Month: August 2009

Pamela from Atlas Shrugs:

Your State Department at Work: RESOURCES FOR RAMADAN 2009 FOR US EMBASSIES WORLDWIDE

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (here)

The Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP) has assembled a range of innovative and traditional tools to support Posts’ outreach activities during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

What is wrong with our leaders? Are they worried that they won’t be invited to those cool Ramadan parties? The Islamists have been actively at war with us for 30 years and generally at war with western civilization for well over a thousand years, and still we pay lip service to these people in a way we never did with Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan or the Soviet Union. Is it because the Muslims commit sadism and murder in the name of religion and not country? If anything, I would think that would make their evil acts all the more contemptible.

Seriously, can you imagine every Embassy and consulate putting up a Menorah and having some Rabbis as speakers via a webcast?

Can you imagine if we had the stations of the cross put on the walls of all of our Embassies, Consulates, and other posts, as well as the many DOS buildings across the country, including C street?

Can you imagine if the Buddha were revered and we had some monks coming to do a meditation session with all of the officers of each Embassy, consulate, etc.?

Why aren’t priests, pastors, etc. invited during Christmas to bless or talk about Christianity in the US?

Can we get printed and distributed Hare Krishna posters for all of our posts and reach massive audiences?

I mean, put it in reverse and see how crazy it is. Absolutely nuts.

Read it all, there’s a lot more!

Not  that the multiple acts of terrorism and atrocities that the soldiers of Allah commit every day  would have anything to do with it. Its all because we are “ignorant and have no understanding”- if we were more tolerant and accommodating everything would be just swell. Another sedative from an Islamo-agit-prop:

Pankaj Mishrah, a mental cesspool

You read this stuff and you feel as if you crawled through a sewer. No wonder believing Muslims are vile and deranged creatures.

Is Europe about to be overrun by Muslims? A number of prominent European and American politicians and journalists seem to think so.

The historian Niall Ferguson has predicted that “a youthful Muslim society to the south and east of the Mediterranean is poised to colonise – the term is not too strong – a senescent Europe”. And according to Christopher Caldwell, an American columnist with the Financial Times, whom the Observer recently described as a “bracing, clear-eyed analyst of European pieties”, Muslims are already “conquering Europe’s cities, street by street”. So what if Muslims account for only 3% to 4% of the EU’s total population of 493 million? In his book Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Can Europe Be the Same With Different People in It? – which was featured on Start the Week, excerpted in Prospect, commended as “morally serious” by the New York Times and has beguiled some liberal opinion-makers as well as rightwing blowhards – Caldwell writes: “Of course minorities can shape countries. They can conquer countries. There were probably fewer Bolsheviks in Russia in 1917 than there are Islamists in Europe today.”

…but  in Abu Dhabi it can get you in a lot of doodoo:

The defence lawyer for two Europeans who are accused of kissing in public and consuming alcohol told the court yesterday that his clients are not bound by the Sharia law that prohibits both offences.

The National UAE — Marten Youssef/Counter Jihad

IK, a Russian woman, is charged with consensual dishonour and pleaded guilty to kissing, at the first hearing last week at the Criminal Court of First Instance. The man she is accused of kissing, ZV, is facing adultery charges.

The two are among five people who are before the court facing charges of adultery, consumption of alcohol and drugs. The three men and two women have been denied bail and are awaiting a verdict in their case. It is not known how the five know one another.

IK told the court last week that the kiss was a “normal greeting kiss”, but the judge responded by saying: “Maybe it’s normal in Russia.”

Creepy Islamic Professor Watch:

The man who has been emailing me death threats over the last few days from IP address 196.201.207.17 has written this morning in defense of M. Cherif Bassiouni, Distinguished Research Professor of Law Emeritus and President Emeritus, International Human Rights Law Institute, DePaul University, who took issue with my quoting his false statements about Islamic apostasy law:

I 100% agree with what Mr Cherif has written to you. He is right, you are Extremist and islamophobic. you are hate-filled person and as far as I know you have the roots to be a ZION who are the most islam hated people.

go to hell.

It’s ironic that Bassiouni accuses me of incitement, and yet it is his invective-laden rhetoric that is echoed by a murderous thug, who obviously finds it simpatico.

Update:

Fitzgerald: More Blague from M. Cherif Bassiouni

M. Cherif Bassiouni, Distinguished Research Professor of Law Emeritus and President Emeritus, International Human Rights Law Institute, DePaul University, is not as bad as some. He does, after all, acknowledge that for more than a millennium, the four schools of Sunni jurisprudence have recognized that death is a suitable punishment for apostasy — from Islam, bien entendu, the Only True Religion.

Apostates from other faiths, to Islam, have been encouraged, not least by the constant threat of death. See K. S. Lal, among other historians, for what happened to tens of millions of Hindus under Muslim rule. Apostates from other faiths have also been encouraged by the threat of force, or the fate of being forced to endure conditions of life that, over time, many Christians and Jews and — as honorary members of the Ahl al-Kitab — Zoroastrians, escaped in the only way they could, by converting to Islam. Why, M. Cherif Bassiouni, presumably of Moroccan (Berber) descent, should perhaps begin to ponder — why not? — about the conditions that caused Berbers to become Islamized (and a great many to be arabized as well, forcibly or otherwise) in what had been a Christianized North Africa. Monica, the mother of St. Augustine, he of Hippo, was a Berber. This took place after the Arabs invaded, bringing or rather imposing “the gift of Islam” (as Azar Nafisi ironically puts it in some of her public readings and talks).

But M. Cherif Bassiouni, Distinguished Research Professor of Law Emeritus and President Emeritus, International Human Rights Law Institute, DePaul University, is illogical in pretending that his own personal opposition to death for apostates from Islam somehow modifies or weakens the fact that Islam itself teaches and inculcates (for the teaching is not so much teaching as repeated, and quite effective, brainwashing, from cradle to grave) the notion that those who leave Islam, and especially those who do not leave quietly but openly give voice to their apostasy, are to be treated as traitors, as defectors from the Army of Islam.

Trojan Horse: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration

(American Thinker)

This immigration is not to a romanticized melting pot wherein newcomers gratefully search for opportunities for a better life in liberty and freely offer their talents and loyalty to benefit their new homeland.

The Hijra

By Janet Levy

Within the past few decades, mosques have increasingly dotted the landscapes of American and European cities and towns, with mega mosques often overshadowing adjacent, centuries-old churches in predominantly Christian regions.  Islamic schools or academies and a host of Muslim organizations have become omnipresent across the West.

Meanwhile, Americans and Europeans have made countless accommodations to Muslim demands. They have included footbaths; high-decibel, five-times-daily calls to prayer; segregated male-female gym and swimming pool hours; halal food; workplace dispensations for handling pork products and for female head and face coverings; and special, public prayer rooms. Also, shari’ah-compliant financial transactions, the expunging of offensive likenesses of Mohammed or imagined depictions of Arabic characters that connote “Allah,” official swearings-in on Korans in place of customary Bibles, the neutralizing of official descriptive language about Islamists and the jihad, the revision of so-called offensive content in movies and television programs, the removal of representations of pigs from the public sphere, and many other acculturations to Muslim entreaties have all been made in the service of respecting Muslim religious beliefs and practices.

To those in Western democracies, these accommodating actions appear, on the surface, to be little more than harmless civil gestures, respecting the needs of a growing religion in their midst and welcoming a new addition to their proud, multicultural tradition.  Many Westerners pat themselves on the back for their liberal bent, their tolerance and their open-mindedness.

“My Allah is better than yours”

Andrew Bolt: Jihad against jihadists. Allah confused

My fundamentalist Islamist state is better than yours:

DIVISIONS within the Palestinian side of politics reached crisis point yesterday after 24 people were killed and more than 100 wounded in a seven-hour shoot-out in the Gaza Strip between Hamas and hardline Islamists linked to al-Qa’ida.

Security officers from Hamas, which runs Gaza, moved against Jund Ansar Allah – also known as Jihadi Soldiers of God, or Soldiers of the Partisans of God – after its leader Sheik Abdel-Latif Moussa, declared Gaza was “an Islamic emirate”.

Now, if Israel had attacked those jiahidsts… But when it’s Muslims yet again killing Muslims, it’s barely a story…
