A Brilliant Letter by Melanie Phillips

Update:

Melanie calls Warsi a stupid mouthpiece of those who are bamboozling Britain into Islamisation, and at worst a supporter of that process”.

Melanie Phillips doesn’t mince words here in her letter to  David Cameron either:


An open letter to the Rt. Hon. David Cameron MP
9 May 2011

Dear Prime Minister,

I was interested to read that, when you met Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week, you said:

‘Britain is a good friend of Israel and our support for Israel and Israel’s security is something I have described in the past, and will do so again, as unshakeable.’

I wonder, therefore, if you make a habit of threatening your friends? For you also said that unless Israel ‘engages seriously in a meaningful peace process’ with the Palestinian Authority, the more likely it is that Britain will endorse the ‘State of Palestine’ for which the PA is expected to seek recognition at the UN in September.
This is not the behaviour of a friend so much as the kind of intimidation that is more reminiscent of a Mafia protection racket.

Dr Mark Durie: Islam’s text is sugar coated in translation

Its far worse than you think:

Dr. Mark Durie explains it on the excellent Islamist Monitor site:

Non-Muslims or exMuslims who know Islam’s text in the Arabic and particularly those who know classical Arabic (few people) will tell you that the text is ‘worse’ meaning more horrifying and more deadly in the original classical Arabic than we are led to believe in English ‘translations.’   Islamic terminology carries with it concepts, cultural practices and a worldview belonging to an ancient Arab society.  The words translated into English or modern European languages fail to convey the full meaning that would be understood in an Arabic/Muslim society.  Only the original classical Arabic koran is the true text which cannot be changed and anything else is merely an interpretation and can be ‘modified.’  Dr Mark Durie a linguist and specialist in Islam explains some of the problems with our correct understanding of Islamic text which is often a translation of the ‘meaning’ as explained by the commentaries rather than a direct translation.   He notes that the real meaning can be ‘lost in translation’ with possible disastrous results as we fail to comprehend the real message in Islamic text.

Islam Rears Its Ugly Head in Australia

“The bearded men who chanted ‘Allah akbar’ as they marched roughshod on cameramen weren’t behaving normally. Their theatrics were a declaration of war – on Australia, on the media, on police.” (Herald Sun)

Carnita Matthews Supporters: "Allahu akbar, may all the pigs and Zionist dogs burn in hell inshallah"

Where would we be without the ever vigilant Aussie News & Views reports that give us so much more insight and behind the scenes information?

Andrew Bolt: Burqa-wearing Carnita Matthews, who had her jail sentence quashed after a judge said he couldn’t be sure who’d been under all that cloth, has a charming husband:

“We will eat your flesh”

THE state government is seeking advice on new laws that would extend police powers to ask traffic offenders to remove a face veil for identification….

From  Carnita Matthews husband, Ibrahim Galiel who brought us:  “…my wife has suffered”

Before you know it, another Muslim, a JP of all things, pops up and covers for her:

“JP Awad Chennaoui did not see face behind the burqa”

A 23-year-old Justice of the Peace who thought he was witnessing Muslim woman Carnita Matthews’ signature on a legal document said he never asked her to remove her full black niqab but had simply “assumed” it was her.  (The Daily Telegraph)

Miranda Devine /The Daily Telegraph

THE preposterous excuses and Pythonesque theatrics of Carnita Matthews and her thuggish supporters outside the Downing Centre Courts this week would be comic, if they weren’t so threatening.  The 46-year-old mother of seven, wearing a full black niqab showing just her eyes, has successfully tied the justice system up in knots for the past year, simply to avoid paying a $197 traffic fine.

Described as being “deliberately malicious and … ruthless” by the magistrate who convicted her last November of falsely claiming a “racist” police officer tried to tear off her veil during a random breath test, Matthews escaped her six-month jail sentence on appeal before the District Court.

Ironically, appeal Judge Clive Jeffreys could not be certain beyond reasonable doubt it was Matthews who had lodged the complaint against Senior Constable Paul Fogarty, because (drum roll) she was wearing the niqab when she arrived at Campbelltown police station last June.
“All we know is that a person with a black burqa came in with a man in a brown suit with an envelope and that’s it,” he said.

We increasingly see the same challenge issued whenever a hardline Islamist appears in court, as the call goes out for “brothers” to run “protection” for the accused.

A man claiming to be Matthews’ husband sent out the call on his Facebook page this week and later thanked:

“ALL THE HERO’S (sic) AND LIONS OF ALLAH WHOM (sic) HAD THE CHANCE TO COME TO THE COURT AND FIGHT FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH … ALLAH HAS GRANTED YOUR OPPRESSED SISTER VICTORY OVER HIS ENEMIES AND HE GRANTED US A JUDGE THAT FROM THE WORD GO HE WAS DEFENDING YOUR SISTER WHERE EVERYONE ELSE WAS DETERMINED TO SEE HER JAILED, BUT ALLAH HAD OTHER PLANS”.

His Facebook page, with the profile picture of a bloodied fist replaced yesterday by a handcuffed figure in a burqa, has messages from supporters such as: “Allah akbar, may all the pigs burn in hell inshallah”.
It features videos of Osama bin Laden, slurs against infidels and “Kufaars” (non-Muslims), “American pig savages” and “Zionist dogs”. Last weekend Ibrahim wrote:

“YA ZIONIST DOGS THERE WILL BE A DAY VERY SOON THAT YOULL FIND NO SHELTR NOR A WALL TO HIND (sic) BEHIND AND WE WILL EAT YOUR FLESH AND SPIT IT TO OUR DOGS TO CHEW OFF.”
And this: “HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO STAY WEAK, NO MORe MR NICE GUY, WE WILL DEFEND OUR iSLAM AND OUR SISTERS WITH OUR BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD.”

A video also appears with the title “8 US soldiers killed in Iraq” accompanied by the message from Ibrahim: “Keep them Comming (sic)”.

CAIRing For Jihad

Misunderstanders of Islam everywhere:

Clever:

What? Muslims again?

Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif.

Thanks, but no thanks:

In Hamas-linked CAIR’s world, jihad terrorism causes “Islamophobia,” and resistance to jihad terror also causes “Islamophobia.” Apparently we are all supposed to sit back and acquiesce to the stealth jihad to advance Sharia being pursued by Hamas-linked CAIR and other Islamic supremacist groups in the U.S.

Hizballah Operative the Right Man For Interfaith & Bridgebuilding:

Hassan Shibly has a track record of defending terrorist groups and acting as an apologist for radical Islam. Following the 2006 Israel-Lebanon War, Shibly granted legitimacy to Hizballah by characterizing it as a “resistance movement” that provides valued social services to the Lebanese people.“They’re absolutely not a terrorist organization,” Shibly said, and “any war against them is illegitimate.” (Big Peace)

CAIR Loses Tax Exempt Status

Donations to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) no longer are tax deductible after the organization was among 275,000 tax-exempt organizations purged earlier this month by the Internal Revenue Service.

Geert Wilders Inquisition: the Process Was the Punishment

As was the case with Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn in Canada, and now with Wilders in Europe, the process was the punishment.

The enemies of free speech, of Western culture and civilization, brought these men to trial before they had sufficiently rigged the system. I don’t think this point is going to be lost on them, and you can expect efforts from them to alter the legal system so that they won’t be thwarted in the future.

In a great victory for decency and sanity, the Court of Amsterdam has acquitted Geert Wilders of all charges.

Wilders remarked:

“I am delighted with this ruling. It is a victory, not only for me but for all the Dutch people. Today is a victory for freedom of speech. The Dutch are still allowed to speak critically about islam, and resistance against islamisation is not a crime. I have spoken, I speak and I shall continue to speak.”

Pamela Geller lists these as the charges against Wilders:

  1. Intentionally offending Muslims
  2. Inciting hatred against Muslims
  3. Inciting discrimination against Muslims
  4. Inciting hatred of non-western immigrants

On each, he was acquitted. It is a great victory for common sense, and a decisive defeat for the Islamic supremacist forces that have been trying to destroy the freedom of speech and compel dhimmi Western governments to label the truth about Islam and jihad as “hate speech.” But we are not out of the woods yet. The forces that were responsible for the persecution and prosecution of Wilders will not give up, and will pursue similar charges against others. We may only hope that this verdict will set a strong precedent that will make it even less likely that they will succeed in the future. Nonetheless, we will not be completely clear of this kind of Stalinist show trial until “hate speech” laws are definitively rejected as the tools of tyranny that they manifestly are.

Free at last!

Now watch how the wankers from al BeBeeCeera and the rest of the enemedia spin it:

Are you ready for a world dominated by Islamic law?

On July 9, the international political group Hizb ut-Tahrir will meet for the “UK Khilafah Conference” in London. During the gathering, meetings will focus upon ways in which a caliphate can be instituted. As The Blaze explained back in February, a caliphate is an Islamic state that draws its authority from, and is based upon, Sharia law.

CNN turns 'Egypt Air jet nearly causes collision' into "Lufthansa jet narrowly avoids collision at JFK"

Well, you don’t want to offend Arabs sensitivities… especially of those who fly jets:

Our ‘friends & allies’ in Yemen

More on this story. It is not entirely clear whether the “daggers” the inmates attacked guards with were conventional or improvised weapons. But as this report details, there was much more going on than that, and therefore an even higher level of coordination, some means of communication with the outside, and clearly a channel for contraband.

And one would assume this was purportedly a maximum- or high-security prison. “Dozens of Islamist militants tunnel out of Yemeni prison,” by Mohammed al-Qadhi and Peter Finn for the Washington Post, June 22:

SBS: Dreck For The Gullible

You call this even-handed? Refugee series is strictly for the gullible

Paul Sheehan/Sydney Moonbat Herald

One of the most passionate and enduring debates in this country has been built on a falsity, a false choice that is being carefully recrafted, repackaged and re-presented on SBS this week, at taxpayer expense.

The cast of Go Back to where you Came from.

A comment that sums up the falsity at the centre of this debate and the three-part series Go Back to where You Came From came from one of the six manipulated participants in the show, Darren Hassan, who complained that the group was being subjected to enforced empathy.

He had seen the loaded dice at the centre of the progressive argument about boat people: that if you believe in stopping the small number of asylum seekers who arrive by boat, you are lacking in empathy, lacking in compassion, and probably anti-Muslim.

The entire series is designed to enforce this maxim. The participants are lied to. The audience is lied to. This is an empathy forced march.
