Briton jailed for kiss in Dubai condemns Emirate’s ‘hypocrisy’

The British estate agent jailed for “a peck on the cheek” in Dubai has condemned the “hypocrisy” of the Emirate’s strict decency laws as she told how she was locked up with murderers and prostitutes in an isolated desert prison. Telegraph UK

Why are Liberals so quick to excuse Islamic terrorism.

eye on the world

This past weekend I happened to come this article (On the bBC website) about how a bunch of wannbe terrorists in the UK who were jailed earlier on this year (but released almost straight away for time served) for practising with weapons in the Uk under the banner of ”The Blackburn Resistance”

It seems that according to the liberals at the BBC these men are victims and that all they were doing was actually re-enacting their favourite TV shows such as the ‘A-team’. If that is so why is it that when the Police had a butchers at these so called victims computers they found beheading videos on the Hard-drives. The last I looked the A team didn’t lob off anybody’s head. But according to the liberal media these idiots are victims. Which is how this buffoon see’s Faisal Shahzad,(Times Square bomber) who instead of being a failed terrorist he promotes him as a dumb bomber so thus unable to tagged as a terrorist.

Why are all terrorists deemed to be stupid by the liberal classes so unable to be found guilty of their crimes and thus worthy of our pity. The sole aim of these people is to promote their agenda of global dominance for Islam and it doesn’t matter if the thug who is terrorising you is a kinder garden drop out or somebody who excelled at Harvard. The fact remains that blind allegiance to Islam ensures that they consign common sense and decency to the back when it comes killing somebody for Allah. Stupid..maybe Innocent..Never in a month of Sundays.

When I discovered that you will be passing through Syria, my heart leapt with joy!

Once upon a time Syria had what we call civilization. Then came Islam….

Nothing would make me happier than to give you some background on the“fortress of the remaining dignity of the Arabs” and its people who stand as one in solidarity behind “the last Arab ruler”, Dr. Bashar Al Assad.

It would be an honour for me to guide you on your way, and share with you all some secrets that aren’t in the guidebooks.

It looks as if you’ll be taking the main North–South route which takes you through Aleppo, Hama, Homs and Damascus and then on to Jordan.

Once you’ve passed through the checkpoint at Turkey, it’s pretty much plain sailing. And if you have some free time (and can get away from your “escorts”), it’s worth taking a drive to surrounding areas in the north of the country.

In the upper northeast of Syria lies the Kurdish town of Qamishle. Syria’s 1.7 million Kurds reside mainly in the northeast.

Kurds? After all Syria is officially named the Syrian Arab Republic.

So how does Syria treat this minority?

Roughly 300,000 of them are denied citizenship thus denying them the right to education, employment, property ownership, and even marriage.

Nor are they allowed to speak, write or print their own language and their culture cannot be expressed openly.

Odd, isn’t it? Mind you, as everybody knows the Zionist Entity is much much worse. Palestinians have no access to education, cannot work, purchase property or get married. It even bans Palestinians outright from speaking, reading and writing Arabic.

Oh wait. I may be wrong here….

Stateless Kurds who try to leave the country for work risk torture and imprisonment.

To be honest, it reminds me of a two-tier political system in which one group in a country is denied the rights which another enjoys. Though I seem to have forgotten its name. Ap… App… Ah! Apartheid! That’s it!

Also it’s worth noting that the Syrian government removed Kurds from along the country’s northern and northeastern borders, and replaced them with Arab settlers.

Oh dear. This is a bit awkward isn’t it? Apartheid? Settlers?
Aren’t we supposed to be against this sort of thing? Maybe it’s best if we ignore it, as it seems to complicate things.

Here are some other things we maybe should ignore.

I know! Let’s change the subject. Do you like football? They love football in Syria. You should try and attend a game if possible.

In March of 2004 disturbances erupted at a football game in Qamishlo (its Kurdish name) over rivalry between Kurdish and Arab teams. Scores of people, probably over a hundred, were killed by Syrian police using live ammunition to fire on unarmed crowds (see Kurdish agony – the forgotten massacre of Qamishlo). Violence on a smaller scale has continued to erupt in Qamishlo.

A Kurd defaces a poster of the late Syrian dictator Hafez Al Assad during disturbances in Qamishlo in 2004

Here are photos of some of those killed by the Syrian security forces.

We’d better move on. This is making things difficult. We’re going to all this trouble to stand up against injustice and oppression and yet the Zionists may accuse us of turning a blind eye to much worse.

Ah! I know. Let’s go south. To Hama, you’ll be traveling through it. You will love it there.

It’s one of Syria’s most beautiful cities, famous for its water wheels sitting on the tree-lined Orontes River. Yet for such an old city strangely it looks so modern.

I tried asking people about that but nobody there was keen to give me an answer. I’m sure they have their reasons. Around 30,000 – 40,000 of them.

Passing through Homs, if you have a day off it’s worth traveling east to Palmyra, home of some of the world’s greatest historical sites.

It’s also home to a prison which carries Palmyra’s old name Tadmour. It’s rumoured that Lebanon’s abducted are imprisoned there.

Or they may be dead. Best not to think about it, it’s probably Zionist propaganda. Instead let’s go on to Damascus.

Twenty miles outside Damascus lies Saydnaya prison. Here, as you can see, conditions for prisoners are much better than those in Zionist Occupation prisons. Here prisoners have regular visits, human rights organisations have access and any accusation of ill treatment and torture is immediately dealt with.Or not.

When you get to Damascus, you will be pleasantly surprised by its openness and its citizens enjoy a level of freedom which is the envy of the world.

Bloggers flourish in this new atmosphere of openness.

If you get a chance do try and speak to Tariq Biasi or Karim ‘Arabji.

From Damascus it’s a relatively short journey to the Jordanian border.

I hope you’ll have as wonderful a time in Syria as I did. It changed my life. I met so many wonderful people in Syria– Arab, Sunni, Shia, Druze, Kurd, Armenian, and Assyrian– all of whom deserve the very same freedoms and rights which we take for granted.

I am so overjoyed that you recognise that human rights are indivisible and must be applied to all. It’s great that you understand that selective indignation at abuses which fit a simple narrative of events– while ignoring the much worse crushing of human rights and people’s dignity because it doesn’t quite fit the script– is nothing other than the worst sort of cowardice and hypocrisy.

Keep fighting the good fight against oppression and apartheid in the Middle East wherever it may be.

It won’t be easy, there will be pressure on you to deny and ignore anything inconvenient and speaking out is not without consequence.

When you’re tempted to select the easy options of denial or rationalisation, please remember that we can speak out without fear of disappearing, or worse. Syrians can’t.

You’re their lifeline to outside word, a lifeline which cuts through all the propaganda, lies and denial.

For that I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability.

Yours in Solidarity,

DaveM

Scholars from a country that doesn’t allow churches or synagogues slam Swiss minaret ban

Robert Spencer explains the twisted  psyche of the Muselman:

Hypocrisy. That is, it is hypocrisy from a Western point of view. As far as these “scholars” are concerned, Islam is the truth, its truth is self-evident, and therefore the Swiss are obligated to accommodate it in a way that the Saudis are not obligated to accommodate non-Muslim religious observance.

Brazil is experiencing an Islamic boom, with reliable estimates indicating that the Muslim population has increased from a few hundred thousand to 1.5 million this decade alone, out of a total population of 190 million. This is clear as mosques emerge throughout the country, some financed by Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. More from the Scotsman

I really think we should have similar laws re Islam in Europe, Australia & the US:

17 people including one Swiss citizen have been arrested in Marocco, accused of trying to spread Christianity.

According to the Moroccan interior ministry, authorities intervened after hearing about evangelical missionary efforts. They feared that the mission could lower the religious values of the kingdom.

