Jakarta Hotel Bombings: "Muslims wouldn't do a thing like that…"

Quote of the Day:

Islam is not Christianity…  Islam is the religion of agitation, revolution, blood, liberation and martyrdom.

-Sheikh Morteza Motahari, quoted in “Islamic Movements in the Last One Hundred Years,” Tehran, 1979

The Australian:  Drew Warne-Smith 

A MAN in a suit and baseball cap with a backpack on his chest and carrying a suitcase walks awkwardly into the Ritz-Carlton’s sprawling Airlangga restaurant just before 8am.

Moments later, the hotel’s closed-circuit television footage shows the large open doorway to the restaurant erupt with glass, debris and smoke as a bomb is detonated inside at 7.57am. Shards of glass rain down on the streets of Jakarta’s upmarket Mega Kuningan business district like confetti.

* Counter Jihad has video of a suicide bomber blowing himself up, here

The flickering footage from the second floor of the luxury hotel shows people in the doorway engulfed by the blast, while others dive for cover behind furniture and walls.

In the chaos of a smoke-filled foyer, some scramble for the exits and others help drag out the bloodied and battered bodies, not all of them alive. More>>

 The usual BS from the Muslims at Islam Online:

johnboy: NO Muslim could do such a thing.  It must be George Bush, the CIA and mossad since they have the most to gain.  Obama knew about it and approved it.   Think about it… 

No jews were present at either hotel.  Could they have been warned by the mossad and CIA?  George Bush was in hiding.  Could this all be planned by the USA and Israel?  Yes.  Think about it…no muslim would committ a suicide bombing, only a jew would would do such a thing,  They have so much to gain. (Really? And what would that be?/ed)

“Militants” Eyed in Indonesian Bombings

Update: 

an expat eyewitness explained that the Ritz is the most secure and well-protected hotel in Indonesia, and couldn’t understand how this could ever possibly have happened. As became clear later on, the terrorist(s) didn’t walk in the building this morning: they already were in there, staying on the 18th floor.

And from ANTARA News: Yudhoyono says terrorists targeted him

Carl in J’lem on Christopher Hitchens latest piece on suicide bombers:

What the events of the last few years prove is that there is a military answer to terrorism. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

‘Palestinians’ became suicide bombers out of a desire for religious martyrdom. One did not see the children of the leadership becoming suicide bombers – usually it was the less intelligent people or the ones who were headed for death by ‘honor killing‘ anyway.

A federal appeals court in Manhattan on Friday reversed a lower court ruling that had allowed the government to bar a prominent Muslim scholar from entering the United States in 2004 on grounds he had contributed to a charity that had connections to terrorism.

Philippines: Amnesty for Abu Sayyaf?

Amnesty for Abu Sayyaf Terrorist Group will send ‘terrible signal’

 Abu Sayyaf terrorists 
The Inquirer – Maila Ager

MANILA, Philippines — Three senators have strongly opposed the proposed granting of amnesty to Abu Sayyaf Group, saying this would only send a wrong signal to other “criminal elements.”

“Amnesty for Abu Sayyaf is a bad idea. They’re an extremist fringe who should be taught to follow law and order,” Senator Aqulino Pimentel Jr. said on Wednesday.

“It sends a terrible signal,” said Senator Francis Pangilinan.

“It creates the impression that criminal elements involved in heinous offenses will be accommodated by an amnesty proclamation. Respect for our laws will be diminished severely by an amnesty proclamation,” he said.

An amnesty proclamation for Abu Sayyaf Group, Pangilinan said, would also give an impression the government was incapable of enforcing laws.

1.)  Jordan: Police Hand Woman Over to Brother After Finding Her With a Man, Immediately Stabbed 20 Times and Skull Crushed With Rock to “Cleanse Family Honor”….

H/T frutz

Saudi Arabia made headlines recently when two young Saudi women, Reem, 21, and Nouf, 19 were murdered by their brother who was attempting to restore his family’s honor.  What had the women done to dishonor their family?  They had spoken to men in public. 

Saudi Arabian law prohibits men and women from mingling in public.  (A few other Saudi laws include: amputating the limbs of robbers, flogging those who are drunk, and prohibiting women from driving.)

The Saudi Arabian religious police enforce the law that proscribes men and women from ‘mixing’ in public, and a women’s rights group is blaming the police for this murder: had the women not been arrested, the brother wouldn’t have been compelled to slay his sisters, who he thought were shaming his family.  Reem and Nouf’s father was present during the murder, and he approved his son’s actions.

Today, the Obama administration reversed a Bush-era policy and opened the way for “foreign women who are victims of severe domestic beatings and sexual abuse to receive asylum in the United States.” The battered women will have to meet “strict conditions for asylum” and will also have to show that “domestic abuse is widely tolerated in their country…that they could not find protection from institutions at home or by moving to another place within their own country.”

Unexploded bomb found in Jakarta Marriott; blasts targeted crowded hotel restaurants

An update on this story. The unexploded bomb was defused and could provide a wealth of evidence for investigators. “Hotel ‘terror’ blasts kill nine in Jakarta,” from CNN, July 17 via JW:

JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) — Bomb blasts tore through two luxury hotels Friday morning in Jakarta, Indonesia, killing at least nine people in what the country’s president called a “terrorist” attack.

Terror experts warned Jemaah Islamiah would bomb Western targets

*  Why do we need “terror experts” when we have Bucktooth Bashir?

Abu Bakar Ba'asyir the intellectual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah 
The Age — Brendan Nicholson

TERRORISM specialists warned just two days ago that splinter groups from Jemaah Islamiah could bomb Western targets in Indonesia to re-establish their credibility.

Analysts Noor Huda Ismail and Carl Ungerer, of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said leadership tensions within JI and the release from prison of more than 100 of its members raised the possibility that they would try to re-energise the organisation through attacks. 

Pretzel-logic from the Age: “fugitive terrorists are rallying points for young Indonesians, some of them radicalised in prison.”

Officials said more than 50 people were injured in the explosions at the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott hotels, which punched out the windows of a usually crowded restaurant and sent plumes of smoke into the sky.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said the bombings as the work of extremists.

“I condemn this terrorist attack,” Yudhoyono said. “I know they will never stop.”

Free Speech Death Watch Alert: Obama’s Ministry of Truth

“Gag the Internet!,” by Kyle Smith for the New York Post, thanks to JW

Ayn Rand in 1961: “Once a country accepts censorship pf the press and of speech, then nothing can be won without violence. Therefore, so long as you have free speech, protect it. This is the life-and-death issue in this country: do not give up the freedom of the press – of newspapers, books, magazines, radios movies, and other other form of presenting ideas. So long as that’s free, a peaceful intellectual turn is possible.

Obama appointee wants to gag the Internet

The Internet has served as the source of samizdat in the defense of the Free World against the global jihad. While the mainstream media moves in ever more craven lockstep, insistently retailing Islam-Is-Peace fantasies no matter how much the evidence mounts that there is a violent and supremacist imperative within Islam that must be addressed if it is ever going to be ended, one can still find the truth on the Internet, if one knows where to look. But if Obama and the OIC get their way, and I don’t see any reason why they won’t, this springtime won’t last much longer.

When it comes to the First Amendment, Team Obama believes in Global Chilling.

 

poorchoice

Cass Sunstein, a Harvard Law professor who has been appointed to a shadowy post that will grant him powers that are merely mind-boggling, explicitly supports using the courts to impose a “chilling effect” on speech that might hurt someone’s feelings. He thinks that the bloggers have been rampaging out of control and that new laws need to be written to corral them.

Advance copies of Sunstein’s new book, “On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done,” have gone out to reviewers ahead of its September publication date, but considering the prominence with which Sunstein is about to be endowed, his worrying views are fair game now. Sunstein is President Obama’s choice to head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. It’s the bland titles that should scare you the most….

Czar is too mild a world for what Sunstein is about to become. How about “regulator in chief”? How about “lawgiver”? He is Obama’s Obama.

In “On Rumors,” Sunstein reviews how views get cemented in one camp even when people are presented with persuasive evidence to the contrary. He worries that we are headed for a future in which “people’s beliefs are a product of social networks working as echo chambers in which false rumors spread like wildfire.” That future, though, is already here, according to Sunstein. “We hardly need to imagine a world, however, in which people and institutions are being harmed by the rapid spread of damaging falsehoods via the Internet,” he writes. “We live in that world. What might be done to reduce the harm?”

Sunstein questions the current libel standard – which requires proving “actual malice” against those who write about public figures, including celebrities. Mere “negligence” isn’t libelous, but Sunstein wonders, “Is it so important to provide breathing space for damaging falsehoods about entertainers?” Celeb rags, get ready to hire more lawyers….

And not just the celeb rags.

The Daily Truth about the Democrats’ National Energy Tax

Truth #13: Higher Energy Rates to Pay for Bike Paths in Senegal

The federal government will provide free carbon emission allowances to foreign governments, NGOs or private entities, who would in turn sell these allowances to utility companies and use the proceeds from the sales to support projects in developing countries.  It is expected that entities like domestic utility companies will raise their rates on American consumers to fund the purchase of these carbon emission allowances. (H.R. 2454, Sec. 441, p. 1212)

What this means for Americans Under the Democrats’ national energy tax, entities like utility companies will spend an estimated $58 billion in the year 2020 alone to purchase carbon emission allowances that will go to fund international projects.  These companies will collect this money through higher energy costs imposed on American families and businesses.  That money will be used to support international clean technology programs.  USAID’s international clean energy technology activities have included projects like the integrated bus rapid transit and bike path plan in Senegal, and the development of a hydrogen rickshaw in India.>With 14.7 million American workers unemployed, raising electricity prices on American households to fund bike paths overseas is the height of absurdity.

I’m honoured to write the back page of Canada’s leading legal magazine, Canadian Lawyer. I’ve been doing it for more than three years, and it’s a tough gig — imagine how nit-picky the readers can be! But I love it because of the quality of the readers, the legal focus of the column and the regular blasts I get in the letters page.

Anyways, some of my columns are available online, so over the next little while I’m going to link to some of those. Here’s one I wrote in May about Australia’s embarrassing attempt to censor the Internet. Some excerpts:

…Australia’s government nannies have officially banned 1,370 web sites. They’ve drawn up a blacklist, just like the medieval index of banned books. Right now it’s a voluntary pilot project to which Internet service providers can submit. But if the trial run is deemed a success and made law, anyone who links to a blacklisted site can be fined $11,000 a day. That means it will be a crime not just to provide the contents of a web site, but to merely reproduce its address.

That’s not just like banning books. It’s like banning books, and banning saying the banned book’s title. It’s a lot of banning.

Australia: Labor Legalizes More Catmeat Sheik's

No surprises here. The Left and Islam are brothers in arms – they are both totalitarian regimes that brook no opposition, and indeed believe in eliminating any opponents -often violently.

* Trouble is that this Islamofascist creep has already been in the country for ten years!

Andrew Bolt – Friday, July 17, 

What is it with Labor and radical imams? Paul Keating had his Jew-hating, jihad-preaching Sheik Hilali:

Chris Hurford, immigration minister in the Hawke Labor government, tried in 1986 to have him deported after Hilali had overstayed a tourist visa in 1982 …because his reported utterances were dividing the Muslim community. But Hilali had two powerful Labor supporters on his side – Paul Keating and Leo McLeay – who would ultimately help him win his quest for permanent residency.

Now Robert McClelland has a Hilali of his own: 

THE federal Attorney-General, Robert McClelland, supplied a glowing character reference for a Sydney sheik accused of spying for Iran just months after learning ASIO had rejected his residency application on national security grounds.

pm_sheikh_narrowweb__300x3690Spying for Iran: Mansour Leghaei

The Australian can reveal that Mr McClelland wrote two character references in 1997 for controversial Iranian cleric Mansour Leghaei, who is accused by ASIO of engaging in “specific acts of foreign interference”.  Sheik Leghaei has been fighting to stay in Australia for more than a decade, despite ASIO issuing two adverse security assessments against him.

Leghaei’s spying isn’t the only issue. His notebook could have been written by Hilali himself.

PS: Muslim Village loves him.

Hamas MP and Cleric on Swine Flu and “the Brothers of Apes and Pigs”– no doubt Mansour would agree with him:
