According to one of the most respected historians in early Islam, Muslims attacked Christians at Tabuk merely to extort money – as the Qur’an commands.
From the PVV website, here is the text of the speech given by Geert Wilders yesterday in Copenhagen:
Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you, Danish Free Press Society, again for inviting me to speak to you here in Copenhagen. It is good to be back in Denmark. Thank you, my friend, Lars Hedegaard.
And last but not least, I thank the Danish border police for having allowed me into the country.
Ladies and gentlemen, last week was a tremendous week. My party, the Dutch Freedom Party, came second in the Dutch elections for the European Parliament!
In many cities, including Rotterdam and The Hague, we even managed to become the largest party!

Hugh Fitzgerald talks truth to power: is it just about making sense, or insisting that we use common sense when dealing with cunning Arabs?Â
Fitzgerald: We insist: the Saudis should aid other Muslim states
“Yemen is the Arab world’s poorest nation — and one of its most unstable — making it fertile territory for al-Qaida to set up camp.” — from this article
And right next to Yemen is Saudi Arabia, the Arab world’s richest nation and, per capita, one of the richest nations on earth, surpassed only by the tiny sheikdoms along the Gulf that, like Saudi Arabia, have received trillions of dollars since 1973 alone. Yet we, the Americans and Europeans and even Japan, are expected to pay for all the economic ills of the Muslim states that do not possess oil wealth (that, and the Jizyah of foreign aid from Infidels, is what keeps the Arab states going, now that there are no large non-Muslim populations to exploit and plunder) — in order, so it is said, to prevent “widespread poverty” from making the population susceptible to Al Qaeda.
In the last couple of days we’ve have quite a few of these ‘defenders of Islam’ on this blog. To spot these annoying time-wasters I dug this out from our “Islam” archive, just to help you all on how to smell the coffee early enough. Note also that most of these mental giants use Western names like  ‘Dave’ or ‘Michael’ and usually call themselves ‘Christians’-  all in the noble spirit of  “war is deceit”- but they are easily spotted.
Debating Mohammedan Taqiyya Doctors
Hugh Fitzgerald wrote this quite a while ago, I have taken liberty to  edit it slightly for length and  this blog entry:
Infuriating, is it not, to attempt to have a rational debate and to find yourself instead with an opponent who slithers about like an eel, and with whom you can never quite engage, because you can never quite grasp and hold him long enough, because he is forever slipping and sliding and meanwhile keeping of a non-stop patter of distraction and attack and omission and exaggeration. The very idea of a debate is or should be related to the idea that each party attempts, in good faith, to examine a topic together, and to ask, or answer, questions of or from the other.
Muslims don’t do that. They don’t ‘play nice’- because  they are religiously obliged to defend the indefensible, and you will be frustrated out of your wits about the detractions, the lies and prevarications that will be thrown your way.
Unless the moderator-hosts for such things set up strict rules, and demand that questions be answered and not remain un-answered or answered with irrelevancies, the farce will continue. And all that will have been learned is something about the eerily eel-like quality of the other side, with all that slipping and slithering –perhaps not quite as effectively as Tariq Ramadan — as far away from the real and serious matter at hand, as is possible.
When trying to debate with Muhammed worshipers you will end up frustrated and exasperated: Muhammedans are masters of a technique called ‘turnspeak’– Â they use Tu Quoque (’you do it too-arguments) ‘accuse the accuser’- they employ kitman & taqiyya (lies & deception and dissimulation) they deflect away from the subject matter to avoid getting nailed on the unpleasant things like the atrocities, the rape, the plunder, slavery and child-molesting of the ‘profit’ Mohammed and his companions. Inevitably, if you know your stuff-, Â you will be cursed, they will threaten to kill you and tell you that you will go to hell for questioning their belief-system.
A leading Christian Zionist says if President Obama wants to be consistent in his condemnation of anti-Semitism, he should speak out against the latest anti-Semitic rant by his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright.
Pastor Wright told the Daily Press of Newport News, Virginia, on Tuesday that “them Jews” were keeping him from speaking to President Obama. He also criticized the president for not sending a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism, saying Obama chose not to for fear of offending Jews and Israel.
Pro-Israel activist Gary Bauer, who serves on the executive board of Christians United for Israel, says Wright’s comments were yet another jarring reminder that he is an “open, unrepentant anti-Semite of the worst kind.”