The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs has not yet confirmed the arrest of the Swiss. The other detainees, are said to be from Guatemala, South Africa and Morocco itself.

                          Hypocrisy

Edgar Davidson

When Jews are brutally murdered in places like France and Yemen for no reason other than they are Jews, the (non-Jewish) media totally ignores it. Yet yesterday the media (including CNN, BBC, Fox news) was saturated with news of the story of a Muslim woman who was murdered in a German courtroom. “The Headscarf Martyr” had sued her neighbour for calling her a ‘terrorist’ and it was the accused who knifed her to death in court. News bulletins last night showed, for example, mass demonstrations in Egypt calling for revenge against the German government for allowing such an anti-Muslim crime to happen.

* Predictably, Australia’s sharia-shyster Yusuf Irfan, who somehow just can’t get over “Abu Ghraib”,  rubs it furiously, here…

Now, notwithstanding the curious issue of why the act of insulting a Muslim in Germany should have resulted in a major court action (you can imagine that the neighbour might have been pretty riled by that) this was clearly a terrible crime. But was it less horrific and racist a crime than one that was announced on the same day and which received precisely zero coverage in the non-Israeli media. I refer to the story of a cab driver (Grigory Rabinovich) in Israel brutally murdered by two Palestinians who claimed “We killed cabbie because he was a Jew” They reportedly got into Rabinovich’s cab in Ashdod and asked to be taken to a desolate spot.
The Palestinians told investigators that they punched Rabinovich in the face and head at which point they put him in the trunk of his taxi. They said that when he regained consciousness they decided to kill him, and strangled and beat him to death. The police described the injuries as truly horrific.Of course what might have made it onto the BBC news would have been if the cab driver had refused to give a lift to two Arabs to a desolate spot for fear of what they might do to him. That, of course, would have been a real case of racism and anti-Muslim stereotyping. Al-Jezeera would have dedicarted a 2-hour documentary to that.      

Similarly, can you imagine how the world’s media would react if Israel refused entry to a Muslim on the basis that they are wearing a veil? Well don’t hold your breath expecting to hear in the UK about the story of  Jordan denying entry to Israeli with Jewish prayer items. This is the same Jordan which supposedly has a peace treaty with Israel, yet is responible as much as any country for promulgating the myth of Israel as an apartheid state, while it actually has enshrined in its constitution a law that no Jew can be a citizen of the state.

• We’ve had the British transport police told not to use sniffer dogs on Muslims.
• We’ve seen how Police dogs which search mosques will have to wear socks so as not to touch hallowed ground.
• And we’ve had Muslims object to a cute puppy being used on a report crime poster because Muslims found it offensive.

This from a Guy that sat in a church for 20 years and listened to the anti-semetic Preacher who just 4 days ago had this to say  in an exclusive interview at the 95th annual Hampton University Ministers’ Conference Wright sounds off on Obama and ‘Jews’, Wright told the Daily Press that he has not spoken to his former church member since Obama became president, and he implied that the White House won’t allow Obama to talk to him.

Here’s Reverend Wright’s full statement to the Hampton Road Press’ David Squires. It’s even worse than what was reported.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfYTcYDGrdU[/youtube]

“Them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me,” Wright said. “I told my baby daughter that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office.”

Tell me someone – what will it take for decent Liberal Jews to admit they made a mistake and help expose this Charlatan. Yes we must remain doubly vigilant from  a double-talker.

Meet the New York Slimes’ New Political Columnist

By Debbie Schlussel

Remember Bono? He’s the guy who paid $1,700 to fly his favorite hat–yes, really, his hat!–First Class to a concert he played in Iraq in 2003.

Now, the U2 lead singer has been hired by the New York Times to lecture us in op-ed columns on topics like Africa and poverty.

Yeah, we really need a guy who wears $5,000 Chanel sunglasses, lives high on the hog, and wastes money to fly his hat First Class to lecture us about poverty. Just like we needed him to tell us–along with his stooge, fellow hypocrite, Mr. Angelina Jolie a/k/a Brad Pitt–that we, the American taxpayers are stingy and don’t give enough to charity.

