The Islamic Invasion

Published: July 29, 2009

A departure and a return:

In the legend of Moorish Spain, Boabdil, the last Muslim ruler of Granada, is said to have paused on a ridge for a final glimpse of the realm he had just surrendered to the Castilians. Henceforth, the occasion, and the place, would be known as El Último Suspiro del Moro, The Moor’s Last Sigh. The date was Jan. 2, 1492.

More than five centuries later, on March 11, 2004, there would be a “Moorish” return. In the morning rush hour, 10 bombs tore through four commuter trains in Madrid, killing more than 200 people and wounding some 1,500, in the deadliest terror attack in Europe since World War II. This was not quite a Muslim reconquista of the Iberian peninsula, but a circle was closed, and Islam was, once again, a matter of Western Europe.

In his “Reflections on the Revolution in Europe,” Christopher Caldwell, a meticulous journalist who writes for The New York Times Magazine and other publications, gives this subject its most sustained and thoughtful treatment to date. The question of Islam in Europe has occasioned calls of alarm about “Eurabia,” as well as works of evasion and apology by those who insist Islam is making its peace with European norms. Caldwell’s account is subtle, but quite honest and forthright in its reading of this history. “Islam is a magnificent religion that has also been, at times over the centuries, a glorious and generous culture. But, all cant to the contrary, it is in no sense Europe’s religion and it is in no sense Europe’s culture,” he writes.

It hadn’t taken long for Islam to make its new claim on Europe. Caldwell’s numbers give away the problem: “In the middle of the 20th century,” he tells us, “there were virtually no Muslims in Western Europe.” Now there are more than 15 million, including 5 million in France, 4 million in Germany and 2 million in Britain.

Ex Gitmo Inmate Hicks Gets Married

Mahmud Dawoud aka David Hicks marries in Sydney

Tim Blair – Monday, August 03, 09 

Terrorism supporter, Jew-hater and Tali-tubby David Hicks, famously rendered thin and ghostlike by five years in Gitmo – until it turned out he’d actually stacked on bunches of weight – marries peacenik Aloysia Brooks. She’s a perfect partner for someone who once fired hundreds of bullets at Indian soldiers protecting their border: 

Ms Brooks studied at the University of Sydney’s Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies and writes poetry on human rights issues. 

Hicks is something of a poet himself: 

Listen, have you got any friends 
I can f— when I get home? 
They have to be good-looking 
And I prefer big tits as well.
 

It doesn’t rhyme, but that’s modern poetry for you. 

  • Rumor has it that Dick Smith, entrepreneur and terrorist supporter, was one of the invited guests…

Empty Promises

Crackdown on 80,000 immigrant wives with free pass to Britain

By Simon Walters, Political Editor/Daily Mail

A highly controversial crackdown on immigrants accused of abusing welfare handouts is to be unveiled by Home Secretary Alan Johnson this week.

He plans to ban wives brought here, mainly from India and Pakistan, from receiving child benefit and a wide range of other state aid unless they learn English, support British values and do voluntary work in the community.

The move could affect up to 80,000 immigrants who are allowed to settle permanently in Britain each year after marrying a UK citizen.

Many come from remote villages in the subcontinent, have little formal education and cannot speak a word of English. Under existing laws, they are automatically given indefinite leave to remain after just two years.

Crucially, that qualifies them to receive state benefits, even if they never become British citizens with UK passports or learn English.

Vote KRudd or Die

Andrew Bolt – Sunday, August 02, 09 

This astonishing claim, reported as fact, appears in today’s Sunday Age:

THE Federal Government has warned that Australian icons such as the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu National Park, the Tasmanian wilderness, Carlton Gardens and the Sydney Opera House could be damaged irreparably if the Coalition fails to support Labor’s emissions trading scheme.

Can anyone at all, even Climate Change Minister Penny Wong, claim hand on heart that this is literally true – that if the Coalition votes against Kevin Rudd’s scheme that the reef will die and the Sydney Opera House will fall into ruin?

This kind of utter nonsense is now what governments argue and newspapers print about global warming.

Enough with these lies.

The Herald Sun prints the same #@*%

THE Royal Exhibition Building, the Sydney Opera House and the Great Barrier Reef could be wiped off the map if runaway climate change is left unchecked, a new Federal Government report claims.

Who Will President Obama Drum Up Hate Against Next?

Shot of the day

By Lloyd Marcus/American Thinker

obama_therewillbetaxes_160

We have all watched this scene in numerous Western movies. The sheriff says his prisoner will receive a fair trial when the judge arrives in the morning. But, one loud mouth stands on the steps of the jail house and works the crowd into a frenzy. The enraged mob breaks down the door, brutalizes the sheriff, drags out the prisoner and hangs him. It is later discovered that the prisoner was innocent. As a child watching these movies, I was amazed how people sheepishly followed one loud mouth.

I am amazed that the President of the United States uses the same technique as the loud mouth guy in the movies. To pass his stimulus package, President Obama, from his bully pulpit, has created an angry mob against corporations, executives, Wall Street and the auto industry. Thus, when he outrageously overreached his authority by firing the CEO of GM, his angry mob replied,“Yeah, yeah, get them! Let’s string them up!”
Now, to pass his health care, Obama is back on the jail house steps yelling, “Let’s drag out those dirty low down doctors! They perform unnecessary surgery on kids! And those insurance companies, they only care about profits! Are you gonna stand for that?”
The crowd, “No! No!”
Obama, “Well, what are you gonna do about it?”

Jihad on the Dole: Anjem Choudary and The Benefits of Islam

Choudary’s recruits are told that it is their Muslim duty to claim benefits, ensuring that they make no contribution to the ‘enemy’ British state.

Choudary leads by example. Now separated from his wife and three children, for years he has received more than £1,700 a month in benefits from the British taxpayer.

Islamic Supremacist Hizb ut-Tahrir Event Promoted with Beheaded Statue of Liberty

ht-malaysia-promotion
Islamic Supremacist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir’s branch in Malaysia promoted its July 26, 2009 conference for a global Islamic Supremacist Caliphate with animage of a “beheaded” Statue of Liberty and NYC in smoking ruins.   The HT web site refers to democracy as “perverted.”

The Hizb ut-Tahrir blog promoting such Islamic Supremacist conferences, such as those in Canada, U.S., and other countries, also promoted this image of violence against the United States on its blog as well.  TheHizb ut-Tahrir blog promoted this as part of “Hizb ut-Tahrir’s Global Rajab Campaign.”

This is the same Hizb ut-Tahrir blog promoting their Islamic Supremacist conference at a government-managed public facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and the Hizb ut-Tahrir blog that promoted a link to the Hizb ut Tahrir America conference in Oak Lawn, Illinois at the Hilton Hotel.

This same Hizb ut-Tahrir blog promoting the July 31 event in Canada also promotes a pamphlet (page 62)that supports killing those individuals who leave Islam as guilty of “treason and a political attack on the Khilafah.”

PRESIDENT OBAMA: THE BIGGEST ELECTORAL MISTAKE IN AMERICAN HISTORY

Saudi Fists Firmly Clenched

Appeasement Sux:

WASHINGTON – Saudi Arabia on Friday sharply rejected American calls for gestures toward Israel, a central component of US efforts to pave the way for peace talks.

“Incrementalism and a step-by-step approach has not and – we believe – will not achieve peace. Temporary security, confidence-building measures will also not bring peace,” Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said at a State Department press conference.

“What is required is a comprehensive approach that defines the final outcome at the outset and launches into negotiations over final status issues: borders, Jerusalem, water, refugees and security.”

Al Manure coming to Australia, Saudi hate-preachers spread filth in the UK

Just what we need, right?

Andrew Bolt Saturday, August 01, 2009 

Multicultural TV expands its blessings:

HEZBOLLAH’S TV station, twice banned in Australia for supporting terrorism, has been given permission to broadcast into this country after an investigation found it did not breach the anti-terrorism standard.

The Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA) decision on the Lebanese-based al-Manar TV station, announced yesterday, outraged Jewish groups, which said they were less concerned with the station promoting terrorism than its ‘‘vicious anti-Semitism’’.

Hezbollah, a militant Lebanese Muslim party, is banned in the United States as a terrorist organisation, but only its armed wing is proscribed in Australia. Its TV programs endorse suicide bombers, call for Israel’s annihilation, and refer to Jews as the offspring of pigs and apes.

Read it all and watch the videos, here…

Arabs suck the Jew-hatred in with the mothers milk. The Nullabor stooges in the British parliament know this, but Islamic hate-preachers are still welcome, while Geert Wilders and Michael Savage are denied entry. For ‘balance’ of course, to be seen as ‘even handed’… failed appeasement by the truckload…

A Liar, a fraud and a whole lot more… WHO IS THIS GUY?

The Magic Negro who fooled America

Thanks to James

Atlas Shrugs

All the things Hussein Obama and the MSM are hiding from you:


It is well known that Obama allegedly was involved with a crack whore in his youth. Very seedy stuff. Why aren’t they pursuing that story? Find the ho, give her a show!  Obama trafficked in some very deviant practices. Where’s the investigation?

He spent three weeks in Pakistan in his college days at Occidental in 1981. WTF was he doing in Pakistan in 1981? In 1979 Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was hanged in Pakistan and the military ruler Zia Ul-Haq enacted the controversial Hudood Ordinance, which was intended to implement Islamic Shari’a law, by enforcing punishments mentioned in the Quran.

