shakoor, Scotland’s first Muslim officer, said there had been recent negativity directed towards the Muslim community, which is being treated with suspicion and increased scrutiny.

The association wanted “to highlight some of the positive things Islam can provide to the communities and not just the police services,” Shakoor was quoted saying by the BBC.

He also suggested it would help to recruit more Muslim officers.

U.S. STILL #1 Donor to World Food Program; Muslim Nations Miserly…

A Gulf in Giving: Oil-Rich States Starve the World Food Program
Fox News
Friday, May 09, 2008
By George Russel

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and his top lieutenants on Monday are convening the first meeting of the U.N.’s Task Force on the Global Food Crisis. Ban says it will “study the root causes of the crisis,” and propose solutions for “coordinated global action” at a summit of world leaders in June.

Ban might want to consider convincing the oil-rich nations of the Middle East to provide more than the near-invisible amount of money they currently give to the World Food Program (WFP), the U.N.’s food-giving arm, which is charged with alleviating the food crisis.

WFP internal documents show that the major oil producing nations of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) gives almost nothing to the food organization, even as skyrocketing oil prices and swollen oil revenues contribute to the very crisis that the U.N. claims could soon add 100 million more people to the world’s starving masses.

The overwhelming bulk of the burden in feeding the world’s starving poor remains with the United States and a small group of other predominately Western nations, a situation that the WFP has done little so far to change, even as it has asked for another $775 million in donations to ease the crisis.

Donor listings on WFP’s website show that this year, as in every year since 1999, the U.S. is far and away the biggest aid provider to WFP. Since 2001, U.S. donations to the food agency have averaged more than $1.16 billion annually — or more than five times as much as the next biggest donor, the European Commission.

This year, the U.S. had contributed $362.7 million to WFP just through May 4, according to the website. That figure does not include another $250 million above the planned yearly contribution that was promised by President George W. Bush in the wake of WFP’s April warning that a “silent tsunami” of rising food costs would add dramatically to the world population living in hunger. Nor does it include another $770 million in food aid that President Bush has asked Congress to provide as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia, with oil revenues last year of $164 billion, does not even appear on the website donor list for 2008.

Click here to see the 2008 donor list.

And while Canada, Australia, Western Europe and Japan have hastened to pony up an additional $260 million in aid since WFP’s latest appeal, the world organization told FOX News, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the international oil cartel, tossed in a grand total of $1.5 million in addition to the $50,000 it had previously donated.

The OPEC total amounts to roughly one minute and 10 seconds worth of the organization’s estimated $674 billion in annual oil revenues in 2007 — revenues that will be vastly exceeded in 2008 with the continuing spiral in world oil prices.

The only other major oil exporter who made the WFP list of 2008 donors was the United Arab Emirates, which kicked in $50,000. UAE oil revenues in 2007 were $63 billion.

By contrast, the poverty-stricken African republic of Burkina Faso is listed as donating more than $600,000, and Bangladesh, perennial home of many of the world’s hungriest people, is listed as donating nearly $5.8 million.

U.S. military says man held is not Iraq al Qaeda leader

By Dean Yates and Waleed Ibrahim

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The leader of al Qaeda in Iraq is still being hunted, the U.S. military said on Friday, after Iraqi officials declared Abu Ayyub al-Masri had been caught in what is the latest episode of false claims about the militant.

The detention of Masri would have been another blow for al Qaeda, which has been forced to regroup in northern Iraq after a wave of U.S. military assaults in and around Baghdad.

Iraqi security sources had already begun to cast doubt on the earlier announcement that Masri, an Egyptian with a U.S. bounty of $5 million on his head, had been picked up in an operation in the northern city of Mosul on Wednesday.

One senior Iraqi security source in Mosul said the man caught in that raid was an Iraqi.

“He has not been detained,” a senior U.S. military official told Reuters, without giving further details.

It is not the first time there has been confusion over the fate of Masri. Iraq’s Interior Ministry said a year ago he had been killed, but soon afterwards Sunni Islamist al Qaeda released an audio tape purportedly from him.

Al Qaeda in Iraq was headed by the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi until he was killed in a U.S. air strike in June 2006. His successor, Masri, was Zarqawi’s close associate.

Earlier, Interior Ministry spokesman Major-General Abdul-Karim Khalaf said a detained associate of Masri took Iraqi security forces late on Wednesday to where the al Qaeda leader was apparently hiding.

