WTF is wrong with our media?

Christian Science Monitor goes to bat for islam

Sample: “Why are many Americans distrustful of a religion and people they know very little about?”

Islam deserves a media makeover. At a time when the United States is mired in two wars in locations where the majority of the people practice Islam, the future of American-Islamic relations is at stake.

Sheik sez:

Why does Islam “deserve a media makeover?” What makes Islam deserve anything at all?

The future of  “American-Islamic relations” ended with 9/11.

And long before that. Aiding & abetting the enemy in a time of war is treason. What are these wankers on about?

If you can be bothered to take a closer look  you’ll quickly discover that the CSM offered a soapbox to Amjad Mahmood Khan, a Mohammedan agit prop who promptly used the opportunity to do his Islamic duty to promote Islam, to engage in the usual lies and dissimulation, otherwise known as taqiyya.

Worthless, useless, infuriating to some, but our media seems to believe it is easier to pull the Islamic wool over our eyes and ears than to tell the ugly truth about the marauding serial killer Muhammad.

Here’s another article from the NYT,  again putting lipstick on a pig and pitting hope against the ugly reality:

In Germany, Xenophobia Diverted by Open Doors

Then, there is Wikipedias definition of “Islamophobia”, conflated with “racism”, which it is not:

It is viewed as a new form of racism whereby Muslims, an ethno-religious group, not a race, are nevertheless constructed as a race.

Right. So Islam is not a race, but should be viewed as a “form of racism”. Strange that Wiki doesn’t tell us why it should be viewed as “a form of racism”. Interesting also, that Wiki states correctly that “the belief that all or most Muslims are religious fanatics, have violent tendencies towards non-Muslims, and reject as directly opposed to Islam such concepts as equality, tolerance, and democracy” and does not  even deny it.   I think these good people have their knickers in a twist.

Bunglawussi has a new definition of “Islamophobia” on his website.

Whereas before these creeps claimed that “Islamophobia is anti-Islam bigotry” they now  have a time wasting page that  offers you different kinds of poison, but at least you can chose.

Say what you want about any previous ALP Prime Ministers but at least they had some substance, some backbone. This train-wreck of a leader that we have now has displayed once again just how distant he really is from the true Australian ethos.

Not only is he not demanding that the Indonesians should sign the UN Refugee Convention of 1951 — thus actually dealing with these country shoppers before they sail (or fly) off to the great southern land of liberal softies and no border security — but now he is doing a deal by asking the Indonesians to do the right thing in controlling the disgusting trade of people-smuggling before it becomes our issue. He is even asking if we catch them first, can we can send them back to Indonesia and the Australian taxpayer will foot the bill for the costs incurred by the Indonesian Government?!? How can this be true?

Anti-pornography law challenges the penis-gourd wearers of West Papua

Mohammedan imperialism against the native tribes of Papua

Times Online

There are plenty of people in Indonesia who dislike the idea of the country’s new anti-pornography law, but few of them have quite so much to lose as the penis-gourd wearers of West Papua.

The terms of the law, broad in the extreme, define pornography as “pictures, sketches, photos, writing, voice, sound, moving picture, animation, cartoons, conversation, gestures, or other communications shown in public with salacious content or sexual exploitation that violate the moral values of society”. There seemed to be little doubt that this could be applied to the koteka, a hollowed-out gourd attached to the scrotum and the traditional dress of the tribesmen of the Papuan highlands.

It is not only Papuans who are anxious about the new law. The Hindu island of Bali, whose racy bars and nightclubs are the draw for hundreds of thousands of young tourists, has concerns of its own, as do the practitioners of the traditional, and famously, sensual jaipong dance of west Java.

Indonesia: 1000 Mad Mohammedans Burn Down Two Churches over lack of "permits"

Spencer explains:

In practice, the permit system described in the article below functions rather like a modern-day Pact of Umar, making the construction of churches — or the use of existing buildings as churches — similarly subject to the whims of local Muslim communities. These churches were not approved, and thus, not “protected” under the dhimma pact. “North Sumatra, two Protestant churches burnt: ‘too many faithful and too many prayers’,” by Mathias Hariyadi for AsiaNews, January 23, via JW:

Pamela:

The recent uptick of Islamic “tolerance” of Christianity continues.  Isn’t Indonesia supposed to be one of those so-called “moderate” Islamic countries?

In other news:

It is where Obama grew up Muslim. Why hasn’t he railed against this terror and violence? Whose side is he on? Indonesia: 1000 Muslims Burn  Two Churches/Atlas Shrugs

According to local Muslims, the two buildings did not have the legal permits as “churches.”

But the spokesman for pluralism insists it’s the Christians who need to be sensitive:

He also encouraged Christians to keep good relations with Muslims, showing sensitivity towards them. Trying to build a church, all right – he said – but “it is better and wiser to discuss the plan with the local population to minimize misunderstandings.”…

Did you know? Australia has a "People Smuggling Ambassador"

More coming all the time: Adelaide Now reports:

Boat people stand-off ‘Indonesia’s problem’

AUSTRALIA has rejected an Indonesian call for more help to resolve a long-running asylum seeker stand-off at a Javanese port.

More than 240 Sri Lankan asylum seekers have spent more than three months holed up on their rickety cargo boat at the port of Merak, in Java’s west.

Intercepted by Indonesia at Australia’s request in October, the Tamils do not want to come ashore because they fear they will be forced to wait years for resettlement.

They want instead to be offered a rapid resettlement deal like the one Australia used to coax 78 Tamils off the Oceanic Viking last year.  Of course!

Senior Indonesian officials this week indicated Indonesia would ask Australia for more help to resolve the stand-off.

But the Department on Foreign Affairs and Trade today made it clear the stand-off was Indonesia’s problem.

“The disembarkation of the passengers on the Merak vessel is a matter for the Indonesian government to resolve,” a DFAT spokeswoman said.

DFAT confirmed Australia’s People Smuggling Ambassador Peter Woolcott would travel to Jakarta “shortly” but indicated the Merak crisis would not be on the agenda.

“The Ambassador will be holding general discussions with the Indonesian Government about bilateral co-operation on people smuggling issues,” DFAT said.

Indonesia: Sharia police arrested for gang rape

Call me unsurprised.  Probably the rape victim will be pronounced guilty for indecent conduct and non-observence of the dress code. I guess that makes the rapists the victims of her seduction.

Winston Churchill: “A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.”

DRESS VIOLATION: The Sharia police stop three veiled teenage girls at a beach in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, a city where Islamic religious codes of public behavior are strictly enforced. The girls’ crime: wearing tights. They were told to go home immediately and change into proper attire.

Hotli Simanjuntak , The Jakarta Post , Banda Aceh, Aceh

A serious blow to the credibility and morality of Sharia police in Aceh province, has occurred after several members were detained for an alleged gang rape in Langsa regency.

Police in the regency said Tuesday they had arrested two Sharia police officers, or Wilayatul Hisbah, for reportedly raping a female detainee at the Langsa Sharia Police Station.

The Langsa Police are also hunting down another suspect who is currently on the run.

Langsa Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Yosi Muhammartha said the three suspects were accused of jointly raping a university student when she was held in a cell at the station.

The woman was gang-raped by the three Sharia policeman during her interrogation, he added.

Yosi said the issue began when Sharia police officers were conducting patrol on the night of Jan. 8, and found a couple on the side of the PTPN-1 Langsa ring road.

The police brought the pair to the Sharia police office in Langsa. The suspects then questioned the couple in relation to violating the 2003 Sharia Public Indecency Bylaw.

