F*kc the UN!
GENEVA, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) — The United Nations’ top human rights official on Tuesday criticized a Swiss ban on building Muslim minarets, saying the measure was “clearly discriminatory.”
Such a ban is “discriminatory, deeply divisive and a thoroughly unfortunate step for Switzerland to take, and risks putting the country on a collision course with its international human rights obligations,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay. Xinhua

Today’s Obama-bastard:
Obama on Afghanistan: “Resolve unwavering”…to pull out in 18 months or something
Fitzgerald: Things looking up for Israel in Europe, if only the Israelis can hold on
Until the 1967 war, many in Western Europe saw Israel — correctly — as a tiny and besieged state, surrounded by enemies who wished to destroy it. In this respect, they were helped along by the fact that the leader of those who would after the Six-Day War be carefully renamed as the “Palestinians,” were not yet called “Palestinians” but simply “the Arabs” or “the Arab refugees.” And their putative leader, Ahmed Shukairy (who was himself half-Turkish), had the habit of expressing himself as a truthful Muslim, and told the world that his goal was the destruction of Israel.
The Arab leaders said the same thing. And those Arab leaders, at the time, did not have the enormous oil wealth that the member-states of OPEC really began to acquire only in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Then they enjoyed a really fantastic jump in oil revenues, and thus an equally fantastic increase in perceived power and real ability to buy all kinds of influence along with other, more tangible goods and services, only when OPEC quadrupled the price of oil in the fall of 1973.
The Friedman narrative (delusion)
Carl in J’lem
Remember that Tom Friedman piece about ten days ago called the Narrative? Over at Pajamas Media, Moshe Dann rips him to shreds by applying the Narrative to Israel.
For many, Israel is the “oppressor of Muslims” and the “occupier of Arab land.” A reasonable conclusion might suggest the U.S. drop relations with Israel in order to improve relationships with Arabs and Muslims. This seems to be Obama’s policy — weaken Israel, force it back to the armistice lines of 1949, and arm Palestinians to the teeth.
Then, miraculously, Arabs and Muslims will embrace America’s “crusade” against Muslim countries. No more 9/11s and Ft. Hoods. A second Arab Palestinian state will make things better! No more nasty jihad!
Hardly. As smart as Friedman is, he distorts the conflict (and “The Narrative”) between Israel and Arab Palestinians by defining it as territorial rather than existential. He and his colleagues at the New York Times fail to understand the true nature of “Palestinianism,” in which Maj. Nidal Hasan believed, and its jihadist roots. Israel’s presence in any form is unacceptable, and anyone who supports Israel deserves death.
The “occupation of Palestine” did not begin in 1967; it began in 1948, when Israel was established. The root of “Palestinianism,” as Matthias Kuntzel points out in Jihad and Jew-hatred, Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11, is “the narrative” of jihad. Israel represents everything America and Western civilization stand for — democracy, tolerance, modernity — which is precisely what Islamists and jihadists despise.
Naively, Friedman calls on Muslims to promote a “positive interpretation” of Islam. Nice, if you don’t get murdered trying. And what about “liberating Palestine”?
If “ending the occupation” is a prerequisite for rapprochement, as Friedman proposes, let’s get thatnarrative straight. If “Palestinianism,” wiping out Israel, is simply another form of jihadism, then why not include that in “The Narrative”?

This is what I was afraid of – Obama is set on withdrawing troops from Afghanistan.
This is not because of the futility of trying to make a Muslim country into a civilised country, but the fact that our military involvment in any Muslim country, forces Muslims in the West to attack us from within ( Fort Hood, London 7/7, Luton). Such acts by Muslims, loyal to Islam over their loyalty to the Kuffar Western state, endangers the continued presence of Muslims in the West.
This is the reason why Obama is so keen to remove Kuffar military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, for it endangers Muslim presence in the USA. And it also the reason why I support our presence in Afghanistan.
