Arab Spring (chickens coming home to rrooost!)

Syrian opposition army imposes jizya on Christians in Homs

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29

Muslim spokesmen in the West routinely claim that this verse has no applicability in the modern world. Here are yet more Muslims who didn’t get that memo:

Tunisia:

Islamic supremacists destroy crosses in cemetery, smear feces on church fresco, demand that priest convert to Islam or pay jizya

Egypt:

Muslim Brotherhood puts up second presidential candidate

Their first choice may not be allowed to run, which may have something to do with his previously having been jailed “on charges of terrorism and money laundering.” And remember, he’s the front-runner.

Israel:

Eldad: End Centuries of Muslim Occupation in Judea and Samaria

Lets end the occupation! I am in favor of ending the Muslim occupation that began in the seventh century and establishing a Palestinian state in Jordan. This might have been questioned a few years ago but after what is called the Arab Spring, it is becoming increasingly likely. After Bashar Assad falls in Syria, Jordan will be next and it will become the Palestinian state it already is.

Egypt-Israel pipeline sabotaged again

“This is the 14th sabotage since the beginning of the revolt that toppled Hosni Mubarak.” You’d almost get the idea that someone in Egypt doesn’t want the Israelis to have gas. Naaah, that couldn’t possibly be true of the shiny new Arab Spring democracy, now, could it?

If wishes were horses and beggars could ride:

Palestinian Authority minister: Palestinians should unite to focus on the destruction of Israel

The “Palestinians” use this kind of genocidal rhetoric consistently, yet the world just as consistently ignores it and assumes that if they’re given a state, they will not use it as a jihad base to press forward toward the total destruction of Israel, but will instead live in peace with the Israelis. That fantasy-based policymaking is dominant in Washington and Western Europe.

Feces of “Palistan”

In “Faces of Palestine,” illustrator Bosch Fawstin captures the true countenance of the Palestinian movement. The statements that accompany these faces, equally contorted with hate, are atrocities waiting to happen. They show that the Middle East “conflict” arises less from a longing for nationhood than for a thirst for blood.