Top was a terrorist mastermind responsible for the Bali Bombings and multiple terrorist attacks in Indonesia since, with a death toll in the hundreds, initially operating for Jemaah Islamiyah’s banner before splitting off regarding their brand of mass murder as insufficiently ghoulish.

(Some) Indonesian Muslims Mourn Toplessness

Tim Blair:

Indonesia’s sudden Toplessness is a cause of great joy:

Mr Bambang smiled as he held up photographs to show the match between Noordin’s fingerprints and those on police file, as reporters and officers in the room cheered.

Others are not so sure: “In every terrorism raid, part of the public domain is disturbed, we have to take this into consideration to prevent making the people agitated and restless.” Hmm, why would the people become “agitated and restless”  when a terrorist headbanger is eliminated?

Top jihadist, mastermind of Indonesia and Bali jihad attacks, dead

“Terrorist Noordin Top confirmed dead,” from The Sydney Morning Herald, September 18 (thanks to JW):

Jakarta: Terrorist mastermind Noordin Mohammed Top was killed in a police raid on a militant hideout in Central Java on Thursday, Indonesian police have officially confirmed.

The 41-year-old Malaysian-born extremist was one of four militants killed in the raid near Solo, national police chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri told reporters….

* You made me do it!/ gee, I really hope we don’t have that kind of impact on poor Solkar…

Noordin led a hardline splinter group of terror organisation Jemaah Islamiah.

He was the suspected mastermind of July’s attacks on the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta that killed seven, including three Australians.

Authorities believe he also masterminded a 2003 attack on the Marriott, a 2004 attack on Australia’s embassy in Jakarta and the 2005 Bali bombings that killed four Australians.

It’s believed he also helped plan the 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people, including 88 Australians….

Noordin’s death will be a major setback for Islamic extremists throughout Indonesia and Southeast Asia.

Misunderstanders of Islam pass law mandating stoning for adultery

Robert Spencer:

They said they were going to do it, and now they have. Expect Honest Ibe Hooper and Brave Ahmed Rehab of CAIR, of maybe Salam al-Marayati of MPAC, or perhaps M. Cherif Bassiouni, distinguished emeritus yada yada, to make the trip out to Aceh forthwith to explain to the relevant authorities that they’re getting the Religion of Peace and Tolerance all wrong, wrong, wrong — for hey, the Koran doesn’t mandate stoning for adultery!

And indeed, it doesn’t. Find out why Muslims still believe that stoning is mandated by Allah in my new book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran.

Stoned to death

Sheik sez:

suicide bombing and female genital mutilation is also not in the Koran. Does that make it un-Islamic or is it, as our resident blog-troll would have us believe, cultural? But anyhow, our blog-troll also wants us to believe that “things are getting better” in Mohammedania, probably because he sees stoning as an improvement.

“Aceh passes adultery stoning law,” from the BBC, September 14 (thanks to JW):

Indonesia’s province of Aceh has passed a new law making adultery punishable by stoning to death, a member of the province’s parliament has said.

The law was passed unanimously by Aceh’s regional legislature, said assembly member Bahrom Rasjid….Sharia law was partially introduced in Aceh in 2001, as part of a government offer to pacify separatist rebels….

Married people convicted of adultery can be sentenced to death by stoning. Unmarried people can be sentenced to 100 lashes with a cane.

The law also imposes severe sentences for rape, homosexuality, alcohol consumption and gambling.

Indonesian Province Vows to Stone Adulterers…

Not that this has anything to do with Islam. Must be a cultural or tribal thing…. Only radicals or extremists would do something like that. The reason they do it is simply because blogs like WoJ report it, which infuriates  peaceful Muslims who then angrily  stone their womenfolk. The all new improved Islam with 17 secret herbs and spices will be a lot better than the old one, right Solker?

“Unmarried people who commit adultery will be caned one hundred times and married persons will be stoned to death,” Raihan Iskandar, a provincial lawmaker from the Islamic-based Prosperous Justice Party, told AFP.