Senior Iraqi security officials had earlier said a captured associate of Masri took Iraqi forces on Wednesday to where he was thought to be hiding. After being detained, the man said he was the al Qaeda in Iraq leader, who is also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, they said.

But the detained man just happened to share the name Abu Hamza, which in Arabic means father of Hamza. “Abu” is a common way for men who have children to be addressed in the Arab world.

Muslim’s bent on driving Christian expansion from northern Bangladesh Gang Rape Pastor’s 13 year old daughter

More muslim atrocities both on the part of the slime balls who hurt the child and the slime who attempted to hide it.

8 May, 2008, Compass Direct News
DHAKA, Bangladesh– Muslim villagers in Mymensingh district eager to rid the area of the Christian work of a local pastor have gang-raped his 13-year-old daughter, the girl’s father said.
Pastor Motilal Das of United Bethany Church said that at around 3 a.m. on Friday (May 2) the villagers sexually assaulted his daughter, Elina Das, and left her unconscious in front of his house in an attempt to drive him and his Christian ministry out of Laksmipur village in Fulbaria sub-district, 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of the capital.

Local residents have long been angry with him for his ministry and evangelism, he said, and he has received death threats.

“I did not pay attention to any of the threats or hindrances – I continued evangelical and pastoral activities with prayer,” Das told Compass. “They targeted me to evict from this area to stop the Christian activities. When nothing stopped me, then they wanted to leave me scarred for life, so that I would be upset and not be able to show my face to the society for shame, and therefore I would leave the village.”

Das, who became the first Christian in the area in 1986 and has been key in an increase to more than 250 Christians and the emergence of 12 churches, said the brutal attack was pre-planned and calculated to stop further expansion of Christianity in northern Bangladesh.
-Muslims are terrified of Christians as they know given a chance many millions of muslims would gladly leave the cult. We have seen similar stories everywhere you find muslims.

“Otherwise, why would they rape such a minor girl?” he said.
-Why indeed?

Elina Das is the only Christian student at her school, he said. “Always local boys used to tease her on her way to school,” he said, “and used to tell her filthy words against Christianity and western culture.”

Five villagers attacked her when she went from her thatched house to an outdoor latrine, said investigating officer Sanwar Hossen of Fulbaria police station.

“Five people lying in ambush in the pitch-dark near the toilet snatched her by gagging her mouth with her body scarf [and taking her] to a nearby tea stall, 400 meters from the house, where they gang-raped her,” Hossen said.

Besides the religious opposition of some residents, the officer said villagers had no personal or commercial conflicts with the Das family that could serve as a motive for the assault.

“There was no family vendetta or personal clash or enmity of Motilal with the local people for which his daughter would be raped,” Hossen said. “There was even no land dispute between him and the neighbors, because he does not have any land.”

Family members found Elina Das lying unconscious in front of the house that morning.

“When I woke up in the early morning, I saw my daughter lying unconscious in front of my house,” Das said. “ A few hours after the gang rape, they had left her in front of my house.” Read the rest of this post »

By PATRICK QUINN, 8 May, 2008, AP
BAGHDAD- The leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, was arrested in the northern city of Mosul, the Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman said Thursday.

Spokesman Mohammed al-Askari said the arrest of al-Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, was confirmed to him by the Iraqi commander of the province. There was no immediate confirmation or comment from U.S. forces on the arrest.

The U.S. military in Baghdad said “we are currently checking with Iraqi authorities to confirm the accuracy of this information.”

Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said that Mosul police “arrested one of al-Qaida’s leaders at midnight and during the primary investigations he admitted that he is Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir.”

News of the arrest was also reported by Iraqi state television and Arab satellite TV stations.

The state channel, Iraqiya, said that Minister of Interior Jawad al-Bolani would reward Mosul police for the capture.

Interior Ministry spokesman Khalaf told the station by phone that a source close to the al-Qaida leader informed Mosul police that al-Masri would be at a house in the city’s Wadi Hajar area at midnight Wednesday.

“The police raided this house and arrested him. During the primary investigation, he confessed that he is Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir, the leader of Al-Qaida in Iraq. Now a broader investigation of him is being conducted,” he said to Iraqiya. Read the rest of this post »

Muslim 9-1-1 dispatcher arrested for unauthorized access of government databases
May 8, 2008
by Douglas J. Hagmann, Director
Northeast Intelligence

The FBI charged Nadire ZELENAJ, a 9-1-1 dispatcher in Rochester, (Monroe County) New York with 232 counts of computer trespassing for unauthorized access of law enforcement sensitive databases containing information about terrorist suspects and related investigations. ZELENAJ, pictured at left, also allegedly accessed other secure databases containing proprietary data, including but not limited to New York State drivers license data.

According to information provided by sources exclusive to the Northeast Intelligence Network, ZELENAJ is part of a larger investigation involving at least ten-(10) others, some who are members of a local Islamic Center. Based on a law enforcement source close to he investigation and speaking on the strict condition of anonymity, the information obtained by ZELENAJ was obtained for a “specific purpose,” which was allegedly to “inform and assist area individuals with suspected ties to known terrorists or terrorist organizations.” According to media reports, ZELENAJ accessed the computer databases at least 232 times since 2006, but her activities reportedly span a much longer time period dating back to 2003.

Hired in 2002, her position as a 9-1-1 dispatcher enables her to access secured police databases, including those containing sensitive information on terrorism suspects and data of investigative value. Based on information provided to the Northeast Intelligence Network, other arrests related to ZELENAJ are likely. Investigation is also addressing how much damage to other investigations might have been caused by her unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data.

The law enforcement source confirmed that ZELENAJ “is Muslim with direct and tangential ties to the Muslim community.”

The Northeast Intelligence Network will continue to follow this matter closely.

Attackers slice ears off 17 people in Senegal
Thu May 8, 2008
By Diadie Ba

DAKAR (Reuters) - Unidentified attackers sliced the left ears off 17 people in Senegal’s restive southern province of Casamance, a region long plagued by separatist rebel violence, police in the West African country said on Thursday.

The victims were among a group picking cashew nuts next to the village of Tampe, on the border with Guinea-Bissau, when they were cornered by men armed with knives on Wednesday, paramilitary police spokesman Daouda Diop said.

“All 17 people got their left ears sliced off,” Diop told Reuters. “We rushed to the place where it happened but we did not find the attackers,” he said.

The attackers’ motives were unclear and the rebel Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance (MFDC) denied involvement.

Senegal is one of the most stable countries in West Africa but its southern Casamance region — once a tourist hotspot and the nation’s breadbasket — has been plagued by low-level rebel activity for more than two decades.

The MFDC has been fighting since 1982 for greater autonomy for the mainly Christian region, which they say has been neglected by the Muslim-led government in Dakar.

Illegal Immigrants Can Pick Lettuce, But They Can’t Pick Up Their Own Trash?

Groups Struggle to Clean Up Mess Illegal Immigrants Leave Behind
Fox News

The latest battle in the war on illegal immigration isn’t over the smuggling of undocumented workers, it’s over the trash they leave behind.

Government officials and border activists say the garbage dumped in the desert by illegal immigrants and their smugglers is staggering.

And the cleanup is costing taxpayers millions.

In 2006 alone, more than 1.18 million pounds of trash was collected along southern Arizona border, many in the meeting spots where immigrants rest, change clothes and wait to hitch a ride further north with a smuggler.

“You can find everything,” said Shela McFarlin, special assistant for international programs at the Arizona Bureau of Land Management. “Blankets, airline tickets, Bibles, wedding pictures, photos of children, school reports, because clearly people don’t tend to throw away everything they’ve brought with them — they’re forced to.”

Arizonia officials have spent approximately $4.4 million over five years to clean up the mess, that continues to build with each crossing. Nearly $1 million was spent for 2007 from a base BLM appropriation.

No crime checks for “airside” foreign workers
By Andrew Hough, LONDON (Reuters) 8/05/2008

Mirror.co.uk

The government insisted on Thursday there is no threat to security from foreign employees working “airside” at UK airports without having had their backgrounds checked for criminal convictions.

BBC 2’s “Newsnight” programme broadcast late on Wednesday, said it had discovered what it described as the “serious loophole” in the law regarding foreign workers.

For the past five years, criminal background checks have been required for all UK staff in restricted zones at airports.

About 200,000 people work airside in British airports, although it remains unclear how many are foreigners.

After originally saying it was too complex to check criminal records from abroad, the government later defended its procedures.

“The terrorist threat to aviation from airside workers is fundamentally addressed by physical security measures, for all staff, every day,” the Transport Department said in a statement.

Report: Conservatives Happier than Liberals

Posted 8 May, 2008 by Doctor Bulldog
Categories: Liberals

Yup, just confirming what we all suspected…  If you’ve ever read a Liberal’s rant, here on this website and others, then you have a pretty good idea of how miserable they truly are…

Why Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals
Fox News
By Jeanna Bryner

Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives rationalize social and economic inequalities.

Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found.

Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person’s tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.

The rationalization measure included statements such as: “It is not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in life than others,” and “This country would be better off if we worried less about how equal people are.”

To justify economic inequalities, a person could support the idea of meritocracy, in which people supposedly move up their economic status in society based on hard work and good performance.

In that way, one’s social class attainment, whether upper, middle or lower, would be perceived as totally fair and justified.

If your beliefs don’t justify gaps in status, you could be left frustrated and disheartened, according to the researchers, Jaime Napier and John Jost of New York University. They conducted both a U.S.-centric survey and a more internationally focused one to arrive at the findings.

“Our research suggests that inequality takes a greater psychological toll on liberals than on conservatives,” the researchers write in the June issue of the journal Psychological Science, “apparently because liberals lack ideological rationalizations that would help them frame inequality in a positive (or at least neutral) light.”

Suspected Illegal Immigrant Charged With Rape, Impregnating 10-Year-Old Girl
Thursday, May 08, 2008 - Fox News

ST. ANTHONY, Idaho —  A suspected illegal immigrant has been charged with raping a 10-year-old girl who later gave birth in eastern Idaho.

The girl gave birth less than two weeks ago by caesarian section at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg, Fremont County Sheriff Ralph C. Davis and other authorities said. Officials would not disclose the gender, date of birth or paternity of the baby.

“I wouldn’t have believed a 10-year-old could conceive in the first place,” Davis said.

A hospital spokeswoman would not discuss the condition of the girl or the baby and would not say whether either was still in the hospital Wednesday.

The story was first reported by KIDK Television in Idaho Falls.

St. Anthony police began investigating on April 28 after medical officials reported a pregnant child, and Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez, 37, of St. Anthony, was arrested the same day, Police Chief James Smith said.

“We had good information from witnesses,” Smith said.

Most terror outfits operating through popular US-based websites
The Cheers.org

Some of the world’s most dangerous organizations are operating through popular American-based websites, a new study undertaken by Tel Aviv University has claimed.

A workshop on terrorist organizations and the Internet was organized for the North American Treaty Organization (NATO), and according to the university’s Netvision Institute for Internet Studies (NIIS) and the Interdisciplinary Center for Technology Analysis and Forecasting the study of the web activity of terrorist organizations, reveals that outfits like the Hezbollah, the Islamic Jihad, and al-Qaeda all have websites hosted by popular American Internet service providers — the same companies that most of us use every day.

“These websites hosted in America are targeting Muslim mothers in America, Canada, the U.K. and all over the world, convincing them that being a ‘Shahid’ or a suicide bomber is particularly good and very important for their sons,” says Professor Niv Ahituv of the NIIS.

Available in English, Arabic, Spanish and other languages, the websites also provide tutorials on bomb building and enlist impressionable American and British Muslim women and men into a life of terror activity.

According to the study, the Islamic Jihad operates 15 websites in Arabic and English, hosted by both U.S. and Canadian companies. Hamas operates 20 websites in eight languages, a portion of which are based in the U.S and Canada, while Hezbollah operates 20 websites, also hosted by companies in the U.S. and Canada.

The FBI has shut down a few websites, but American law prevents the closure of most, says Professor Ahituv.

Wednesday’s Flight 93 Memorial Blogburst

Posted 7 May, 2008 by Doctor Bulldog
Categories: Uncategorized

No more do-overs for terrorist memorializing architects

Defenders of the crescent design keep accusing Tom Burnett Sr. of trying to get an improper “do over” after failing back in 2005 to sway the design-competition jury. But who is really seeking the do-over? The American people rose up in protest in 2005 when they saw that the Memorial Project wanted to plant a bare naked Islamic crescent and star flag on the flight 93 crash site:

MockUpandCrescent20%

That uproar forced the Memorial Project to agree to redesign the memorial so that it would no longer include Islamic symbol shapes (whether they are intentional or not). But nothing significant was changed. Every particle of the original crescent design remains completely intact in the so-called redesign, which only disguised the original crescent with a few irrelevant trees, placed to the rear of a person facing into the giant crescent.

The American people caught a hijacker trying to re-hijack Flight 93, and the Memorial Project told him to go back outside and try again, which is exactly what he did. Now they accuse Tom Burnett of wanting an improper do-over?

There were dozens of articles and television segments about the crescent controversy this week, mostly in Pennsylvania, with some national news coverage by Fox News television and AP. This post is an attempt to capture the general thrust of the new wave of position statements.

The Memorial Project is inverting every moral imperative at this point, and it all comes from their fervent desire to reverse the results of September 2005. Their embrace of the crescent was rejected by America and they are determined to undo that defeat, to the point of being willfully blind to massive evidence of al Qaeda sympathizing intent.

Front Page Magazine Interviews Bill Warner

Here’s an engaging interview sent in to us by Matamoros:

Kafir Dreams

By Jamie Glazov
FrontPageMagazine.com | 5/7/2008

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Bill Warner, the director of the Center for the Study of Political (CSPI) and spokesman for IslamPoliticalIslam.com.

FP: Bill Warner, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

Warner: Thank you Jamie.

FP: I’d like to talk to you today about how many of the names, words and phrases we use about Islam are muddled and incorrect. Many non-Muslims create certain terms about Islam to try to make the world seem safer and to feel good about themselves. But many of these terms have no actual basis in Islamic theology or culture and have no real meaning in an Islamic context.

I think the best way to start this discussion is to begin with the term “moderate Muslim.”

Warner: “Moderate Muslim” is a perfect example of the muddle and incorrect terminology that kafirs (unbelievers) use.

This term is intended to describe a Muslim who doesn’t seem dangerous or advocate violence. But “moderate Muslim” is a non-Muslim name, one that kafirs made up.

The doctrine of Islam does talk about the different kinds of Muslims. The measure of a Muslim is the Koran and the Sunna. Anyone who follows these teachings is a moderate Muslim, by definition.

Islamic doctrine defines what is moderate and not moderate. Since we are dealing with Islam, we need to know that the doctrine is dualistic. Islam can have two doctrines about any issue. This follows from the Koran. The early Koran, which was written in Mecca is generally religious. The Koran written in Medina is very political and includes jihad. The two Korans are not only very different, but they also contradict each other in major ways.

So we have the possibility of two kinds of moderate Muslims, since we have two doctrines. Osama bin Laden is a moderate Muslim, who follows the Koran of Medina, the Koran of jihad. Kafirs call him an extremist or radical Muslim. Actually, Osama obeys the Koran of Medina and the Sunna of Mohammed, so he is a moderate, pious Medinan Muslim.

The jihadists on September 11, 2001 were all moderate Medinan Muslims. They were not extremists or radicals.

The other kind of moderate Muslim follows the Koran of Mecca and he is more generally what kafirs mean when they say “moderate Muslim”. But how moderate is a Meccan Muslim? A moderate Muslim thinks that you are a kafir, but he isn’t violent, just antagonistic.

U.S. Military Confirms Former Guantanamo Detainee Carried Out Suicide Attack in Iraq

Anyone surprised by this?

Ex-Guantanamo prisoner carried out Iraq suicide attack

San Juan, Puerto Rico (AP) - The U.S. military is confirming that a former Guantanamo detainee from Kuwait carried out a recent suicide attack in northern Iraq.

A spokesman for U.S. military’s Central Command told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi took part in an attack in Mosul.

U.S. Navy Cmdr. Scott Rye says authorities don’t know the motive for the attack, which was reported last week by Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television. Iraqi security forces were apparently targeted.

The U.S. transferred al-Ajmi to Kuwaiti custody from Guantanamo in 2005. A Kuwaiti court later acquitted him of terrorism charges.

TURKEY: ARMED MEN THREATEN CHURCH
Incident in Ankara marks seventh threat of violence in past four months.

ISTANBUL, May 7 (Compass Direct News) – Three men, one of them armed with a gun and wearing gloves, threatened a Protestant church and its pastor in the Turkish capital city of Ankara yesterday. The culprits fled in a car before police could be summoned. The men drove up to Kurtulus Church in Ankara’s Cebeci district, and a heavy-set man about 45 years old went up to the locked church building and began to ring the doorbell repeatedly. He threatened to “get rid” of the pastor, and moments later one of the men in his car began walking toward a nearby church member, shouting and waving a pistol at him. The attempted attack marked the seventh incident in the past four months of threatened violence against Turkey’s tiny Protestant community, most of whom are former Muslims who converted to Christianity.

Preferential Treatment of Muslim Students at an Illinois School Sparks Complaints From Parents

Ah, yes…  The joys of multiculturalism…

School accused of favoring Muslim students
May 7, 2008

TINLEY PARK, Ill., May 7 (UPI) — A suburban Chicago school district has put cultural diversity on its meeting agenda after a complaint that Muslim students received preferential treatment.

The principal at Prairie View Middle School allowed a group of Muslim students to have a separate lunch table to accommodate religious observances during the month of Ramadan, but rejected a similar request by Catholic students for Lent, The Chicago Daily Southtown reported Wednesday.

“It’s not just about the table,” said Jennifer Cimaglia, a Tinley Park mother of three. “It appears that there is preferential treatment for Muslim students.”

Principal Joe Martin said he never intended to set a double standard for students, particularly along religious lines. Rather, Martin said he rejected the request of Catholic students because they failed to make it before the Lenten season began.

“Do I want to accommodate those students? Yes,” he Martin. “We’re going to look at accommodations for kids at Lent next year.”

The school board will discuss cultural diversity in the district at Thursday night’s committee meeting.

Maryland Court Rejects Islamic divorce

A small gesture of anti-dhimmitude from the courts…

Man’s attempt to circumvent state law is rejected

By Nick Madigan | Sun reporter
May 7, 2008

Saying “I divorce thee” three times, as men in Muslim countries have been able to do for centuries when leaving their wives, is not enough if you’re a resident of Maryland, the state’s highest court ruled yesterday.

Yesterday, the Court of Appeals rejected a Pakistani man’s argument that his invocation of the Islamic talaq, under which a marriage is dissolved simply by the husband’s say-so, allowed him to part with his wife of more than 20 years and deny her a share of his $2 million estate.

The justices affirmed a lower court’s decision overturning a divorce decree obtained in Pakistan by Irfan Aleem, a World Bank economist who moved from London to Maryland with his wife, Farah Aleem, in 1985.

Both of their children were born in the United States.

In 2003, Aleem’s wife filed for divorce in Montgomery County Circuit Court.

German Court Rules Against Muslim Girl Who Tried Skipping Co-ed Swim Class

Archaic Islam meets the modern West…

German Muslim girl can’t skip swim lessons: court
7 May 2008 - The Local.de

A Muslim girl in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia cannot skip co-ed swimming lessons because of religious prohibitions against wearing formfitting clothing, a German court ruled on Wednesday.

The administrative court in Düsseldorf ruled that the state’s responsibility to educate the girl outweighed the potential infringement on her religious freedom.

The 12-year-old girl’s parents sued her school in the northern German city of Remscheid after the school refused to allow the girl to skip swimming class. Citing religious reasons, the parents said they did not want their daughter to participate because her body would not be covered.

The ruling means the girl must participate in swimming lessons starting next week, Sabine Ernst of the Alexander von Humboldt School told German news agency DDP. Ernst declined to state what the consequences could be if the girl declines to attend.

Another Book Fair Honoring Israel Faces Protests

Book fair faces protests for honouring Israel
(AFP) - Khaleej Times

7 May 2008
ROME - The Turin book fair opening on Thursday, like its Parisian counterpart in March, honours Israel on the 60th anniversary of the Jewish state’s creation, sparking fresh Muslim anger and boycott calls.

Writer and professor Tariq Ramadan on Monday criticised the planned presence of Italian President Giorgio Napolitano at the fair, saying his attendance would make it ‘a political and not a cultural event.’

Ahead of the five-day expo, several Muslim writers, intellectuals and artists as well as the Free Palestine association staged a two-day protest seminar at the University of Turin titled ‘Western Democracies and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine.’

[Oh, I'm pretty sure that if Israel was really engaged in 'ethnic cleansing,' there wouldn't be any of those irritating, whiny Islamic squatters left to complain about it...]

Free Palestine is also planning a protest on Saturday.

Security has been tightened for this year’s event in Turin, coming two months after the Paris book fair which was inaugurated by Israeli President Shimon Peres and marred by a bomb threat that forced an hour-long evacuation of the venue.

Ramadan, who is backing the boycott calls, is the grandson of Hassan El-Banna, the Egyptian founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, an international Sunni Islamist movement.

He said last week that he would not ‘offer his support to 60 years of a policy of oppression of the Palestinian people.’

[Of course, being Egyptian, he conveniently omits Egypt's role in seizing land allocated to the Islamic Squatters and then forgets to mention that pesky little border wall between Egypt and Gaza  that keeps the Islamic Squatters out of Egypt...  No love there, buddy!]

Several Arab and Muslim countries and writers’ groups boycotted the Paris book fair.

The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation had called on its 50 member states to stay away, arguing that Israel’s ‘crimes against humanity’ in the Palestinian territories make it ‘unworthy’ of such an honour.

[Sounds like professional jealousy to me....]

Muslim critics say Israel should not be rewarded in this manner while it faces international outrage over its actions in the Palestinian territories.

[And, of course, NO balanced reporting going on here by the AFP!  No mention of the almost daily attacks on Israeli citizens by the Islamic Squatters.  No mention of Israel's RIGHT to the land.  No mention of Israel's endless concessions to the Islamic Squatters in an effort to resolve this manufactured conflict...  Etc. etc...  I could go on and on...  Obviously, the AFP reporter who wrote this article isn't even attempting to hide his/her bias...]

NJ’s Most Visible Muslim Cleric Facing Deportation over Hamas Ties

Isn’t it interesting that even a ‘moderate’ Muslim cleric seems to have terrorist ties…

NJ’s most visible Muslim cleric facing deportation
by Brian Donohue/The Star-Ledger
Tuesday May 06, 2008

The day after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, agents seeking Arabic interpreters turned to the Islamic Center of Passaic County in Paterson, where the imam, Mohammad Qatanani, instructed the faithful to lend the agents a hand.

In 2005, the New Jersey Senate tapped Qatanani to be the first Muslim to lead the opening prayer for a voting session, praising him as a voice of moderation and tolerance.

And for years, Jewish and Christian clergy have called on Qatanani to speak at programs promoting interfaith dialogue.

But 12 years after he arrived from the West Bank, Qatanani’s days as the state’s most visible Muslim cleric may be ending.

Qatanani, his wife and three children are facing deportation for his alleged failure to disclose on his green card application a 1993 arrest by Israeli authorities. Israeli military officials told the Associated Press he confessed to being a member of Hamas, a known terrorist organization. Qatanani denies the charge.

Lawyers for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will begin presenting the case before an immigration judge in Newark on Thursday.

UK Troops in Afghanistan say they are fighting Pakistanis

Posted 6 May, 2008 by Ronin
Categories: Radical Islam, War on Terror, know your enemy

It looks like the Brits just can not get enough of their troublesome Paki’s. Many of the fighters facing them could be British citizens. We have documented the large numbers departing each year and returning home, many to fight the jihad in neighboring Afghanistan. The Brits could find themselves facing them twice, once in Afghanistan and soon in Londonstan.
6th May, 2008, Australian News.Net
UK troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan have claimed that nearly 60 percent of the guerrillas they are fighting are Pakistanis.

Without disclosing their source of intelligence, the British troops said that they heard the guerillas speaking in Punjabi accents and had found Pakistani papers and telephone contacts on dead fighters.

UK troops say the ideologically driven young men consider their fighting role to be religious obligation or jihad.

Afghan officials have said that Islamabad is turning a blind eye to the flow of terrorists from Pakistan into Afghanistan.

Lieutenant Colonel Nick Borton, commanding officer of Battle group South, has said: “Our understanding is that the Madressahs of northern Pakistan are the major breeding ground that provide the bulk of brainwashed Taliban fighters.”

The guerillas are thought to come from militant hotspots such as Waziristan and Swat, but also from Punjab, a rich agricultural province with a history of producing radical Muslims.

CAIR Says Storming of Fake Illinois ‘Mosque’ in Recent Law Enforcement Exercise Sends Wrong Message

Posted 6 May, 2008 by Doctor Bulldog
Categories: CAIR, Religion

The purpose of a law enforcement exercise is to emulate and train for ‘a real world’ contingency. So, it should come as no surprise that a fake mosque was used in a recent exercise targeting fake terrorists…

Nor, should it come as any surprise that the terrorist supporting organization that is CAIR, decided to feign outrage by writing up a press release denouncing the exercise…

To bring it all home to you, imagine the absurdity of group of crack addicts protesting law enforcement’s use of a fake ‘crack house’ in a similar such ‘real world’ exercise…

CAIR: State emergency personnel may now view Islamic houses of worship as security threats

via - EarthTimes

WASHINGTON, May 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today said an emergency preparedness drill in Illinois, in which a fake “mosque” was stormed by law enforcement authorities, sends the “wrong message” that all Islamic houses of worship may be potential security threats.

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said officials from almost 30 government agencies participated in the drill Thursday in Irving, Ill., targeting a community facility that had been re-named the “Irving Mosque” for the purposes of the exercise. In the exercise, officers from the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) stormed the “mosque” using an armored car. One “hostage” was hooked up to an explosive device and the “suspects” in the “mosque” released nerve gas.

“The use of a fake ‘mosque’ in this type of drill sends the wrong message to law enforcement officials who may now view mainstream institutions, such as Islamic houses of worship, as potential security threats,” said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of CAIR’s Chicago chapter (CAIR-Chicago). “Officials must be trained in dealing with hostage-taking and responding to chemical, biological or bomb attacks. We are only questioning the wisdom of linking the American Muslim community and its institutions to such incidents.”

Hamas Kids’ “Programming” At It Again

Gaza PA TV Show Educates Kids to Conquer Tel Aviv

by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

(IsraelNN.com) A Palestinian Authority television program produced by Hamas, the ruling regime in Gaza, encourages Arab Muslim children to strive for the conquest of Israeli cities such as Tel Aviv, Haifa and Ashdod. The puppet characters in the program, two birds named Kuku and Fufu, refer to all the Israeli cities as “settlements” and repeatedly say that they “will return to our land.” In order to “defeat the enemies of Allah,” the show tells kids, Arab Muslims must unite and adhere to the Koran.

The TV show was broadcast on the Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV on May 2, 2008, as part of a discussion of Israel’s upcoming 60th Independence Day, which the Arabs have dubbed Al-Nakba, “the Disaster”. The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) provided translated excerpts of the program.

Tearfully, the Kuku character tells his companion: “We will persevere, Allah willing, and we will return to our land, Allah willing. We will return to Jaffa, Akko [Acre], Lod, Ramle and Ashdod. We will return to all these cities, Allah willing.”

Three Women Killed in Attack on Brothel

It sounds to me as if al-Qaeda is behind this…  The tell-tale clues are there…

3 killed in brothel attack, others in Sadr City clashes
6 May 2008 - www.kristv.com

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Officials in Iraq are reporting that three women have been slain in an attack on a brothel in northern Iraq.

A statement says that Sunni Muslim militants are suspected in the attack, which left two other women wounded.

There’s been a string of morality-related attacks on women in Iraq, including the bombings of hair salons and murders of women not wearing traditional garb.

Meanwhile, hospital officials say at least four Iraqis died overnight after clashes in Baghdad’s Sadr City. Some 21 people were wounded. The sprawling slum has been the site of fierce fighting between the Mahdi Army militia and U.S. and Iraqi troops.

Saudi propaganda distances them from extremism

Posted 5 May, 2008 by Ronin
Categories: Analysis, Radical Islam, know your enemy

A laughable continuation of the saudi attempt to paint islam in a favorable light and distance islam from the extremism at the core of islam.

6 May, 2008, The Daily Times
The ambassador of Saudi Arabia in Pakistan, HE Mr Ali S Awadh Asseri, in an interview given to Daily Times, has made some thought-provoking remarks on the state of the Muslim mind that need to be dwelt upon. Correctly, he said that there was a need to revisit “the logic behind the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq” and engage the fighting sides there in dialogue. He spoke of Muslim extremism in the same context: “Those few who are engaged in their nefarious effort to promote the cult of extremism and violence are heretics and deviants. They must be controlled through a combined effort of all peace-loving nations of the world”.
-Those few hundred thousand jihadi and their supporters do tend to cause a ruckus. The saudi’s really wouldn’t mind but the non stop terror attacks, the continual exposure of muslim crimes is getting increasingly hard to explain away. The sky-high fuel prices do not help, it makes people take notice. Many more people are starting to wake up. I hear people talking about islam more and more.

Of course, the world knows about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But those who think clearly separate the two wars on the basis of the sanction behind the two invasions and it is the extremist who equates the two to whip up immoderate emotion that has never benefited the Muslims. The war in Iraq has been analysed and the neocon administration of President George W Bush has been found guilty of having made a trespass into the region on false pretences. But if we are to get at the root of the current Muslim mind we must also look into the war of Saddam Hussein against Iran. And blaming the United States will not do this time.
-Nice switch, he starts bashing the US and Bush and retracts it to focus briefly on muslims and ends with a lead up to later Bush bashing. No wonder this clown is in politics. Read the rest of this post »