Back in the early 80’s, there were only two reasons to travel to Pakistan. Jihad or drugs. I think he went for the drugs and came back with jihad. (He did, after all,  change his name to Barack Hussein Obama from  Barry Soetoro, upon his return from that trip).

Why isn’t CNN pursuing the nude pornographic photos of Obama’s mom, Stanley, (unretouched pictures here and here and here) taken in what is alleged to be Frank Marshall’s  apartment. Obama’s spiritual father, Frank Marshall Davis is a child rapist and famous communist. I never ran the pics, as it was unseemly and wasn’t relevant. But this assault on Palin is too disgusting. It’s time to tell the ugly truth about the enemy in the White House and his whores in the media. It is Obama operatives who are spreading the Palin lies. I strongly recommend that conservatives start sending emailing these family pictures. They know we won’t play dirty, so it’s time to play dirty.

Update: Obama’s Anti-Israel Diplomacy Spectacularly Fails To Win Even A Single Arab Or Muslim Concessions

Suborned in the U.S.A.  By Andrew C. McCarthy

obamajoker

Throughout the 2008 campaign, Barack Hussein Obama claimed it was a “smear” to refer to him as “Barack Hussein Obama.” The candidate had initially rhapsodized over how his middle name, the name of the prophet Mohammed’s grandson, would signal a new beginning in American relations with the Muslim world. But when the nomination fight intensified, Obama decided that Islamic heritage was a net negative. So, with a media reliably uncurious about political biographies outside metropolitan Wasilla, Obama did what Obama always does: He airbrushed his personal history on the fly.

Suddenly, it was “just making stuff up,” as Obama put it, for questioners “to say that, you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections.” “The only connection I’ve had to Islam,” the candidate insisted, “is that my grandfather on my father’s side came from [Kenya]. But I’ve never practiced Islam.” Forget about “Hussein”; the mere mention of Obama’s middleinitial — “H” — riled the famously thin-skinned senator. Supporters charged that “shadowy attackers” were “lying about Barack’s religion, claiming he is a Muslim.” The Obamedia division at USA Today, in a report subtly titled “Obama’s grandma slams ‘untruths,’” went so far as to claim that Obama’s Kenyan grandmother is a Christian — even though a year earlier, when Obama’s “flaunt Muslim ties” script was still operative, the New York Times had described the same woman, 85-year-old Sara Hussein Obama, as a “lifelong Muslim” who proclaimed, “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith.

*  Obama: The United States is “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world…”

Such was the ardor of Obama’s denials that jaws dropped when, once safely elected, he reversed course (again) and embraced his Islamic heritage. “The president himself experienced Islam on three continents,” an administration spokesman announced. “You know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father . . .” The “Muslim father” theme was an interesting touch: During the campaign, when the question of Barack Hussein Obama Sr.’s Islamic faith reared its head, the candidate curtly denied it with an air of what’s-that-got-to-do-with-me? finality: “My father was basically agnostic, as far as I can tell, and I didn’t know him.” And, it turns out, the spokesman’s fleeting bit about “growing up in Indonesia” wasn’t the half of it: Obama had actually been raised as a Muslim in Indonesia — or, at least that’s what his parents told his schools (more on that in due course).

Gitmo and the Al Qaeda Playbook

Litigation Jihad: 

Al Qaeda terrorist serving a life sentence for his part in planning a fertiliser bomb attack on mainland Britain is suing security services and the Government for up to £50,000 over claims he was tortured in Pakistan.

club-gitmo1          Terrorists live in Luxury at Guantanamo Bay

“They have arrows in the prison pointing towards where Mecca is. And the prison goes dead silent so these guys can have their religious time.”

Alleging torture when no torture has taken place is a move straight out of the Al-Qaeda playbook. When Al-Qaeda operatives are jailed, they are told to claim that they have been tortured. From the Al-Qaeda playbook:

1. At the beginning of the trial, once more the brothers must insist on proving that torture was inflicted on them by State Security [investigators ]before the judge.2. Complain [to the court] of mistreatment while in prison.

3. Make arrangements for the brother ’s defense with the attorney, whether he was retained by the brother ’s family or court-appointed.

4. The brother has to do his best to know the names of the state security officers, who participated in his torture and mention their names to the judge.[These names may be obtained from brothers who had to deal with those officers in previous cases.]…

6. During the trial, the court has to be notified of any mistreatment of the brothers inside the prison.

This game has been played the world over, but nowhere has it achieved more success than in the demonization of American personnel at Guantanamo Bay. Even the President of the United States has lent the prestige of his office to this baseless smear.

Here is an account from an eyewitness, filtered through the pen of a disapproving reporter:
