Atlanta: 2 Separate Robberies, 2 Dead Criminals…

Yup, if I were a career criminal, I think I’d look for something somewhat safer – like Alaskan crab fishing…

2 killed by victims in separate Atlanta robberies

08 February 2009 – WTVM

ATLANTA (AP) – Police say two crime victims in Metro Atlanta killed their attackers in separate incidents.

Cobb County police say 38-year-old Richard Ellis of Marietta was shot in his own garage Saturday night. Ellis grabbed the wound-be robber’s gun and shot and killed the man, identified as 33-year-old John Harrison of Palmetto.

Ellis was wounded in the leg. Harrison was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital but died of his injuries.

In Atlanta, police say a woman fatally stabbed a robbery suspect who broke into her apartment while her 11-year-old child slept.

The suspect was identified as 34-year-old Jerome Davis of Atlanta. The woman’s name was not released.

No charges have been filed in either case.

We’re All Socialists Now

Destroy a corporation for Palestine

This is a cute idea but short sighted. Muslims cannot get along inside of muslim countries organizing them on a global basis into an economic powerhouse is a pipe dream.

By Hamid Golpira, 8 February 2009, Tehran Times
It’s time for some economic jihad. Let’s destroy a corporation for Palestine.
-I suggest you start with the banks that helped damage the US economy.

Muslims must adopt a comprehensive economic strategy in this era of globalization.

If we don’t, then we will be worthy of contempt because we will have become our own worst enemies.
-Muslims have always been the biggest threat to muslims, declare jihad on your nearest mosque.

One and a half billion Muslims acting in unison can have a great influence on the global economy.
-Imagine what you could do if you actually had working economies. The failure of Islamic leadership to build working infrastructures has doomed a billon muslims to a life of poverty.

Indeed, the Islamic ummah is already a key component of the world economy since a market of 1.5 billion people cannot be ignored. But unfortunately, most Muslims have not realized this fact and the profits from our purchases are still being used against us.

When will we wake up?
-When you stop living in the seventh century.

However, it’s not easy to be a jihadi. The struggle must be fought on the physical, mental, and spiritual planes. True jihad must be fought on all fronts. It must be waged on the cultural, military, intellectual, ideological, psychological, spiritual, and economic fronts.

But in this era of globalization, it is essential that Muslims learn how to correctly conduct economic jihad.

First of all, we must not give money to the enemy.
-That would be the people that control you, the clerics and your political leadership.

Even now, the enemies of Islam are laughing at us, saying, “Look at the foolish Muslims. We have brainwashed them so completely that they are giving us their money. They are buying products manufactured by our corporations and are oblivious to the fact that we are using the revenues to pay for weapons that are killing their own people and to fund programs meant to undermine their own culture and way of life. They are financing the destruction of their own civilization.”
-Actually we are saying “look at those backward savages”

Shame on us. This is true for a large segment of the Muslim ummah.

Thus, clearly, it is time to reform ourselves.
-Duh!

Muslim Headmaster flees traditional islam

Everywhere I go it seems there is another muslim apologist claiming that sharia is the answer to all the world’s problems. It is my hope that someday they get the chance to experience life under the Taliban.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Feb 8, 2009 (AFP) – Sitting on a cold floor in a mud house on the outskirts of Peshawar, Akbar Ali fights back tears about getting his five children and pregnant wife out of ‘hell’ in Pakistan’s Swat valley.
-Pakistan is an ally and a “moderate” muslim country. In the past Pakistanis ignored the Taliban because they operated in the tribal areas and most Pakistanis never dreamed they would gain a real foothold, well they have and they will continue to move and spread their seventh century violence. All muslims that want sharia here is your chance, enjoy.

When religious extremists came to his village, his life as a respected local headmaster fell apart. Today he hears that Aligrama has become a ghost village, overrun by rebels and damaged by army shelling.
-He plays the victim but I quarantine he taught Islamic supremacy ideology, he just wasn’t extreme enough to please his new landowners.

Thousands of followers of radical cleric Maulana Fazlullah are waging a violent campaign to impose their extremist interpretation of Islamic Sharia law, beheading opponents, threatening detractors and fighting the government.
-Sharia as practiced by the Taliban is not an extremist interpretation, it is the traditional approach. Muslims do not get to pick which portions of sharia they must obey. The UK has already learned the hard way, start slowly and sharia rapidly grows into the more traditional and violent ideology that brought a gleam into mohammeds evil eyes.

US student knifed by Arabs in Jerusalem

One American attacked overseas that doesn’t seem unique to me. Americans are increasingly attacked, robbed, kidnapped and threatened. It is easy to blame American policies for this but placing the blame does nothing to protect anyone. In this story racism was the cause; the muslims saw an opportunity to attack an American and took it, that doesn’t mean the same group would not have attacked a Jew given the chance.

I do not use my real name on this site or in emails because I do travel in and out of muslim controlled areas. This story hits home with me. At home I am armed, traveling my weapons are limited to things I can explain away. One obvious but oft ignored survival tip: you should learn to blend in and not attract attention before you travel. If I had a dollar for every American I saw wearing Patriotic and sports shirts, hats, etc (idiots). It should not surprise any of you that we are targets.

We are going to skip the cause and effect and focus on how you can protect yourself overseas. Many of us take business trips and vacation overseas, let’s do it smartly.

By YAAKOV LAPPIN, AP AND JPOST.COM STAFF 8 February 2009
Three men attacked an American college student in Jerusalem on Sunday after he asked them for directions, according to police reports released Sunday morning.
-Your first source of directions is your hotel desk but if that is not possible. Only ask directions inside of a well lit business. Odds are the owner doesn’t want a ruckus inside. Go into a second business and ask again if the location you are looking for is far away or sends you through alleys or other isolated areas.

Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said the 19-year-old student told police he was on his way to the city’s Hebrew University when he got lost and stopped the men for directions. The student identified the men as Arabs and said they attacked him with a knife, slashing his face and neck.
-Approaching a group increases your risk; he should have looked for an authority figure or a single male, smaller in stature. You should also always travel with a buddy. If you are drinking the buddy should not. A simple rule but one ignored by Americans all over the world.

Rosenfeld said the student was being treated at a nearby hospital. Police were searching for the assailants.
Rosenfeld did not give the student’s name, and it was not immediately clear if he attended Hebrew University. The university had no immediate comment.

Also on Sunday morning, large numbers of Tel Aviv police officers scoured Jaffa on Sunday morning after a 20-year-old soldier reported being assaulted by a knifeman on his way to his army base on Shivtei Yisrael Street.

The soldier, who was uninjured in the incident, said he was able to fight off the attacker, adding that the assailant then escaped.
-Then his defense sucked, your defense should injure your attacker. This is risky in may countries as some just toss Americans into jail and forget about them. When travelling Americans have no rights and the US Embassy will probably send someone to politely explain that you are screwed. If possible stay out of muslim countries and muslim enclaves inside of non muslim countries also steer clear of Mexican border towns. To be fair Mexican border towns are usually safe for quick shopping trips if you are in a group and leave before night fall. If you get sloppy drunk and isolated at night in a border town then you are an idiot and someone will prove it to you.

Police said the background into the incident was being checked.

A Tel Aviv police spokesman told The Jerusalem Post that “the incident is under investigation,” adding that no further details could be added at this stage.
-This part is key – you should not concern yourself with investigation. Rarely will the country involved pay for your return just for a trial. Local thugs are known to police and they know how far they can push them before making their radar.

-My last tip: If you make yourself an easy victim then you will be one. Now, feel free to share your own safe travel tips.
