Vienna, May 10, 2008 with thanx to the Gates of Vienna

* Sheik yer’mami sez:

Serge Trifcovic spills the beans. Serge  doesn’t  beat around the bush and makes it clear that our liberal, democratic society has no tomorrow if islam prevails. PC-multiculti-diversity and the leftie loons who buy into it will destroy us:

“Europe today is a powder keg,” Otto von Bismarck remarked , “and the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal.”

I am not going to waste your time tonight with yet another treatise on why Islam is not the Religion of Peace, Tolerance, Compassion, etc, etc. We are beyond that. Had America agonized, in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, whether Shinto was actually OK but only Bushido was bad, the Greater Asian Co-prosperity Sphere would be going strong to this day. Among reasonable people, unblinkered by the dicta of political correctitude, the real score on Muhammad and his followers is well known. It has been known for centuries. That score, however, no matter how calmly stated and comprehensively supported, invariably elicits the howls of “Islamophobia” from the neoliberal elite class.

AN EMINENTLY POSTMODERN LITTLE PHOBIA

In the way of an introduction, let us therefore look at the formal, legally tested definition of that word, the latest addition to the arsenal of postmodern “phobias.” It is provided by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) based here in Vienna. (“Orwellian” is a worn-out adjective, but it simply has to be used in connection with this particular institution.) The EUMC diligently tracks the instances of “Islamophobia” all over the Old Continent, which it defines by eight red flags:

1.         Islam is seen as a monolithic bloc, static and unresponsive to change.
2.         Islam is seen as separate and “Other.”
3.         Islam is seen as inferior to the West, barbaric, irrational, primitive and sexist.
4.         Islam is seen as violent, aggressive, linked to terrorism, engaged in a clash of civilizations.
5.         Islam is seen as a political ideology.
6.         Criticisms made of the West by Islam are rejected out of hand.
7.         Discriminatory practices and Muslims’ exclusion from mainstream society are advocated.
8.         Anti-Muslim hostility is seen as natural or normal.

This definition is obviously intended to preclude any possibility of meaningful discussion of Islam. As it happens,

1.         That Islam is static and unresponsive to change is evident from the absence of an internal, orthodox critique of jihad, sharia, jizya, etc. As Clement Huart pointed out back in 1907, “Until the newer conceptions, as to what the Koran teaches as to the duty of the believer towards non-believers, have spread further and have more generally leavened the mass of Moslem belief and opinion, it is the older and orthodox standpoint on this question which must be regarded by non-Moslems as representing Mohammedan teaching and as guiding Mohammedan action.” A century later his diagnosis still stands: it is not the jihadists who are “distorting” Islam; the would-be reformers are.
2.         That Islam is separate from our Western, Christian, European culture and civilization, and “other” than our culture and civilization, is a fact that will not change even if Europe eventually succumbs to the ongoing jihadist demographic onslaught.

3.         Whether Islam is “inferior to the West” is a matter of opinion, of course. That Islam cannot create a prosperous, harmonious, stable, creative, and attractive human society is not. Whether Islam is “barbaric, irrational, primitive and sexist” is at least debatable; but that many of its tangible fruits are so, is all too painfully visible.

* Politically correct reporting just hit the skids: if it wasn’t for the perp’s name you would never know:

Nelson man charged over rape bid

DETECTIVES in Pendle have charged a man with attempted rape following allegations a 34-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in her own home on Wednesday.
Muzaffar Iqbal (42) of Barkerhouse Road, Nelson, will appear before Pennine magistrates today.

*  Remember: Muzaffar Iqbal (42) must not be deported. He might be subjected to torture in his home-country…

Former Groves Hotel mosque plan go-ahead

A PROPOSAL for an improvement scheme at a major eyesore at a “gateway” into Nelson town centre has got the go-ahead from councillors.
Members of Pendle Council’s Nelson Committee agreed on Wednesday to the conversion of the derelict Groves Hotel – the old Spring Bank – into a community centre and to the erection of a mosque in its grounds.

* Some improvement, that. Read it all…

Islamic school gets go-ahead

NELSON is to get its first Islamic faith primary school after councillors gave the go-ahead on Wednesday night.

The nearest Islamic faith school at the moment is in Blackburn.