Hypocrite Bono–with his His Jet-Setting Hat–Now New York Times PunditJust like we needed Bono to tell us that we Americans should forgive trillions of dollars in debt owed to us by countries like Terrorist State Sudan (which hosted Bin Laden for years while he planned our destruction and blew up our embassies). This is all despite the fact that financial statistics consistently show that America is the most generous country there is and that American citizens, on average are more generous than anyone in the world.

I’ve had more than enough of limousine, private jet liberals–especially wasteful celebrity hypocrites–telling hard-working Americans how their money must be spent.

Sadly, Bono was courted by not just the Clintons but every high-ranking member of the Bush Administration, including the star-struck President, himself. They, Jesse Helms, and pseudo-conservative Laura Ingraham repeatedly slobbered and gushed over this fraud in rose-colored (in his case literally) glasses.

Here’s a quote Ingraham features on her website:

Ingraham is smart to see the value in talking about global and national issues with [U2's frontman Bono] who is, not only in the spotlight, but has the respect and admiration of so many listeners.

Bush, with Bono by his site, announced he was forgiving a good deal of American taxpayer money owed by Terrorist Sudan and other countries ruled by despots.

Yes, faux-conservatives like Bush and Ingraham–not liberals–legitimized Bono, which led him on the path to this new gig.

Would love to read an op-ed by Bono about how and why he doesn’t pay a dime of taxes in his native Ireland (under a tax break for artists and entertainers), and why he feels people who actually do pay their share here in America should pay for him to feel good in his has-been days.

I’d love to hear in an op-ed why Bono employed a convicted IRA terrorist as his bodyguard, or why–if he’s so concerned about the poor and downtrodden–right after the 9/11 attacks, he and U2 skipped a scheduled concert performance to raise money for the familes of fallen heroes’ and victims’ families, but then showed up to a paid gig at Madison Square Garden, lecturing concertgoers to have “empathy for Muslims. They go to church, too.” Really? And I thought it was a mosque. But what do I know?

More recently, Bono shilled for Gitmo Islamic terrorist David Hicks who worked for the Taliban pleaded guilty to trying to murder American soldiers in Afghanistan.

I’d also like to know why he–if he’s so concerned about the downtrodden–he pursued an extensive lawsuit against a destitute former assistant to get $5,000 in clothes he gave her twenty years ago.

Since his American concert tours are among the most successful in recent years,grossing upwards of $260 million, maybe he’ll write about just how much of that he, himself, gives to charity, instead of constantly schnoring [Yiddish for "mooching"] from America and calling them “stingy” and “cheap”.

Bono’s “Red” campaign to raise money for debt forgiveness and AIDS relief in Africa–with all of its fanfare on Oprah, at The Gap, and elsewhere–was a huge failure, just like his wife’s eco-friendly clothing line, Edun, is. I predict the third strike with his hypocrisy in print on the pages of the New York Fishwrap. Sadly, unlike in baseball, the three strikes won’t mean he’s out.

What’s next–the New York Times inviting Elizabeth Taylor and Baba Wawa to give us tips on how to have a successful marriage? Maybe George Michael and Clay Aiken can write about what it’s like to be a heterosexual on the pages of the “Newspaper of Record,” too.

I have an even better idea: Jeffrey Dahmer can arise from the dead and write the New York Times food column.

I repeatedly come back to the one-time quote from Kiss’ Gene Simmons a/k/a Chaim Witz, who unfortunately doesn’t take his own advice:

We don’t comment on whales and the rain forest. We don’t try to be ambassadors to Bosnia. Duh. You need a rock star for that? Some idiot who couldn’t tune a guitar six months ago is now an environmental specialist? I blame media for giving rock stars more credence than they deserve. Why don’t they ask Al Gore how to play bass?