Â
“This is a man who has serious problems and is obviously a hater –Â and the mystery remains why in the world our president and his family would have stayed in that church for so many years,” he contends.
No mystery at all. Winds of Jihad  warned you  again and again about the son of a Gramscian whore and a Kenyan Muslim…
 Although the White House would not comment on Wright’s incendiary remarks, including his claim that Zionists were carrying out “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza, Bauer says President Obama needs to be asked how much of his Mideast policy was formulated by the two decades of teaching he received from Wright.
“Certainly when I see the president suggesting that Israel cannot build homes for Jews in Judea and Samaria, it raises serious concerns in my mind about what in the world is motivating [him] to take such a position,” he admits.
Â
According to Bauer, if Jeremiah Wright is so concerned about “ethnic cleansing,” he needs to look no further than Gaza, where every Jew was forced to leave as they turned that land over to the Palestinians. Bauer is concerned that the Obama administration may be suggesting that no Jews will be allowed to live in the West Bank as that land is also turned over to the Palestinians.
Â
Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that Wright issued an apology on Thursday, saying he “meant no harm or ill-will to the American Jewish community” or Obama’s administration.
Hamas calls Nethanyahu ‘extremist’- you really can’t make this s*#t up!
PA: “Netanyahu speech will spur new intifada”
HT Weasel Zippers
* Remember: the PA are the “moderate” terrorists!
JERUSALEMÂ (JTA) — Palestinian Authority officials said Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy speech would trigger a new intifada.Â
“The speech has destroyed all initiatives and expectations,” said a statement issued from PA President Mahmoud Abbas’ office following Netanyahu’s policy speech on Sunday at Bar Ilan University. “It has also placed restrictions on all efforts to achieve peace and constitutes a clear challenge to the Palestinian, Arab and American positions.”
An Abbas aide told the Jerusalem Post that “It’s obvious, in the aftermath of this speech, that we are headed toward another round of violence and bloodshed.”Â
Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat called on the Arab countries to suspend the Arab peace initiative to protest Netanyahu’s policy statement.Â
Hamas said that Netanyahu’s address reflected “a racist and extremist ideology,” the French news agency AFP reported.
* Damn! Â Hamas calls Nethanyahu ‘extremist’-which race is Islam again?
Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni said at a Kadima Party meeting Monday that Netanyahu took “a step in the right direction” during his speech Sunday. She said the opposition would make sure Netanyahu’s words, calling for a demilitarized Palestinian state, would be translated into action.
A statement from a group of rightists said they would build dozens of new outposts in response to Netanyahu’s address as well as President Obama’s address last week in Cairo.
Israeli President Shimon Peres said in a statement: “The Prime Minister’s speech was a true and courageous speech that referred to the main issue — the establishment of a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside the state of Israel, the state of the Jewish People. He also proposed to the Palestinians the opening of direct negotiations without preconditions. These remarks, which were enunciated in a clear voice, are very important regarding the strengthening of stability in the Middle East and constitute an opening of direct negotiations towards both a regional peace and a bilateral peace between Israel and the Palestinians.”
The EU is “one-sided and always against Israel,” Wilders said, Â “nothing will happen” if Israel “depends on the Europeans” to stop Iran’s genocidal threats against the Jewish state.
Asked about the EU’s posture toward Israel and forcing the Islamic Republic of Iran to halt its nuclear weapons program, Wilders said the European Parliament has “always been biased against Israel.” He said he regrets “that they (EU) have a foreign minister” and argued that the “European Parliament should not be involved in foreign politics.”
Wilders said Israel was the “only light of democracy in the Middle East” and that Islamic war was “against us all.” The Jewish state was “more like the canary in the coal mine,” he said, and stressed that an “ideological conflict” was unfolding in the region. “It is not a territorial conflict. Please forget about this crazy concept.” The Islamists “see Israel as a big settlement” and if Israel “gives Territory A,” said Wilders, then the other side will ask for Territory B, “such as Haifa.” Â More>>

Jennifer Lynch, chief Canadian Human Rights Commission goon, refuses to appear on a Canadian talk show with Ezra Levant. So another Human Rights Commission loser is sent in her place – but he only appears on the condition that author, journalist and free-speech advocate Levant not argue with him. Mark Steyn weighs in: “Canada’s Chief Commissar of ‘Human Rights’, Jennifer Lynch, QC, calls for ‘balance‘, so feel free to provide some in the comments section.”
