At least Hillary Clitman thinks so, she found it hilarious that US ships are being attacked by Somali pirates… Catie Couric from CBS eagerly explained that Somali young men resort to piracy for “lack of other economic opportunities” and the current US administration is “still defining its rationale for undertaking sensitive operations in countries where the United States is not at war.” (Quick, call the UN security council, they can write a sternly worded letter to the pirates/ed)

Last night, on MSNBC, the FBI explicitly made the point of saying “we are dealing with young criminals, not radical Islam terrorists”

* Mark Steyn: Civilization walking the plank

* Faced with Piracy, French Summon Spirit of Foreign Legion while America Seems Dazed and Confused China Confidential

* Somalia: Islamists rape, and impregnate, Canadian captive

So someone(s) put out the official word to not use that terrible slur, radical Islam, nor that fear word, terrorists, when referring to Somalian piracy.

Pamela has a good take on this here… a retired general just told Fox News that “the Somali pirates are just criminals and have “nothing to do with Islamic terrorists”-  the media has banned any tie between the jihadis and piracy.

     “Don’t hurt my people…”

Obambi: “and, mmm, this is the tenth time in three days you folks have asked me about the pirates. Look. And this is all I will say. We are in discussion with our friends in Somalia. That’s it. Back to the economy. As I was saying…”

Obambi must be getting his advice from Professor Sam Hamod, Ph.D.

* Frontpage magazine tells it like it is…

* Meanwhile, the Obambi administration debates…

The FBI and intelligence officials have said that at least 20 young Somali American men have left this country for Somalia in recent years to train and fight with al-Shabab against the Somali government and occupying Ethiopian military forces. In February, a naturalized American — 27-year-old Shirwa Ahmed of Minneapolis — killed himself and many others in a suicide bombing in Somalia.

Nothing to do with jihad, right?

Yusuf fears a ‘backlash’!

 Only on “Planet Irf”

In his latest blog entry  sharia advocate Yusuf Irfan fantasizes about the “Far Right”, blames  ‘prejudicial rhetoric used against certain minority groups’  (Islam & Muslims of course, nothing else matters)  whines about ‘uncontrolled and unmedicated hate’…   Same old, same old…

Yusuf has no problem with Islamic hate-mongers like this, like this  and this, but whines about Tim Blair, who does very little of that sort. 

When all fails, Yusuf wants you to believe Moslems are just like da Jooozz..

…and when nobody listens, (when did  the last poster  comment on your blog, Yusuf?) he tells us he is just like Gandhi:

Usually, there are institutions that take care of such people. Yusuf is still running around without a straight jacket.

“Today they do the same against anyone deemed Muslim. regular band of nutbags that surround Daily Telegraph opinion editor Tim Blair are typical examples racist commentary.”

“Racist” Yusuf? What race is Islam again? Are you saying the followers of your prophet are not racist?

Here Yusuf: what did he say? “Are you mah nigga??”

Apart from that, Yusuf has no problem with the demand for exclusive Muslim prayer rooms at Muslim Students at RMIT, who have indicated precisely that nothing else will do.

Europe and the rest of the West need to curb their racism or xenophobia to the levels practiced in the glorious Middle East.

That would show them.

Mosques are not simply places of worship:
