Pakistan: Jihadists uniting to take over Islamabad
“The day is not far when Islamabad will be in the hands of the mujahideen.” And then what? Will Obama offer them still more money?
“Pak Taliban fighters uniting to take over Islamabad: Reports,” from the Times of India, April 9
Pakistan insists on receiving “unconditional support” from U.S.
Its top officials are “irked” that the billions Obama has pledged in aid actually have strings attached — probably conditions such as “this money is not to be given to the Taliban or al-Qaeda,” and other unreasonable demands. To further protest, Pakistan’s ISI agency, which is well linked to jihadis and terrorists, has refused to meet with American officials (they are “offended” at the implication).

Pakistan: After getting Sharia in Swat, Islamic parties demand Islamic law in entire country
Concessions to jihadists only result in demands for more concessions. Obama will probably be learning this lesson, or be given an opportunity to learn this lesson, soon enough. “Pakistan’s religious parties demand extension of Islamic law,” by Raza Khan for The Washington Times,
Pakistani Christian man — the “lowest of the low” — murdered
“Explaining the reason behind rising incidents of discrimination, abduction, forced conversion and rapes [and murders, of course] involving vulnerable segments of society,” a human rights advocate in Pakistan said, “You can always expect occurrence of such incidents in presence of a multi-law system.” That would be the sort of law-system the Obama administration is acquiescing to.

British universities: Breeding grounds for Islamic terrorism
Just another blow to the “poverty-and-ignorance-fuel-jihad” myth, which is constantly being disproved. “Terror blunder: British universities are ‘real and serious’ terrorism threat,” Graeme Paton for the Telegraph, April 9:
“Afghan intelligence officials are sympathetic to the Taliban and they communicate the movements of the occupying forces [U.S. and NATO] to us”
As I have explained many times, there is no orthodox Islamic sect or school of Islamic jurisprudence that does not teach the necessity of waging war against unbelievers and subjugating them under the rule of Islamic law. Consequently, it is not surprising that Muslims who are members of the government of Afghanistan will be sympathetic to the Taliban, because they see them as the exponents of authentic Islam.

The infiltration of UK universities is real – it is also happening here in Australia. In the mid nineties there was a massive upsurge in the number of Indonesian muslims studying in Australia. A large number of Malaysian muslim students also started to appear. The following is a personnel opinion, but it also appears that recruitment of staff from 2000 on has been heavily guided by absurd PC multiculturalism, which has also influenced a significant percentage of student activists and leaders. The final nail in the coffin might well have been the opening of a myriad of low cost technical colleges that have brought the possibility of an affordable education for many people from India and S.E.Asia. While the intent is noble and worthwhile, these facilities could be easily abused by Islamist thugs for Islamist purposes.
On a recent visit to Brisbane in Jan. 2009 the signs of the inability of muslims to integrate were significantly larger than in any preceding years. I was actually quite surprised at the level of “invasion” that has been allowed. The problem is growing, and unless we want to end up with a situation that can be likened to the war zones fond in French cities we need to act now. So that muslims understand the intent of this email – if you can accept the rules of OUR society you are welcome – if you place your values above ours then you do NOT belong and you WILL leave – there is NO debate on this.
When Pakistan can explain to the West how seven army officers have become billionaires – $’s not rupee – it may be time to discuss aid.