Uh-oh:Â Do we Aussies wanna be like them? Here comes the thought police:
Australia’s discrimination watchdog has criticised human rights laws as “piecemeal”, weak and insufficient in protecting human rights, and called for an overhaul …
Australian Human Rights Commission president Catherine Branson, QC, said Australia was far behind other countries.Â
What odds she’s talking about the likes of Canada?Â
Does anybody on this planet still believe that Jimmy Carter is a credible, reliable source on anything? Why the Democrat Party has not completely disowned this jackass is beyond me.
Forget diplomacy. Jimmy Carter’s silence would be the best thing to happen to American/Israeli relations.
Israel is headed for a clash with main ally the United States over the issue of Jewish settlements, former US president Jimmy Carter said in an interview on Sunday.
Asked by the liberal Haaretz newspaper whether the Jewish state was looking at a “head-on collision” with the United States if it doesn’t comply with Washington’s demands, Carter said “Yes.”
Now, I hate to admit it, but that may very well be true. Thus far, President Obama has not exactly been a staunch supporter of Israel.
The former president, who brokered the historic peace treaty between Israel and Egypt in 1979, said Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank were the biggest hurdle in the hobbled Middle East peace process, saying they were “illegal and (an) obstacle to peace.”
Yeah, because the Jews are the problem. Those lousy settlers keep getting in the way of those friendly Palestinian rockets. The nerve!
Carter on Sunday made a rare visit to a settlement, saying he went to Neve Daniel “to make sure they (the settlers) understand my own attitude towards Israel, the Jewish population across the world and the Jewish settlements.” (H/T – Bretibart)
I do understand Carter’s attitude toward Israel:
He despises them, and will almost always side with Palestinian terrorists. Why? Because he’s a rabid anti-Semite.
Is this the beginning of the end for the Islamic Republic? Maybe, but if so, there is a long way to go. This was a pro-Mousavi demonstration, and as Kenneth Timmerman points out here (thanks to Pamela), Mousavi was a founder of Hizballah and participated in the creation of Iran’s intelligence service. A demonstration on his behalf may thus represent dissatisfaction with the heavy-handedness of the mullahs, but not necessarily a genuine move away from the basic premises of the Islamic Republic. That is not to say, however, that the Islamic Republic is wildly popular among Iranians, or that there isn’t real support for a return to a more Western-oriented government and society. Obama should today be appealing to those who hold such views — which doesn’t include Mousavi — and pledging his support to them.

The most outrageous comment I’ve heard yet about the Iranian elections is one uttered by Michigan’s Communist U.S. Senator Carl Levin on a Detroit radio station, this morning.
Well, more people voted in the Iranian elections than in the U.S. elections. They had a higher turn out in Iran. 80%.
HUH? HUH?! HUH????!!!!
This U.S. Senator is comparing the United States with a totalitarian regime and somehow implying that they are better, more democratic, more committed to free elections. . . because they had a higher percentage of turnout (a forced-by-the-totalitarian-state turnout) -by-at the polls of a fake election run and orchestrated by a theocracy? Absurd. Ludicrous. Ridiculous.More>>
There’s no official confirmation that he died but that’s the word on the street. Best-case scenario is that they “merely” beat him into unconsciousness. Rather than give you just the video of the beating, though, I’m embedding a kaleidoscope of 14 clips put together byBreitbart.com to show you how widespread and violent the protests already are. If you can’t spare a few minutes to watch them all, at least watch the first three plus the seventh, where you’ll find the Basij — essentially Iran’s answer to the Nazi SA — riding by on motorcycles with batons and taking swings at anyone wearing green to indicate support for Mousavi. I’ve read multiple tweets from Iranians today claiming that some of these goons have been heard speaking Arabic, not Farsi, suggesting that they’re actually Hezbollah troops shipped in from Lebanon to help with the crackdown. Whether that’s true or just a rationalization by Iranian students who don’t want to believe their own countrymen would side with the regime against the people, I don’t know.
Obama Administration officials still hope they can talk Khamenei out of developing nuclear weapons and supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. This is delusion on stilts. Khamenei can’t even compromise with his own regime or his hand-picked presidential candidates. He placed them under house arrest, along with a Grand Ayatollah, and deployed thousands of violent enforcers into the streets. Not only does he confront the world, he is at war with his very own country.
