* The whole thing was rigged from the beginning: the way these trials were sabotaged by  rabid far left shysters,  armies of  lawyers on the Arab payroll, by anything from ‘Code Pink” to the ACLU and every subversive loon in the land, how could these trials get anywhere? The soldiers out on the battlefield who have to fight the murderous soldiers of Allah will never forgive us. It is a tragedy for all of us that the Gitmo-inmates have not been summarily executed.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) – A judge on Wednesday quickly granted President Barack Obama’s request to suspend the war crimes trial of a young Canadian in what may be the beginning of the end for the Bush administration’s system of trying alleged terrorists.

* So what’s next? Multi-million dollar show-trials in the OJ-tradition for Islamic headbangers?

The judge, Army Col. Patrick Parrish, issued a written order for the 120-day continuance, without even holding a hearing on the question. Another judge was expected to rule later Wednesday on a similar motion to suspend the trial of five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks.

Dutch Inquisition vs Geert Wilders

Robert Spencer:

Islamic supremacist groups in the Netherlands have kept up the pressure on lawmakers until they got the outcome they wanted. Hate speech, of course, is in the eye of the beholder, and hate speech laws are tools in the hands of the powerful that they can use to silence the powerless and crush dissent.

 Even though the Muslims in the Netherlands and elsewhere in the West present themselves as embattled victims of racism and “Islamophobia,” that is exactly what is going on here: this is just one part of the 57-government Organization of the Islamic Conference’s efforts to silence speech that they deem critical of Islam – including “defamation of Islam” that goes under the “pretext” of “freedom of expression, counter terrorism or national security.”

If they succeed in doing this, we will be rendered mute, and thus defenseless, in the face of the advancing jihad and attempt to impose Sharia on the West.

Dutch court: “prosecute anti-Islamic lawmaker!”

 Holland’s brain police choses Islam over freedom!
Wednesday, January 21, 2009

THE HAGUE, Netherlands: A right-wing lawmaker should be prosecuted for inciting racial hatred with anti-Islamic statements that include calling the Quran a “fascist book,” a Dutch court ruled Wednesday.

* Which race is Islam again?

Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders made headlines around the world in March 2008 with his film “Fitna,” which juxtaposed Quranic verses against a background of violent film clips and images of terrorism by Islamic radicals.

Who Is Allah?

American Thinker

By Soeren Kern

Europeans love to mock the salience of religion in American society, but they won’t be laughing for very long. The de-Christianization of Europe in the name of “tolerance” is rapidly driving the spiritually shiftless continent into the arms of Islam. And now, amidst the postmodern theological confusion that defines contemporary Europe, even Catholic clergy are jumping on the Islamomania bandwagon.

The latest post-Christian theological spectacle comes to us from the Netherlands (of Ayaan Hirsi Ali fame), where the Roman Catholic Bishop of Breda, Tiny Muskens, says he wants Christians to start calling God “Allah” because he believes such a gesture would promote “rapprochement between Christianity and Islam”. Appearing on Dutch television, the 71-year-old cleric said:
“Allah is a very beautiful word for God. Shouldn’t we all say that from now on we will name God Allah? … What does God care what we call him?”
Inquiring minds want to know: If the bishop really thinks the names “God” and “Allah” are interchangeable, why doesn’t he ask Muslims to start calling Allah “Yahweh”, the biblical name for God? But he won’t, because he knows they won’t.
Indeed, just because Christianity, Judaism and Islam are called “monotheistic” faiths, it does not follow that Christians, Jews and Muslims pray to the same God. So for those pre-postmoderns who believe that words still mean something, a quick survey of archaeology, history and theology-accompanied by a dose of common sense-can answer the question of whether the Allah of Islam is really the God of the Bible.

“We are still ready and capable of firing more rockets. We are developing the range of our rockets and the enemy will face more, and our rockets will hit new targets, God willing,” said Abu Obeida, the spokesman for Hamas’ military wing.

Scotland: Boy Scouts adopt Islamic pledge

boy_scout_with_oath.jpg
On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Does that include subjugating infidels — such as fellow (but non-Muslim) boy scouts? So now Muslims are opposed to the traditional boy scout pledge (surprise, surprise). Assimilation used to mean immigrants adopt the customs of the host (which seems logical since it is always the former who, of their own accord, seek residency among the latter). Now, however, it seems the opposite is in force: the hosts cater to the immigrants in the name of “multiculturalism” — or, where Muslims are concerned, dhimmitude.

Scouts will be able to pledge allegiance to ‘Allah’ rather than God and Queen.

Pakistan: Taliban blows up five more schools

The price of an education

Making good on its threats. More on this story. “Militants blow up five more schools,” by Hameedullah Khan for theDawn, January 20: via Jihad Watch

MINGORA, Jan 19: Suspected militants blew up five government schools in Swat on Monday.[…] 

Swat District Coordination Officer Shaukat Khan Yousafzai said 182 schools, most of them for girls, had been destroyed by militants, affecting over 100,000 primary- to college-level students[…]

* Dutch foreign minister: Karzai must “perform better or face a worsening Taliban insurgency”

He said one could understand the reason for which the militants were attacking security forces but destruction of schools by them could not be justified.

 

Actually, the logic of the “militants” is quite consistent: just as the government is not fully  implementing sharia law (and thus must be overthrown), so are females in school alien to sharia (and thus must be prevented).

"Sheikh" Khalid Yasin, a good ol'Harlem shyster

Khalid Yasin’s Road Show

Gates of Vienna/by Baron Bodissey

We posted a report here last week about Khalid Yasin, who was born in either Brooklyn or Harlem (depending on which source you read) and converted to Islam. Mr. Yasin spent some time in the UK and Australia, and then recently turned up in the Netherlands, where he is giving the Dutch government heartburn over the prospect of his incendiary preaching.
  

A choice quote from Khalid Yasin:

And how can you put a sacred trust in the hands of a non-Muslim? There’s no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend. If you prefer the clothing of the kafirs over the clothing of the Muslims, most of those names that’s on most of those clothings is faggots, homosexuals and lesbians.

Now it turns out that Khalid Yasin is more than simply a Muslim firebrand: he’s a good old-fashioned shyster in the venerable American tradition.  

While he was in Australia, Mr. Yasin raised money from investors for the “Purpose of Life” Islamic TV channel. But, as it happened, these investments were obtained fraudulently. Once the money was in Khalid Yasid’s hands it was used for no tangible purpose, and, when evidence of his shenanigans surfaced, Mr. Yasin was obliged to depart Australia somewhat prematurely.

From Islam in Europe

Since when are European Muslims a weapon?   Threatening that European Muslims will use violence to get their wishes is a very dangerous double edged sword.  Unless they want to be seen and treated as a foreign weapon, it is a threat that European Muslims should strongly reject.

INAUGURATIONARAMA SEWAGE WATCH:

* Tim Blair’s recorded it, unimpressed, here

“America now a nation of ‘Christians & Muslims’- and all lived happily ever after…

                                 

“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect”

 

Jihadwatch has more

Spencer said,“Good luck with that. Will he find that mutual respect reciprocated? Do the Saudis treat us with respect when they fill Islamic schools and mosques in America with material teaching hatred of Jews and Christians and the necessity to subjugate unbelievers under the rule of Islamic law? Do the Pakistanis respect us when they take our money to fight jihad terrorism and use it instead to aid jihad terrorism? Will Obama examine the reasons why that respect may not be forthcoming, and adjust policies accordingly?”

Anecdotal: His mother-in-law didn’t know the words to our national anthem (she’ll be living in the White House, right?).

My favorite Obambi line: “To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent”

How in the world did he get into power if not by following this very same method??

* Ingrid “Hijab” Mattson to Speak at Inaugural Prayer Service

She will sound a note of moderation to the public, as she has assiduously done for years, while secretly harboring and championing a radical agenda that supports Wahhabism, supports terrorists, denies the existence of Islamic extremism and blames the West for the rise of terrorists like Osama bin Laden. Is that who the Obama Administration really wants to set as an example for the rest of the country?

Melanie Phillips: War, Lies And Credulity

* First, lets have a look at the vile, corrupt parrots at the UN:

Video: UN Watch’s Hillel Neuer debunks the disproportionality canard

This video includes ‘highlights’ of the UN General Assembly ‘debate’ on Israel’s ‘disproportionate’ actions in Gaza. Once you get through the disgusting first two and a half minutes, you’ll see UN Watch’s Hillel Neuer masterfully debunk the disproportionality canard. Please don’t give up during the first two and a half minutes. You won’t be sorry.

Let’s go to the videotape.

The grotesquely misnamed Human Rights Watch, among others, has been throwing around claims that Israel has been making illegal use of phosphorus shells in Gaza. Phosphorus is permitted to illuminate the scene of battle but not for use against human targets. Israel has repeatedly denied that it is making illegal use of phosphorus. Now Peter Herby, the head of the mines-arms unit of the International Committee of the Red Cross, has told the Associated Press:
