From CNN: Gunfire erupts on Israel-Lebanon border.

Lebanese army troops fired Wednesday on Israeli troops hunting for explosives along the Israel-Lebanon border, Lebanese army and Israeli military sources said. …
Lebanese army sources said their troops fired at an Israeli bulldozer that had crossed the Blue Line into Lebanese territory in Maroun a-Rus about 10:30 p.m. There was an exchange of fire, they said, but there were no casualties on the Lebanese side.

The situation on the border is “very tense,” the Lebanese sources said.

Hamas and Fatah signed on Thursday a coalition deal to end factional warfare and to try to win back Western aid halted because of Hamas’s refusal to recognize Israel.

But they still won’t recognize Israel. Of course not.

Hamas government spokesman Ghazi Hamad told Reuters:

“They cannot ignore this agreement and impose their own conditions,” he said in reference to the United States. “The European Union should open a dialogue with this new government and this is the only way to have stability in the region.”

In Gaza, Nizar Rayyan, a senior Hamas leader, said on Friday that Hamas would never recognize Israel and that the deal on the government does not change the movement’s position.

“We will never recognize Israel. There is nothing called Israel, neither in reality nor in the imagination,” he told Reuters. His comments were endorsed by a Hamas spokesman.

Israel and its U.S. ally have said Hamas must renounce violence, recognize Israel and commit itself to existing peace accords before sanctions can be lifted.

El Baradei has been bulls*#tting the ‘International community’ for much too long,- give him the shoe!

What happens if you give a follower of the Muhammedan belief-system the Nobel-price?

Chances are a million to one that nothing happens. At least nothing that would change the attitudes of the said Muhammedan or his loyalties to the infidel nation- states that gave him the (undeserved) honor to protect the foolish infidels against Islamic Imperialism and nuclear aspirations of the Islamic obsession to conquer the world.
Just a handfull of Mohammedans out of a billion have ever been given the coveted Nobel-price, always for the sake of peace, which never came and remains an illusion (remember Arafat, the lifelong jihad-terrorist?) The rest simply don’t seem to care. The naive blue-eyed fools in the West still believe they can buy the loyalties of Muhammedans with platitudes like ‘human rights’- ‘democracy’ and other abstract concepts which the Arabs simply despise.

Its a one-way street: We give, they are on the take. Its called ‘Jiziyah’…
One of them is Mohammed al Baradei, so-called ‘nuclear watchdog’ who watches that no western nation stops Muhammedans from developing nuclear bombs. We pay him for that. Handsomely.

Who guessed it?

Dr. Mahatir: Islamofascist till his dying day?

Correspondents in Kuala Lumpur, Baghdad and Rome
February 09, 2007
MALAYSIA yesterday defended a speech by former premier Mahathir Mohamad in which he congratulated Iraqi insurgents, saying he had the right to express his opinions.
Dr Mahathir applauded the insurgents, urging them to ensure the US paid a “high price” for its invasion of Iraq and saying that the flow of body bags would “help Americans to change their minds” about the conflict.
“I think (Dr Mahathir) has taken that approach and I would not say that the Government supports nor objects to it,” Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said, adding that Dr Mahathir was free to express his views as a “citizen of Malaysia”.

“This is a free and democratic country and it’s very nice to see freedom being exercised,” he said.

Right.

*Last time I checked Malaysia was another Islamic cesspool and If I call Mahatir a turd that swims in it I am exercising my freedom of speech,- you’ll find that very nice, NOT?*

MUSLIM leaders across the nation have strongly backed a plan to oust outspoken Islamic cleric Taj Din al-Hilali, declaring he would be “foolish” to reject a proposed golden handshake deal.
The Muslim community yesterday stepped up its calls for Sheik Hilali’s resignation as the spiritual leader of Lakemba Mosque, in Sydney’s southwest, accusing the 66-year-old of damaging the image of Islam.

* There is no ‘spirituality’ in Islam. Neither is there a ‘spiritual leader’- and the ‘image of Islam’ is as good as as Hilali or the next suicide bomber:  Pack up and leave,   turds!*

*
The former chairman of the Prime Minister’s Muslim advisory board, Ameer Ali, told The Australian that the plan to remove Sheik Hilali from office was long overdue. “It’s something good that’s happened at the end of the day,” Dr Ali said. “It has taken a very long time.”

Prominent Sydney-based imam Khalil Shami said Sheik Hilali would be wise to accept the offer drawn up by 10 Sydney-based Islamic organisations in the face of his dwindling community support.

Time to go, sheik warned

From Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch:

*
Hannity and even Colmes (video at Hot Air) try to pin him down about Iraq and about his attendance at pro-Hizballah rallies, but Colmes makes a key mistake when he asks him if he attended such rallies in Washington, when in fact they were in Dearborn.

A few quotes I dashed down:

“You talkin’ to me?”

“I am generally against any occupation.” Hmm. What occupation might he have in mind? “Any evil party. Any occupier occupying innocent people, an innocent land, and suck the wealth of the nation, whether that it is Middle East or somewhere else, generally.”

Is Hizballah a terrorist organization? Simple yes or no question. “Hizballah is a Lebanese organization and I got nothing to do with that.” Hannity returned to this one and never got a satisfactory answer.

For Al Bebeceera this raving PoS is still an ‘activist’

Activist held under Terrorism Act

Mr Izzadeen is being held at a central London police station
A Muslim activist has been arrested in east London over allegations of encouraging terrorism.
Abu Izzadeen was held by in Leyton High Road by counter-terrorism officers, Scotland Yard said.

He hit the headlines last September after heckling Home Secretary John Reid but it is understood the inquiry is related to a 2006 speech in Birmingham.

Mr Izzadeen, 31, is being held at a central London police station under Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2006.

He has been associated for some years with radical Islamist politics in the UK and has been a member of two now illegal groups, Al Muhajiroun and Al Ghurabba.

You can’t help but crack up over the respectful way in which the Al Bebeceera reporter writes about this filth on legs…

Also CNN hits bottom:

UK police arrest ‘outspoken Muslim’

Allahpundit: Al Reuters has already edited their whitewash headline, from “Police arrest high profile Muslim figure,” to: Police arrest Muslim who harangued Reid.

*

Raving and seething galore from British Islamist nutjob Anjem Choudary, on the arrest of his good buddy Abu Izzadeen. He calls Asgar Bukhari the Holocaust denier a “bootlicker” and an “apostate.” Completely whacked out—and the craziest part is the respectful tone of the Sky News interviewer in the face of Choudary’s frothing lunacy.

The convocation for the Democratic National Committee’s winter meeting was delivered today by Shi’ite Imam Husham Al-Husainy, of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center in Dearborn, Michigan, and it’s amazing what this spiritual leader managed to get away with saying, in front of America’s Democrat leadership: Video: Imam prays to stop ‘oppression and occupation’ at DNC meeting.

In the name of God the most merciful, the most compassionate. We thank you, God, to bless us among your creations. We thank you, God, to make us as a great nation. We thank you God, to send us your messages through our father Abraham and Moses and Jesus and Mohammed. Through you, God, we unite. So guide us to the right path. The path of the people you bless, not the path of the people you doom. Help us God to liberate and fill this earth with justice and peace and love and equality. And help us to stop the war and violence, and oppression and occupation. Ameen.

“Not the path of the people you doom?”

No one in attendance thought this was a bit … odd?

Robert Spencer rips them to shreds:

Sheik yer’mami covered this story extensively- check out ‘Kurnaz’

Murat Kurnaz spent over four years in Guantánamo Bay after the US military decided he was an enemy combatant.

Now his lawyer is suing the Pentagon for the release of documents that could exonerate his client.
A lawyer acting on behalf of the former Guantánamo prisoner Murat Kurnaz is taking the Pentagon to court to try to force them to hand over vital secret files. (*Good luck brother, knock yourself out!)
According to a report in the Wednesday edition of the German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel, Baher Azmy, Kurnaz’s US lawyer, is hoping to secure the release of documents that would exonerate the German-born Turkish citizen. “There are a whole lot of them,” Azmy said. “The one problem the government could have with their release is that that it could be embarrassing for them.” *Needless to mention that the ‘lawyer’ is a hardcore commie-shyster…
Kurnaz, a Turkish citizen who was born and raised in the German city of Bremen,
(last time I checked he was born in Turkey and his German residence permit was expired)was arrested at the end of 2001 in Pakistan, where he claimed he had travelled to study the Koran. He was held in a camp in Afghanistan before being transferred to the Guantánamo Bay detention camp on Cuba in 2002.

Among the documents that Azmy is hoping to obtain is “R-19,” a short unsubstantiated memo by an unidentified government official which claimed that Kurnaz had terrorist connections. The R-19 memo was enough for the Combatant Status Review Tribunal to rule in 2004 that Kurnaz was an enemy combatant and that he be detained at Guantanamo indefinitely. However, US District Judge Joyce Hens Green ruled in January 2005 that Kurnaz’s imprisonment was illegal. It took until July 2006 before he was eventually released.

Azmy expects that a US federal court will rule on whether to release the R-19 memo by this summer at the earliest. He is also demanding the release of the transcripts of Kurnaz’s several hearings before the military tribunals. The documents had been declassified for a time but have subsequently been reclassified. “They could provide the proof that the American government was already convinced of the innocence of my client in 2002,” Azmy told the Tagesspiegel.

The Kurnaz case has put the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier under immense political pressurein recent weeks. He is accused of preventing Kurnaz’s release from the US military prison while chief of staff to former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. Steinmeier denies that there was an official US offer to release Kurnaz in 2002. The embattled minister is due to appear before a parliamentary committee investigating the case on March 8.

Update: 

Schily nennt Aussagen von Kurnaz “unglaubwürdig”

*
Otto Schily (SPD) hat die Aussagen des ehemaligen Guantanamo-Häftlings Kurnaz als unglaubwürdig bezeichnet. “Wer sich kurz nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 einen Kampfanzug, ein Fernglas und Schnürstiefel kauft und, ohne sich von seiner Familie in Bremen zu verabschieden, nach Pakistan reist, will dort ja wohl nicht mit dem Fernrohr Allah suchen”, sagte Schily der “Zeit”.
Eine Entschuldigung bei Kurnaz lehnte Schily indessen ab: “Das sähe ja so aus, als hätten wir eine Art Mitverantwortung für Guantanamo. Vielleicht sollte eher Herr Kurnaz seinerseits bedauern, dass er unter sehr merkwürdigen Voraussetzungen nach Pakistan gereist ist. Ihn jetzt als einen Märtyrer aufzubauen, den die Bundesrepublik angeblich auf dem Gewissen hat, ist eine sehr üble Geschichte.”
