ETA Bombs Television Station in Northern Spain

ETA stands for Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, which is Basque for “Basque Homeland and Freedom”. The ETA has links with Islamic networks in Europe and Algeria, somehow that was left out of this article.

The Basque separatist group ETA, under pressure after the arrests of its top leaders in 2008, ended the year by bombing the headquarters of a regional broadcasting network.

A car bomb exploded Wednesday in front of the Basque public broadcaster EITB in the northern Spanish city of Bilbao following a warning call from the armed separatist group ETA.

According to the Associated Press, EITB, which managed to stay on air despite the explosion at its headquarters in central Bilbao city, said in its early afternoon news report that the blast caused significant damage and one person was injured.
-Wow, still on the air well good for um, don’t cave in to terrorism.

Police said the bomb exploded shortly after 11 AM local time. The Basque separatist group called in a warning one hour before the explosion, allowing police to evacuate the building and cordon off the area.

Spain’s state-run television station broadcast footage showing the explosion. After a flash of fire, the blast blew out dozens of windows on the glass facade of the six-story building.

Unstable passenger attacks flight attendant

From our truth is stranger than fiction department.

By Mike McKnight, 30 December, 2008, WOWT-TV
The FBI is looking into a bizarre and frightening incident aboard a commercial jet heading from Houston to Omaha last Friday involving an unstable passenger.

It began with a middle-aged man leaving the plane’s lavatory covered in his own feces. “Oh, it was awful. It was worse than that.”
-I fly often and have seen my share of weirdoes but I have never seen anything like this.

Stacey, from Houston, who asked that we not use her last name, says the small Continental Air Express commuter jet had just one flight attendant in the cabin, a young man who moved the other passengers forward to empty seats and kept the unkempt passenger in the back row.

“I hear all of this ruckus and this yelling and I kind of turned around and the poor flight attendant is on his back and the guy is like punching him and I’m like, oh my gosh. It’s almost like a scene out of a movie. There were two male passengers behind me that got up and kind of got the guy off of him. The poor steward, he’s got a black eye, his eye’s swelling. I felt so sorry for him.”
-I would imagine at the time other thoughts went through her head.

The injured attendant, with help from the passengers, got the unruly passenger buckled in and calmed down for landing at Eppley Airfield.

The U.S. attorney says the man was not arrested, but detained at the airport by authorities until picked up by trained professionals from a care facility in Iowa.
-I have a problem with this. Nuts or not, you cannot go around naked, cover with feces and hitting on stewards. No doubt the guy was headed to the Bulldog family reunion and started partying a little early but he should still pay for his crimes.

Ronin’s plan for Peace in the Middle East

I was thinking (never a good thing) and I have a solution that will end violence in the Middle East and expose islam for what it is; a violent and oppressive political system masquerading as a religious ideology.

The solution starts with mohammed – founder of the cult of islam. His problem with the Jews started shortly after he declared himself to be the prophet of a deity he called “allah”. The Jews, much to their credit, tossed the bullshit flag and were among the first people to laugh in mohammed’s face. Because the wanna-be prophet was pissed, he slammed the Jewish people in a small book he ordered written (mohammed was illiterate) and ordered the Jews hunted down and murdered. Old mo was smart enough to know killing them all would take a long time and even included a story in his works of fiction  about a Jew hiding and an inanimate object ordering a follower to come and kill the last Jew. At least mohammed was smart enough to know the troubles between them would last down to the last man.

The battle between islam and the Jewish population continues today and will never end until the Jews are all dead, converted to islam, or enslaved.

Now, for the Jews, enslavement and death are not a valid option. Here is my solution. Are you ready for this? The leader of all Jews must declare everyone of Jewish heritage to be a muslim. This entire plan should only take 24 hours. Not only will all Jews be miraculously converted but also they will be among the most radical of all sharia-loving muslims. Sharia will be enforced on Israel’s enemies and all based on the life of old mohammed himself.

Two Israelis in Denmark Shot

Gee, let’s see…  Odensa, Denmark has a large Muzzie population…  Hmmm….

Israelis Targeted in Danish Shopping Mall

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK — (December 31, 2008)

(lubavitch.com) Two Israelis were shot Wednesday while managing their booth at a shopping mall in Odense, Denmark. According to Copenhagen’s Chabad Rabbi Yitzchok Loewenthal, one of the victims is undergoing surgery for his wounds.

Friends of the victims met with Copenhagen’s Chabad Rabbi Yitzchok Loewenthal within minutes of learning of the attack. “They are concerned, of course,” says Rabbi Loewenthal, but grateful that they are alive.

Rabbi Loewenthal was in contact with security at Denmark’s Israeli embassy and police authorities following the attack, and says that police have recovered the black Audi getaway car, but have yet to apprehend the shooters.

Arab demonstrators protested in the center of town yesterday, and at the Israeli embassy. But, says Loewenthal, things are generally quiet in Copenhagen. Denmark’s Jewish population numbers roughly 8,000, with the majority in Copenhagen,

By contrast, Odense has a strong Muslim population, and the victims were reportedly dealing with daily harassment by Muslims. Several years ago, recalls Rabbi Loewenthal, Chabad rabbinical students who had gone to Odense on outreach missions, were practically “stoned out of the city by local Muslims.”

Rabbi Loewenthal  told Lubavitch.com that he has confidence that the police will find the gunmen, but that he is beefing up security at the local Chabad House in Copenhagen anyway.  He will be visiting the victims in the hospital tomorrow.

Muzzie Hackers Attacking Websites to Protest Israel’s Recent Defensive Maneuvers in Gaza

Muslim hackers attack Israeli sites as Gaza strikes continue

Dan Kaplan – SC Magazine
December 31, 2008

Muslim hackers have launched a massive cyberattack, defacing more than 300 Israeli websites since the Jewish state began pounding Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, a computer forensics expert said this week.

And operators of pro-Israeli websites operating in the United States should expect similar assaults to come their way, said Gary Warner, director of research in computer forensics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

“In the current situation, the hackers supporting Gaza clearly believe Israel and the U.S. are culpable,” he wrote on his blog. “That means American webmasters may wish to be especially vigilant right now.”

Warner called the spate of defacements a “Propaganda War,” in which the Muslim hackers replace legitimate content with anti-Israeli and anti-United States messages.

The last time a similar campaign of this magnitude was unleashed was in 2006, when thousands of Danish and American sites were either hacked or hit with distributed denial-of-service attacks. Muslim extremists were angered over satirical Danish caricatures of the prophet Muhammad that appeared in a number of European newspapers.

Warner said website operators must secure common entryways for hackers, including vulnerable programming language, forum or blog software, image programs and utilities, such as website statistic applications. In addition, they must prevent the theft of FTP credentials, which are used to access sites and load content.

Israeli leaders on Wednesday rejected calls for an immediate cease-fire and continue to pound Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip for the fifth straight day. Some 390 people have been killed, mostly members of Hamas security forces.

The assault comes in response to Hamas rocket strikes into Israel, which Israeli leaders said are landing closer to densely populated cities than ever before.

Murderer Wants his Meat Slaughtered in Accordance with Islam

I say, give the little murdering POS something to really whine about;  send him to Sheriff Arpaio’s prison in Arizona!

Muslim inmate files suit over lack of halal meat

December 31, 2008 – NewsDay.com

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – A Muslim inmate in a Connecticut prison has filed a federal lawsuit, alleging he has been denied meals that conform to his religious standards.

Ricardo Collins says officials are denying his right to freedom of religion by failing to provide meat that is “halal,” slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law.

The 27-year-old inmate, who is being held at Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center, filed his lawsuit in U.S. District Court on Dec. 23.

Prison officials declined to comment, citing department policy on pending litigation.

A spokesman says meals served to Muslim prisoners comply with their religious standards, even if they do not contain halal meat.

Collins recently won an appellate court decision granting him a new trial on a murder charge. He had been convicted in Superior Court of killing a man in Bridgeport in 2002.

Israel mulls truce offer on Day 4 of Gaza assault

I think Israel has them on the ropes and needs to step on their heads. Bomb them for a few more weeks and then consider a truce.

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 – 06:49 PM
By IBRAHIM BARZAK and AMY TEIBEL, 30 December 2008, (AP) GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip
Israel is considering suspending its Gaza offensive for 48 hours to give Hamas militants an opening to halt their rocket fire, but the threat of a ground offensive remains if the truce does not hold, Israeli officials said Tuesday.
-Tactically a stupid move. It would only give the minions more time to prepare. All hamas has to do is stay alive and they will claim victory.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak is to raise the proposal during a meeting Tuesday night with the prime minister, said two senior officials in Barak´s office who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to make the information public.

Talk of a truce seemed to be the outcome of a strong diplomatic push, particularly from Europe and the United Nations. European Union foreign ministers were scheduled to gather in Paris on Tuesday evening for an urgent meeting on the crisis in Gaza, with France and Germany both seeking a cease-fire.
-None of those countries did anything to stop the rockets fired by hamas and Israel should not listen to any of them.

In two phone calls to Barak on Monday and Tuesday, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner appealed to the Israeli defense minister to consider a truce to allow humanitarian relief supplies to enter the beleaguered Gaza Strip, the officials said.

A Hamas spokesman said any halt to militant rocket and mortar fire would require an end to Israel´s crippling blockade of the Gaza Strip. “If they halt the aggression and the blockade, then Hamas will study these suggestions,” said Mushir Masri.
-The leaders sound brave and defiant until you realize that they are safe in Syria and abandoned their people. When they crawl up to you and beg for peace then consider it.

Australia: Topless ban to protect Muslims.

My first thought when I read the title was; muslims are scared of boobs because most of their wives are prepubescent and have not developed them yet.

I only ran this story after I googled a few beaches and decided this issue is a no brainier, let them puppies out. Damn the insensitivity of a few muslim visitors.

Georgina Robinson, 30 December 2008, the Sydney Morning Herald
Conservative MP Fred Nile says he wants topless bathing banned in NSW to protect Sydney’s Muslim and Asian communities.
-Needless to say I am against this idea, the more skin women want to flash the better.

The Reverend Nile has rejected allegations that prudishness is behind a bill he has prepared to ban nudity, including topless sunbathing, on the state’s most popular beaches.

Australia’s reputation as a conservative but culturally inclusive society was at risk of erosion by more liberal overseas visitors, he said.

“Our beaches should be a place where no one is offended, whether it’s their religious or cultural views,” he said.

“If they’ve come from a Middle Eastern or Asian country where women never go topless – in fact they usually wear a lot of clothing – I think it’s important to respect all the different cultures that make up Australia.”
-Bullshit, visitors should follow the rules of the country that hosts them and not expect preferential treatment. When islamic nations start showing respect for other cultures then they can whine.

The practice was at risk of raising the ire of Muslim men in particular, Mr Nile said.
-If it were topless little girls the muslim men would be happier, it is not Australia’s fault their women are hotter than anything islam can produce. Generations of inbreeding have not been kind to islam.

The Disarmament of Hamas is an Essential Prerequisite of Peace

Given CNN’s over-the-top bias in covering the operations in Gaza, you would think that the Israelis were the bad guys…  I guess CNN and others have never heard the phrase “peace through superior firepower!”

Hamas Fantasy Rules
NRO – By the Editors

Israel has been extremely dilatory in responding to the aggression of Hamas, but nobody doubted that the day of reckoning would come. Hamas is never going to change its belief that it has a God-given mission to destroy Israel, and the capacity to do so.

Since 2001, something on the order of 4,000 missiles, and the same number of mortar shells, have been fired from Gaza at civilian targets miles into Israel.  Since taking power in Gaza, Hamas has split the Palestinians into two irreconcilable camps, with themselves as Islamists and Fatah under Mahmoud Abbas as putative nationalists (albeit with their own jihadist elements). While the latter camp has been negotiating for a peace settlement, Hamas has been preparing openly for the final war its leaders envision, asserting at every opportunity that it will never under any circumstances settle for the two-state solution that most of the world hopes for. The truce Hamas offered was an opportunity to stockpile weapons and undergo training. Hamas interpreted Israeli restraint as evidence that Israel was unable to defend its sovereignty and was therefore actually on the path to defeat and national dissolution.

For Hamas, the decision to resume hostilities carries no political risk. At best, they will kill some Israelis, boast of their heroic stature, and crow that Fatah can no longer claim to represent Palestinians. At worst, they will suffer a mass of casualties and make propaganda out of that, as though they themselves were not responsible for these horrors. Hamas is already cashing in on opportunistic pronouncements by the likes of President Nicolas Sarkozy of France that the Israeli measures are “disproportionate,” or the burbling of Ban Ki-Moon, the ineffable United Nations secretary general, that “violence” is “unacceptable” — as though Israel and Hamas were moral equivalents.

Are Americans safe from U.S. mosques?

Middle East experts measure threat level of Shariah law

By Art Moore
WorldNetDaily

When the five Muslims convicted this month of plotting to kill U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix were charged, the New Jersey mosque where four of the men worshipped reacted to negative publicity by holding an “emergency town hall meeting” to calm neighbors and persuade Americans that Islam poses no threat.

But having investigated the Islamic Center of South Jersey one year ago, Middle East expert and former Air Force special agent Dave Gaubatz insists not only is the mosque a threat to national security, it represents a pattern that has prompted him to launch a massive project to systematically classify every known mosque in the U.S.

Mapping Shariah in America: Knowing the Enemy seeks by the end of next year to document in a rigorous, scientific fashion the controversial premise that the more a mosque or community of Muslims adheres to Shariah, or Islamic law, the greater its threat to U.S. national security.

“That’s exactly, that’s what the data are showing,” Gaubatz told WND, who has charted about 100 of the estimated 2,300 mosques his team has identified across the country. “The more adherent you are to Shariah, the more likely you are going to find the material to back that up at the mosque.”

No one else is doing this work in the United States – not the FBI, not the police, not the Department of Homeland Security. You can support the work of the Mapping Sharia Project here.

For the observant Muslim, Islamic law is an all-encompassing system that dictates every aspect of life, from food and clothing to the duty to participate in making the religion dominant over the entire world.

At the Islamic Center of South Jersey in Palmyra, where three of the Muslims in the Fort Dix case regularly worshipped and a fourth prayed a few times, Gaubatz found a strict, Shariah-adherent leadership that eagerly distributed jihadist materials supportive of seminal Shariah proponents such as Sayid Abul Maududi, the founder of the radical Pakistani party Jamaat-e-Islami, and Syed Qutb, whose ideas shaped al-Qaida.

“What is being overlooked in the Fort Dix case is where the suspects worshipped,” he said. “Were they Shariah adherent? Who is the imam, what materials were at the mosque? They came up with the idea to attack Fort Dix for some reason. How and why?”

Using a sophisticated matrix developed by Gaubatz and his colleagues, including a former jihadist, the Jersey mosque was ranked an 8, with 10 being the greatest threat and 1 the lowest.

In the study, Gaubatz and his team – which includes people of different faiths and nationalities, including Muslims – employ 62 different factors to assess a mosque’s compliance to Shariah.

“We don’t rely on talking to anyone about anything, because if we did, you’re going to get some people giving you half-answers and some not answering at all,” he said.

The focus is on the observed facts, he said, such as how many of the women wear a hijab, how many wear Western-style clothing and the type of threads in an imam’s garment.

The team recognizes the distinctions between the Shiite branch of Islam and the four primary schools of thought within the Sunni branch. But Gaubatz says those factors are not scored in the study. The premise is that all streams and sects of Islam recognize a form of Shariah. His primary concern, for the purpose of assessing the threat to the U.S., is the mosque’s degree of adherence.

Of interest to most Americans, of course, is the threat of violent jihad. But Gaubatz notes there are two other forms of jihad at work in the U.S. to advance Islam, the pen and the tongue.
