Riots in France

26 May, 2008

TNR gave us a link to this video that is banned in France.  Nothing out of the ordinary, but it does show some disenfranchised ghetto youths mixing it up with the Police.  Perhaps the French are trying to hide something:

Virginians Speak Out Against Private Saudi Academy

Nice to see that the citizens of Virginia are waking up to the enemy in their midst. However, local government has a ways to go:

Questions about Saudi academy in Virginia
By: Jim Brown – May 26, 2008

Critics of a private Saudi academy renting a local government building in northern Virginia warn the school promotes a virulent form of Sunni Islam known as Wahhabism.

Fairfax County, Virginia, supervisors voted last week to continue leasing property to the Islamic Saudi Academy, despite concerns over the K-12 school’s past use of classroom material that promoted hatred against Jews and Christians. In October, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom issued a report harshly criticizing the Saudi educational system, and called on the State Department to shut down the Islamic Saudi Academy.

Andrea Lafferty, executive director of the Traditional Values Coalition, says Saudi schools teach students that in order to safeguard Islam, they must “violently repress and even physically eliminate” non-Muslims.

“Remember that 15 out of the 19 [September 11, 2001, hijackers] were Saudi Arabian nationals,” she points out. “What did these men learn as students? They learned … from their textbooks, remember — that there is no peaceful coexistence with so-called ‘infidels.'”

Lafferty says students are taught that not only is peace unobtainable, but that violent jihad is an obligation. “And we are very troubled … that they refer to Christians and Jews as ‘apes’ and ‘swine,'” she notes.

Currently, Lafferty is pressing the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to release the findings of a translation it commissioned of the Arabic textbooks used at the Academy. She remains skeptical of the school’s claims that its curriculum is tolerant of all faiths and that offensive portions of their textbooks have been modified.

[Yup. I am sure the Qur’an remains untouched. You know, the aforementioned part where Allah calls Jews “Apes and Pigs” along with the numerous exhortations for ALL Muslims to kill those who don’t believe in Allah and his false prophet.]

Incarcerated UK Muslims Offended by “Allah” the Dog

Geez, these UK prison officials sure are dhimmi-whipped… Perhaps we could send Sheriff Joe Arpaio over there to straighten them out!

Row Errupts as Prison Officer’s Sniffer Dog Causes Muslim Offence
DogMagazine.net

A row has broken out at one of the UK’s toughest high-security jails over a complaint that a prison officer called his sniffer dog Allah.

The prison officer in question insists he named his dog Ali, not Allah, but has been moved to another jail after the complaint from a Muslim inmate at Belmarsh prison, south-east London.

Belmarsh contains the highest number of Muslim inmates of any UK prison.

A source at the jail told the Sun newspaper: “Muslims don’t like dogs and it would have been an insult to their religion if the dog had been called Allah, which is sacred to them. It is disgraceful the way the management kow-towed to them despite Chris’s denial.”

[You took the words right out of my mouth!]

A Prison Service source is quoted: “There is no suggestion that he did call the dog Allah but, on balance, it was thought better to transfer him.”

This Memorial Day, Google STILL Unpatriotic… Yahoo! Rocks!!!

26 May, 2008

As we noted last year, Google continues to blatantly ignore Memorial Day!

I just checked Google. Sure enough, they are once again shamelessly refusing to recognize our Men and Women who have died for our freedoms!

Here’s a screen grab of Google’s logo from a few moments ago:

Nope.  No respect.  Just another day at Google…

Now, if they can recognize Earth Day and the 45th Anniversary of the LASER, you would think it would not be too difficult for them to pay tribute to our fallen heroes on Memorial Day – a National Holiday!

But, what do you expect from a bunch of tree hugging, pot smoking Liberals who are obviously still tripping from their first LASERIUM experience?

Now, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Yahoo! always pays tribute to our fallen heroes on Memorial Day!

Here is a screen grab of Yahoo!’s logo from a few minutes ago:

Yup! They know how to do it right!

To thank them, I will be using the Yahoo! search engine all day, today – completely ignoring Google, just like they have done to the memory of our fallen soldiers who died fighting for the freedoms Google and its employees enjoy so much…

Update: Catherine has kindly informed us that Dogpile is also commemorating Memorial Day:

And, I see that Ask.com is also paying their respects to the Men and Women who died for those Freedoms that Google seems to take for granted:

“Honor” Killing in Egypt

No, it’s not cultural!

If it didn’t agree with Islam, it simply would not be allowed…

Egyptian farmer hangs, decapitates daughter in ‘honour’ killing

ThaiIndianNews

Cairo (DPA) An Egyptian farmer who suspected his 16-year-old daughter was having an affair hanged her and then beheaded her body in the southern province of Bani Soueif, it was reported Sunday. The local daily Al-Akhbar said Abdel-Samad, 46, turned himself to the police after the killing. It said a police investigation showed the father suspected his daughter of having an affair.

So-called honour killings are not unusual in Egypt and other countries of the Middle East, where families murder female members for having brought “shame” on their name.

Such killings often involve a female member refusing an arranged marriage or having a relationship that the family considers to be inappropriate.

Memorial Day

26 May, 2008


Today is Memorial Day here in the US. Although over the years the ceremonies around the holiday have changed as well as its original name the ideal that we must honor our fallen has not. Originally meant to honor the fallen from our Civil War it now honors all our military forces.

Most of you already know both Doctor Bulldog and I are both military retirees. While we both faced enemies of freedom we returned to friends and family. Today we honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

I am reflecting on those I have served with and I do not mourn them, I praise them. No better have walked this earth.

This poem honors men like them so in tribute.

Final Inspection

by Sgt Joshua Helterbran

The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass.

“Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?”

The Solider squared his shoulders and said
“No, Lord, I guess I ain’t
Because those of us who carry guns
Can’t always be a saint.

I’ve had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny
That wasn’t mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just to steep,

And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.

I know I don’t deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.

If you’ve a place for me here,
Lord, It needn’t be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.”

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.

“Step forward now, you Soldier,
You’ve borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell.”
