Of course not. Prosecuting Islamic piracy would seriously enrage the ummah, which would be hampered in their efforts to wage jihad. All the more reason why the West has to get its act together and why we need a strong America….
MOMBASA, Kenya — A Muslim judge (Judge Mohammed Ibrahim) in Kenya’s second-highest court said Tuesday that the country does not have jurisdiction to try pirates if attacks have taken place outside Kenya’s waters, a decision that could harm U.S. and international efforts to have pirates tried in East Africa.

SOMALI Pirates have bucked the recession and earned an impressive £7.5m in mooring fees for Samho Dream, a South Korean oil tanker carrying $170m of crude and 24 crew (5.8m) and Golden a Singaporean flagged ship with 23 Chinese crew (£1.7m).  (Source)
Editor’s note: The following outline was obtained by The Blaze from Glenn Beck’s TV team. It is the background document they used to produce Tuesday night’s George Soros expose. It has been edited for form but not content:
BACKGROUND
“Messianic Fantasies”
“It is sort of a disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out,” (The Independent, June 3, 1993)
“I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of self-importance –to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes or, even better, a scientist like Einstein,” (The Alchemy of Finance, George Soros)
According to friend Byron Wien (now with the Blackstone Group), “You must understand he thinks he’s been anointed by God to solve insoluble problems. The proof is that he has been so successful at making so much. He therefore thinks he has a responsibility to give money away,” (Time Magazine, Sept 1, 1997)
“If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood which I felt I had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin. But when I made my way in the world I wanted to indulge myself in my fantasies to the extent that I could afford.”

KROFT: Are you religious?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: Do you believe in God?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: (Voiceover) Soros told us he believes God was created by man, not the other way around, which may be why he thinks he can smooth out the world’s imperfections.
Netanyahu is a lonely voice speaking the truth in an increasingly insane world. “Netanyahu Sharply Insists on Building in Jerusalem,” by Ethan Bronner in the New York Times, November 9 (JW)
JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office sharply rejected international criticism of Israel’s most recently announced building plans in East Jerusalem, saying in a statement: “Jerusalem is not a settlement: Jerusalem is the capital of the State of Israel.”
Here again Obama speaks about what the U.S. has done and must do to overcome the Islamic world’s mistrust. He doesn’t say anything about Muslims working to eradicate the jihad doctrine and Islamic supremacism, and thus helping overcome American mistrust of the Islamic world. In Obama’s world, the conflict between the West and the Islamic world is all America’s fault — and Israel’s, of course. “Obama in Indonesia: Much work needed on Muslim ties,” from the BBC, November 9 (JW)
AP still tries to sell Obama as a”Christian”– Â calls Indonesia “an overwhelmingly Muslim nation where other religions are respected freely and an evolving democracy is gaining strength despite a legacy of corruption.”
RARELY in history has any society been as supine as modern Britain in the fact of a mortal threat.(Leo McKinstry)
Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson.
Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.
They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent – which included wearing Muslim headgear – was a breach of their human rights. Â Â (Daily Mail)
Misunderstanders of Islam comment:
“I am not racist, I’ve been friendly with an Indian for 30 years. I’ve also been to a Muslim wedding where it was explained to me that alcohol would not be served and I respected that. (Islam is not a race, but conflating Islam with race has been a very successful strategy in the UK and works every time.)
“But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion there would be war.” (you bet!)
No Moe Naik
Readers will be glad to hear that the hate preacher, Zakir Naik, will not be returning to the United Kingdom.
Awlaki? Never heard of him…. who  would have thought? He was a moderate before he became a radical:
The lies about Anwar al Awlaki are coming thick and fast from his apologists and past promoters. “Oh no, he wasn’t radical in the past, it was being imprisoned in Yemen [in 2006-2007] that changed him” is the basic line. He was just wonderful when he was in Britain in 2003 and 2004, don’t you know. (HP)
She would like to pick and chose, but hijack his agenda? Â No. Â Merkel simply hasn’t got what it takes:
Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders says German Chancellor Angela Merkel is copying his politics. In an interview with German magazine Der Spiegel, the anti-Islamic MP said Chancellor Merkel is scared that a charismatic figure able to attract 20 percent of the vote will emerge in Germany.
He said traditional parties feel threatened by his movement and that is why they are copying him. He pointed out that Dr Merkel recently declared Germany’s multicultural society a failure and CSU leader Horst Seehofer said he does not want any more Turkish or Arabic immigrants.   (Continued below the fold>>>)
Meanwhile, in Holland the Corrupt Judiciary Has Lost the Plot
The Infighting has begun:Judges divided after challenge by Wilders
Because of the challenging of the criminal chamber [in the Wilders trial] and other recent incidents involving judges, more and more magistrates are ashamed of their profession. “There are colleagues who don’t sleep well, ‘there goes our job’ they fear,” said one of them. “Other judges prefer to conceal their profession at parties.” Â Read the rest: Intramural Conflict Among Amsterdam’s Judges from the Gates of Vienna

35 Iraqis hurt in Baghdad church attack arrive in France
Thirty-four Iraqi Christians and a Muslim guard wounded in a deadly Al-Qaeda attack on a Baghdad church just over a week ago flew into France late Monday for admission to hospitals for treatment.
Bearing bullet and grenade wounds from the October 31 attack, they arrived at Orly airport outside Paris on a plane dispatched to Iraq earlier Monday to collect them, an AFP reporter said.
The group, travelling with 19 companions, was welcomed at the airport by French Immigration Minister Eric Besson who said at the weekend it fitted France’s “tradition of asylum” to take them in. (Expatica)
“This is the first war in history which has ended with the victors [Israel] suing for peace and the vanquished [Arabs] calling for unconditional surrender.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban following the 1967 Six-Day War
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (Ma’an) — Palestinians will have the final word if negotiations with Israel fail, President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday.
Speaking at the first Sir Bani Yas Forum on Peace and Global Security in Abu Dhabi, Abbas said Palestinians had complied with a number of international resolutions, while Israel had not complied with any. “We met our obligations, but you [Israel] did not, and so we will be discharged from obligations.” Ya think?

If I sat in the pews of a synagogue for over two decades and the rabbi spewed forth anti-black venom repeatedly, one might just surmise that I had no problem with those sermons. Reverend Jeremiah Wright was (and is still) like family to Obama, and together with Wright’s other good friend, the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farakhan, were rabid Jew-baiting mentors to the current leader of our nation. It was not for nothing that Obama was called the messiah by Farakhan. (Barenaked has the whole thing)
Jerusalem area Arabs once again have stoned two Israeli Magen David ambulances trying to help neighbors. This time, the medical rescue vehicles were trying to save an Arab boy who fell five floors from his home in El Azaria, a village between the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of French Hill and nearby Maaleh Adumim.

Pallywood Ambush
A good analysis of the sort of abuse that Palestinians subject their children to, for a cheap media propaganda stunt.
I wrote this last December: “One thing we have seen over the years since 9/11 is that airport security is always one step behind the jihadists: after jihadist Richard Reid attempted to set off a bomb hidden in his shoes, we all have to take off our shoes and send them through security scanners. After a group of jihadists tried to sneak onto planes explosive chemicals hidden in drink bottles, we can’t carry drinks through airport security terminals. Because Abdulmutallab attempted his jihad attack just before the plane landed, now we can’t get up during the last hour of the flight. The one thing that the TSA should have learned, but hasn’t, is that next time the jihadists will do something else, not just repeat what they did before. And even if every passenger were given a full body cavity search, they will find some way to get around it. But attempt a new approach based on sensible profiling? The TSA would rather fold up shop altogether.”
This new measure won’t stop a single jihad terror attack. Confronting the ideology and belief-system that motivates such attacks might do that, but there is no way Napolitano is going to do that.

Indian Muslims pleased with Hussein Obama’s Remarks on Jihad
He wouldn’t be a Muslim if he didn’t know how to lie:
President Obama’s remarks on the real meaning of “jihad” and the exploitation of Islam by extremists has gone over well with Muslim activists and opinion-makers in India. (Fox News)
In reality, we don’t know whether “the overwhelming majority of the more than 1 billion Muslims in the world see their religion as one that reaffirms “peace and justice and fairness and tolerance.”
In reality, Â “Peace” means something completely different to Muslims, ” justice” means sharia, “fairness” is that we pay the jiziya with willing submission while feeling subdued, and tolerance means that we don’t oppose the spread of Islam and Islamic law.
The Gates of Vienna dissects the Obaminators deceit, here:
Peace means “complete submission to Allah”. Those who submit live in the House of Submission, Dar al-Islam. Those who don’t submit live in Dar al-Harb — the House of War. This is codified in Islamic law, and it enjoys the consensus of the scholars.
Justice means “carrying out the tenets of Sharia law in their entirety”. This includes the stoning of adulterers, the chopping off of the hands of thieves, and the beating of recalcitrant wives. It’s in the Koran.
Fairness means “the equal treatment of all under Islamic law”. But “all” means “all Muslims”. Non-believers are not covered by fairness. Once again, the Koran is very explicit about excluding infidels from the benefits enjoyed by the faithful.
Tolerance means “the acceptance of all people, no matter what their race or nationality, who abide by the laws of Allah as handed down by his messenger”. Do you think that means tolerating Buddhists? Or lesbians? Think again.
NEW CONGRESSMAN ALLEN WEST SAYS HE’LL JOIN BLACK CAUCUS: ‘ABSOLUTELY’
A black knight among the race-baiting Marxist grievance mongers? I’ll pay to see that show!
Newly-elected Florida Congressman Allen West (R) said that he will “absolutely” join the historically Democratic Congressional Black Caucus when he gets to Washington in January.
“Oh, absolutely right,” West told CNN in response to a question of whether he would join. “I think I’m more than qualified. I am a congressmember-to-be, and I am black, so I think that I have every right to be a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Unless all the sudden before I get there they decide to change the name.”
