IRAN U.S. MAGIC CARPET RIDE

An Opening to Iran? They’ve sold us this rug before. 

by Michael Rubin / The Weekly Standard

                           

During the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama promised to meet the leaders of Iran “without preconditions.” He appears a man of his word. Within days of his election, the State Department began drafting a letter to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad intended to pave the way for face-to-face talks. Then, less than a week after taking office, Obama told al-Arabiya’s satellite network, “If countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us.” The president dispatched former Defense Secretary William Perry to engage a high-level Iranian delegation led by a senior Ahmadinejad adviser.

The pundits and journalists may applaud, but their adulation for Obama’s new approach is based more on myth than reality. “Not since before the 1979 Iranian revolution are U.S. officials believed to have conducted wide-ranging direct diplomacy with Iranian officials,” the Associated Press reported. But Washington and Tehran have never stopped talking; indeed, many of Obama’s supposedly bold initiatives have been tried before, often with disastrous results.

Abject Dhimmitude Watch: "Don't attack us please," UK ads to say on Pakistani TV

                            

Another Brownnose – Jacqui Smith initiative: “Please don’t kill us”

                                      “No jihad please were British’

“Don’t attack us please,” UK ads to say on Pakistani TV

To further curry favor, the ads will also insist “that British society is not anti-Islam, [and] to demonstrate the extent to which Muslims are integrated into British society.” As if jihadis don’t already know and depend on that when they infiltrate the UK in preparation of terrorist attacks. “Don’t attack us please, UK ads to say on Pak TV,” from Express India, February 10: H/T JW

From the Bolt Blog:

London - The British government will air ads on Pakistani television urging terrorists to not attack Britain.

What an astonishing – and whimpering – campaign Britain is now launching:

Prominent British Muslims are being recruited to star in a government-backed advertising campaign aimed at preventing people in Pakistan from engaging in extremist activity, the Guardian has learned.

Please don’t hate us: UK ad campaign to target extremism what???

I certainly hope that telling jihadists that Britain isn’t anti-Muslim will work. But two things worry me.

First, Britain hasn’t even managed to convince a frightening number of its own Muslims that it’s too nice to bomb. Second, when you crawl like that to men of such violence, you are likely to get not sympathy for your pleas, but contempt for your weakness.

Intellectual Freedom in Canada: Mark Steyn "addresses" the legislative hearing on the Ontario Human Rights Commission – with a haymaker

From Post Darwinist Denyse O’Leary

*  Ezra Levant also rips defamatory ‘activist’ Andrea Calvert a new one: Michael Coren Show today

                      

* Steyn: if you are not rich or powerful, “the Ontario Human Rights regime will destroy your savings, your business, your life, for no good reason.” And:  the human right “not to be offended” should not exist in a free society. That’s the first and most basic thing that this system failed. 

 Fire. Them. All.

News Service roundup, I reported that Mark Steyn was to testify against the anti-civil rights Human Rights Commission today. I am just back, and am transcribing what he said, in sections, below. Update: Here’s a leaked transcript of the whole day (all the witnesses).

This from the earlier story:

Commentator Mark “one-man global content provider” Steyn is testifying today on the Ontario “human rights” commission (= trampling civil liberties in the name of social engineering) at the province of Ontario’s legislature (Queen’s Park), Room 155. Ontario’s commission dropped its charges against Steyn for his famous Maclean’s article, an excerpt from his book, America Alone, but issued a media release implying that he really was guilty – which gives you some idea how much it resembles a real court. As Kathy “I’m with the banned” Shaidle says, “Can’t find room 151? Just follow the buzzing sound: Steyn tends to be surrounded by a flock of ardent admirers.”

Wilders to Brit's: "Cowards…"

* Sniffling cowards they are, indeed. The British Socialists have surely lost the plot… but what can you expect from a nation of giggling shop-keepers?

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – A Dutch member of parliament facing prosecution because of his anti-Islam remarks said on Tuesday that Britain had refused him entry to the country as a threat to public security.

Geert Wilders had wanted to show a short film, “Fitna,” which accuses the Koran of inciting violence, in the British parliament, but said the British authorities had told him he was excluded from the country.

* Actually, its not Fitna ‘accusing the Koran of inciting violence’- it is the verses in the Koran and the Islamic preachers that incite violence, and Fitna shows just that. More muddle-headed reporting…

“The secretary of state (minister) is satisfied that your statements about Muslims and their beliefs, as expressed in your film “Fitna” and elsewhere, would threaten community harmony and therefore public security in the United Kingdom,” Wilders told Dutch television a letter he had received from the British government said.

Pali Death Cult Watch: Women urged to Sacrifice Their Children

Islamic Jihad preparing for ‘next round’ regardless of elections outcome

 Israel News

A spokesman for al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad’s military wing, said that the organization is uninterested in the outcome of Israel’s elections.  “We are only interested in how to face the enemy in the next round,” he said. (Ali Waked)

Amnesia’s Flying Pig Moment

Amnesty International must have felt the heat of public opinion after their ludicrous statement that they ignore Hamas war crimes because they’re so obvious; today they issued a report that, oddly enough, accuses Hamas of eliminating opponents.

We  suspect a half-assed attempt to preempt criticism:  Amnesty International has consistently been one of the most radical anti-Israel NGOs, they don’t deserve any kudo’s.  But there does seem to be a trend lately among these groups to notice reality.

Hamas wants a truce

“If Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) made a truce with the Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o9.16).

Note that this can only be done if “Muslims are weak,” so that they can gather strength to fight again — not so that they can live peacefully with non-Muslims indefinitely. The same legal manual also quotes this verse of the Qur’an: “So do not be fainthearted and call for peace, when it is you who are the uppermost” (47:35). So Hamas would not be calling for a truce at all if it felt it was in a position of strength. “Interests that justify making a truce are such things as Muslim weakness because of lack of numbers or materiel, or the hope of an enemy becoming Muslim . . .” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o9.16).

The bottom line: Hamas is feeling the heat and wants a truce in order to regroup and emerge in a stronger position.

              Finger wagging Smith (what is it with the finger…?)

Churchill weeps. Here’s the letter from the dhimmi office of the UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith (video of her here):

Home Office
UK Border Agency        

Mr Geert Wilders
For delivery via British Embassy in The Hague

Dear Mr Wilders

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Secretary of  
State is of the view that your presence in the UK would pose a  
genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat to one of the  
fundamental interests of society. The Secretary of State is satisfied  
that your statements about Muslims and their beliefs, as expressed in  
your film Fitna and elsewhere, would threaten community harmony and  
therefore public security in the UK.

You are advised that should you travel to the UK and seek admission  
an Immigration Officer will take into account the Secretary of  
State’s view. If, in accordance with regulation 21 of the immigration  
(European Economic Area) Regulations 2006, the Immigration Officer is  
statisfied that your exclusion is justified on grounds of public  
policy and/or public security, you will be refused admission to the  
UK under regulation 19. You would have a right of appeal against any  
refusal of admission, exercisable from outside the UK.

Yours sincerely,

Irving N. Jones

On behalf of the Secretary of State for the Home Department

The Home office, and Jacqui Smith is particular, has an ugly history of bending over and groveling at the behest of Islamic jihad, while; banning and silencing Jews and freedom lovers. Go here.

FITNA: THE MOVIE. England is denying Wilders entry to Great Britain for fear his arrival will disturb public safety? Note to Brits: It’s not Wilders you should be keeping out of England, it’s the Muslims that want to take over your country. Wilders is not your problem.

WTF? Dutch MP Wilders refused entry to UK

RNW

*  Holland is sick, but the cowardice of the UK is absolutely disgraceful:

Dutch Right-wing politician and controversial anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders has been refused entry to the United Kingdom despite being invited to visit by a member of the House of Lords, the British parliament’s upper chamber.

                              

Update: The matter was decided in Great Britain by the -execrable-  British minister of justice Jack Straw, because it concerns internal security. For this reason minister Ernst Hirsch Balin (CDA) of justice will get in touch with Straw.

* Who could forget the sniffling, groveling Jack-(ass) Straw who owes his seat to the Muslim vote! A maggot in human form!

                            

Note to Brits: It’s not Wilders you should be keeping out of England, it’s the Muslims that want to take over your country!

Geert Wilders.jpgMr Wilders (pictured), who was due to go to London this Thursday, received a letter today, 10 February, from the British ambassador to the Netherlands telling him that he was not welcome, reportedly because his visit would constitute a threat to public order. 

Handcuffs


Mr Wilders responded to the decision in fighting mood, telling Dutch media that he still intended to travel to London:“I’ll see what happens at the border. Let them put me in handcuffs.”

Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen’s response was also firm. He contacted his UK counterpart, David Miliband, by telephone and voiced his dissatisfaction that a member of the Dutch parliament – Geert Wilders is in fact also the leader of a political grouping, the Freedom Party – has been prohibited from entering a fellow European Union member state.

Invited
Geert Wilders, perhaps best known outside the Netherlands for having made the video Fitna, in which the religion Islam and its holy book the Qu’ran are attacked as providing a basis for terrorist attacks and for the undermining of western democracy and values, had been invited to London for a showing of this film to members of the British parliament. 

Twitter
Giving a somewhat modern technological twist to this diplomatic tiff, Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen used the internet social networking and communications site Twitter to announce that he had phoned his counterpart David Miliband to complain about the British decision to refuse entry to Geert Wilders. 

The invitation to do so was extended to the controversial Dutch politician by a member of the unelected House of Lords. 

Regrettable
Mr Verhagen commented regarding the showing of Fitna in the British parliament that this was a matter for the House of Lords to decide on, but added: “the fact that a Dutch parliamentarian is refused entry to another EU country is highly regrettable.”

Geert Wilders was initially to have shown his video to the British parliament in January, but those plans were cancelled following fierce protests from the UK’s Muslim community.

* Once again: smears of “right wing” and skewed reporting: it was the excremental, abominable token Muslim with the title of “Lord” Ahmed who threatened parliament that he would activate 10.000 Muslim protesters, not “fierce protests from the Muslim community”…..

*********

* Is Britain a nation of beggars?

Update 2: “Don’t attack us please”, UK ads to say on Pak TV

London The British government will air ads on Pakistani television urging terrorists to not attack Britain.

* That’ll work!