* Some News from Iraq:

Iraqi singers, actors and artists are fleeing the country after dozens have been killed by Islamic radicals determined to eradicate all culture associated with the West.
Cinemas, art galleries, theatres, and concert halls are being destroyed in grenade and mortar attacks in Basra and Baghdad.

According to the Iraqi Artists’ Association, at least 115 singers and 65 actors have been killed since the US-led invasion, as well as 60 painters. But the terror campaign has escalated in recent months as both Shia and Sunni extremists grow ever bolder in enforcing religious restrictions on the citizens of Iraq….

In November Seif Yehia, 23, was beheaded for singing western songs at weddings, and painter Ibraheem Sadoon was shot dead as he drove through Baghdad. In February Sunni fighters killed Waleed Dahi, 27, a young actor, while he rehearsed for a play due to open at the Jordanian National Theatre this month.

Culture was encouraged during Saddam Hussein’s regime, but no longer. Abu Nur, an Islamic Army spokesman, said: ‘Acting, theatre and television encourage bad behaviour and irreligious attitudes. They promote customs that affect the morality of our traditional society.’

* Western apologists for Islam: take note!

*  This is why no amount of money, aid, misguided nation-building and bringing ‘democracy to the Middle East’- idea’s will amount to nothing: the only consensus in Iraq among Sunni & Shiia is that  Islam, nothing but Islam must dominate. And this is why we should get out of Iraq and leave them to it…

The attitudes of Saudi Muslims are depicted here:

From this article in the New York Times

…prayer is essential. In Enad’s view, jihad is, too, not the more moderate approach that emphasizes doing good deeds, but the idea of picking up a weapon and fighting in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Jihad is not a crime; it is a duty,” Enad said in casual conversation.

“If someone comes into your house, will you stand there or will you fight them?” Enad said, leaning forward, his short, thick hands resting on his knees. “Arab or Muslim lands are like one house.”

* Just imagine: if US-troops would do something like this the nutroots would go ballistic:

Parading dead enemy combatants on the hoods of humvees

A humvee military vehicle idles on a broad avenue as an Iraqi army soldier walks nonchalantly past without so much as a glance at the body slung across the bonnet.

The dead man’s trousers have been pulled down to his ankles, exposing white underwear below a torn T-shirt drenched in blood from wounds to his chest and side.

Behind is a second Humvee with another body sprawled over the front, arms and legs outstretched. On his white shirt, a large bloodstain indicates the wound that may have killed him. A soldier sitting on the roof dangles his legs over the windscreen and seems to prod the corpse’s stomach with his boot.

Scotland: Police bid to tackle Islamophobia

*  Hmmm. How are they going to tackle Islamophobia? Will they go right to its root cause — will they get Muslims to stop blowing stuff up in the name of Islam and announcing that they will soon dominate the land and rule by Sharia? Fantastic!

“Police bid to tackle Islamophobia,” by Imtiaz Tyab for BBC News, via DW
Scotland’s first Muslim Police Association is being created in an attempt to encourage more Muslims to join and stay in the force.
Strathclyde Police hopes the group will also help tackle Islamophobia and improve understanding of Islam.

Pc Amar Shakoor, who was Scotland’s first Muslim officer, said negativity had recently been directed towards the Muslim community.

He said the association hoped to put Islam in a more positive light.

“We want to highlight some of the positive things Islam can provide to the communities and not just the police services,” he said.

* Hmm. Like what exactly? Free couscous? Public flogging, stoning of women?

*  Not sure, but that bit about stopping blowing stuff up will go a long way.

*  Monash is to build a new mosque on campus. Not only that, but the Vice Chancellor is donating $10,000 towards the project.

* Help to stop the Islamization of Australia and  write your letter of complaint to richard.larkins@adm.monash.edu.au

*  Tell him we oppose jihad, sharia, misogyny, discrimination, racism,  dhimmitude, Arab supremacy and imperialism. Please be polite!

*  Update:

“There was once, O men of Athens, something in the minds of the people that is no longer there –something that defeated the might and wealth of Persia, that vindicated the liberty of Greece, the was never conquered on land or sea, and that is now gone, leaving all Greece in turmoil and dismay.

“And what was that? Nothing elaborate or abstruse, but the simple fact all men hated those who took bribes from the seekers of power and the agents of subversion. That was accounted the greatest of crimes, so that he who was convicted of having been corrupted of bribes or by favors was condemned to the ultimate penalty, with no room for excuse and no hope for pardon.

… But now everything is for sale … For what are now the consequences of treason? Envy, for those who have profited; laughter for those who confess; pardon for those who are convicted; and hatred–hatred is now reserved for the man who speaks harshly of treason.”

— Demosthenes, 341 B.C. (written three years before Athens lost her independence) ,

*  Well, we did the TVO show and I doubt it was Must-See TV, even by the standards of Canadian public broadcasting. I succeeded in bouncing the Sock Puppets into agreeing to a face-to-face discussion, though it wasn’t my finest hour or theirs. I believe the final words of the show were me saying, “Do you wanna go to dinner?”, and Khurrum Awan yelling back, “No.”

Mark Steyn vs. the ‘Sock Puppets’

Warming up for his appearance before a human rights tribunal next month, Mark Steyn recently confronted his phony “accusers” on live TV. He got the better of them, but they will have the upper hand in court.

Mark Steyn is in the business of making predictions. The possible consequences of some of those predictions recently led him to make another one: “My career in Canada will be formally ended next month.”

How has it come to this?

On June 2, Steyn and Maclean’smagazine — the nation’s oldest newsweekly — are obliged to defend themselves against charges of “flagrant Islamophobia” at a British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.

The saga began two years ago, whenMaclean’s published an excerpt of Steyn’s bestselling book, America Alone, which asks how the West’s changing demographic profile — specifically, the difference between Muslim and non-Muslim birthrates — will affect its future.

In December 2007, the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC) filed Human Rights Commission complaints against Steyn and the magazine in three different jurisdictions, charging them with “exposing Muslims to hatred and contempt” for, among other things, accurately quoting a Norwegian imam who boasted that Muslims were breeding “like mosquitoes.”

The CIC demanded that Maclean’s print five pages of unedited Islamist propaganda in the interest of “fairness” and “balance.” Maclean’s refused. In fact, publisher Ken Whyte’s response to the group — that he would rather see the magazine go bankrupt than bow to their blackmail — outraged the CIC as much as Steyn’s original article.

 * It appears the ‘defender’ found it objectionable that BJ printed these pictures:

* Tell me if it isn’t so: does this guy resemble Moe?

These two photographs were taken in the Church of Our Lady in Dendermonde, Flanders (Belgium). They show the late 17th century pulpit, sculpted in wood by Mattheus van Beveren.  The person subdued by the angels and having a Koran in his hands is generally thought to be Mohammed. The sculpture represents the triumph of christianity over islam.

Here’s the text of the e-mail to the BJ:

Your news is very race.If you are continue this your website is must be close. We check your server, database,IP and find this pictures, news.You must be careful. Our father of Turk is Ataturk. We are democratic, laic and muslum. We are not Arabic people.We live for peace. We like “Isa” and “Meryem” They are God childs. We give you 7 days. If you are dont change any news or insult.

Picture of the week:

St. Paul’s Cathedral in London where the sun is setting on Christian Europe after decades of pointlessly importing a religion that is incapa-
ble of creating viable societies – instead of taking them from others.
  * From the ‘Religion of Peace’

For the second time in two months (57 yr old Canon Michael Ainsworth was attacked by “Asians” this past March) an East End London clergy has been attacked and beaten by muslim thugs.The Reverend Kevin Scully was attacked in his churchyard as a hate-filled revenge attack for the priest stopping muslim youths from the disrespectful if not blasphemous act of using the church’s Christian cross as a basketball hoop some three days prior to the attack. The three muslim scum returned to exact their revenge and inflict their violent hate on the Reverend who was attacked then punched and kicked leaving the lone priest cowering on the ground before he could run for help.

A man, passing by, tried to help Reverend Scully, the good Samaritan was also beaten. The priest fled into his church where he feared the thugs would follow and continue the beating. A clear case of a muslim hate crime?

Immediately the police and even the battered Reverend went into apology mode making excuses for the muslim teens.
