Bastille Day Carbeques

FRANCE:

Blog for all

In the United States, we celebrate Independence Day with barbeques and fireworks. In France, they spend Bastille Day torching hundreds of cars.

* Remember: Sarkozy was elected because he promised to restore law & order…

French youths burned 317 cars and wounded 13 police officers overnight during the now traditional bout of street violence on the eve of the Bastille Day national holiday, police say.

france_riotAs French troops and their guests of honour from the Indian army made last minute preparations for the July 14 parade on the Champs Elysees in Paris, the suburbs of major cities were contemplating another clean-up operation.

By 6:00am (2pm AEST), police headquarters in Paris had recorded 317 burnt out cars – up 6.7 percent on 2008 – and 240 arrests, almost double the total for the same period last year.

These numbers were expected to increase as fresh reports came in.

The injured officers, 12 members of the police and one gendarme, were mainly suffering from hearing difficulties after being targeted by youths throwing fireworks and small-scale home-made explosives.

American Jewish “Leaders” to Meet With The Israel-Hater that they Voted for in the White House

Creepy American Jewish “leaders” (nobody elected them), are rushing to meet with the Israel-hater in the White House that they voted for. Of course, nobody in this group will admit to their mind-numbing naivete; once again illustrating, like in 1944, that American Jewish Organizations and most American Jews cannot be depended on to defend the interests of the Jewish people.But they can be depended on to hit you up for money to pay for their jobs.  NeoconExpress

Saeb Erekat: ‘Palestinians’ have time

Carl in J’lem

And you thought – because Barack Hussein Obama told you – that it’s urgent to reach a ‘Middle East peace.’ So urgent that European chief diplomat Javier Solana says if Israel doesn’t give in to the ‘Palestinians’ quickly enough, the ‘international community’ will have to impose a final solution.

Now, Saeb Erekat, ‘Palestinian’ chief bottle washer negotiator disagrees.

Ban the Burka! An open letter to Mona Eltahawy

2746532877_2dbe50ac58_o

*  Mona  Eltahawy is an award-winning syndicated columnist and an international public speaker on Arab and Muslim issues. She is based in New York. She is also a Muslimah with a blog and she detests the burka. You can google her on Wikipedia,  and when she is not too busy writing for  Puff Ho, Reuters and  The Guardian you can book her for speaking engagements. For Mona’s lecture availability and rates,write to info@monaeltahawy.com

Mona resents women who wear the freedom sack and tells them “I’m not candy”- so there’s hope. For this reason I have posted a small excerpt and a link to her recent blog-post and then added some links along with some questions below.

Very interested to hear from you, Mona, feel free to answer at your convenience, really looking forward to that!

BAN THE BURQA

By Mona Eltahawy  

International Herald Tribune

NEW YORK — I am a Muslim, I am a feminist and I detest the full-body veil, known as a niqab or burqa. It erases women from society and has nothing to do with Islam but everything to do with the hatred for women at the heart of the extremist ideology that preaches it.

“As a Muslim woman and a feminist I would ban the burqa.”

A bold statement, Mona. So you don’t agree with Sheikh Saleh Al-Shamrani? Is your Islam the correct one or does the good sheikh read another Koran?

Russians Refuse to Shake Hands With Hussein Obama

H/T Weasel

Update: apologies! Reader Realist pointed out correctly that it was Obama who introduced his team to the Russians, not that he was snubbed, although that would be unsurprising. We let it stand anyhow, just as an example of how easy one can be deceived, even with a video.

Just like Condi Clueless, when she waltzed in on Gaddafi who  promptly snubbed her. She paid reparations made American taxpayers bleed anyway, on behalf of the equally clueless Bush administration. (Remember, Reagan bombed Gaddafis palace after god-knows-how-many terrorist attacks including Lockerbie.)

Don’t these people ever learn?

Al Gore sued by over 30,000 Scientists for Global Warming fraud

Nice Try: “Will trade carbon credits for sex…” Believers will buy it…

Update: Australian Senator Steve Fielding wants to convince Al Gore he’s wrong

Al Gore sued by over 30,000 Scientists for Global Warming fraud John Coleman

Andrew Bolt, update:

Al Gore lies on ABC television – or at least deceives by omission – about criticism of his wildly alarmist An Inconvenient Truth: 

HEATHER EWART: There was also, though, a British judge who ruled that there were in fact, I think, nine errors when it was challenged in court?

AL GORE: Well, the ruling was in my favour.

Pardon? Here, in fact, is what the judge actually said ”in favour” of Gore’s film:

 

However, as will be seen, some of the errors, or departures from the mainstream, by Mr Gore in AIT in the course of his dynamic exposition, do arise in the context of alarmism and exaggeration in support of his political thesis…

And which nine errors did the judge identify? Read on…

 

FARMERS have lost faith in long-term weather forecasts because they’re unreliable, the South Australian Farmers Federation said…

“The scale of current models make them unreliable measures…”

Robert W. Endlich: Let’s deal with the facts on global warming

Professor Paul Kengor isn’t surprised that Al Gore last week likened fighting global warming to fighting Nazis:

How can anyone take this man seriously? Well, the fact is we’ve done just that for almost 20 years…

Gore: you will be globalled: climate bill will help bring about “global governance”

The Sun And the Oceans Do Not Lie–The Global Warming Moonbats Do

Yid with Lid

Maybe what Gore should do is convince Mother Nature to cooperate, because the dire predictions of the “Church of Global Warming Moonbats” are not coming true. For example, according to the United States Weather Bureau:

A "Crisis of Belonging"- What Else Could it Be?

NY Times ascribes “radicalization” of Minneapolis jihadists to “a crisis of belonging”

*  You still believe it  “depends on how welcome we make them feel in the wider community?”

But at the same time it can’t help but notice that there was a religious dimension to their deciding to return to Somalia and wage violent jihad. And no one, you’ll note, seems to have stopped them and said, “Wait a minute! Islam is peace!”

Yeah, but what about Sotomayor’s ability?

 Race now trumps talent: Traditionally Hispanics have lower average education and so many of them work in America’s service industry… So you can see why it makes good sense to have Sonia Sotomayor on the Supreme court. Like Obama her face is a message to all Americans.

Obama’s Books Banned From US Prisons– TOO RADICAL

Sample: “white folks’ greed runs a world in need…”

But, he’s a moderate.

Thank You State-Run Media For Vetting This Radical Before the Election.

The wife is even more moderate:

michelleobama_communistBarack Obama’s books were recently banned from the US government’s most secure prison.
The radical language in the books make them “potentially detrimental to national security.” The Koran is not seen as detrimental to national security- not yet. Wonder how long it takes to smell the coffee…

Capitalism Rocks, Africa Doesn't…

Mark Steyn: 

Africa needs business, not showbusiness

deadaid

Africa is a hard place to help. I had a letter from a reader the other day who works with a small Canadian charity in West Africa. They bought a 14-year-old SUV for 1,500 Canadian dollars to ferry food and supplies to the school they run in a rural village. Customs officials are demanding a payment of $8,000 before they’ll release it.

Winds of Jihad reader eloivsdiablo has ‘done his bit’  and got a response from the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Chris Evans, or rather his assistant, Stewart Foster, concerning  Muslim asylum seekers.

The wording of the response is -almost- identical to the response sheik yer’mami received a few years ago when he wrote a letter to then Immigration minister Philip Ruddock:

Outrage? Where is the Outrage?

Outrage over UK police move to go soft on Muslim extremists to prevent further radicalisation

London, July 11 : In a bid to stop Muslim extremists from becoming more militant, the UK Government is set to issue a guideline for police, directing them not to charge them in many hate crime cases, a move that has created outrage amongst critics.

Oh really?  So what are these outraged sheeple doing about it? More…

How the Dollar Works (and Why Current Policy Will Wreck it and the Economy With It)

Australian Universities: a Study in Shams and Scams

H/T Bolt:

AUSTRALIA’S lust for high-dollar Indian students has led to a thriving black market in sham marriages, forged English language exams and bogus courses, and turned a once-respected international education sector into a recognised immigration racket.

While the federal government and industry work to repair the damage caused by a recent spate of attacks on Indian students in Australia, education agents say the violence has shone a light on a $14 billion industry riven with corruption.

“Community Organizers”-preparing Australia to become a Peoples Republic

Andrew Bolt Monday, July 13, 2009

Reader Brendan notes a change in the color of the book now being waved by precisely the same kind of people:

About 1500 Australians aged 16 to 26 are descending on the University of Western Sydney to learn about organising and to hear speeches from Tim Flannery, senators Nick Xenophon and Christine Milne, the NSW Premier, Nathan Rees, and via video link from Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the United Nations panel on climate change, and the former US vice-president Al Gore, who is training an older generation of climate change campaigners in Melbourne this weekend. 

Over three days Power Shift attendees will learn “Camp Obama” style strategies from a manifesto called The Little Green Book, such as recruiting first-time voters and targeting awareness campaigns at marginal seats in the federal election next year.
