McLEAN (AP) - Textbooks at a private Islamic school in Northern Virginia teach students that it is permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and converts from Islam, according to a federal investigation released Wednesday.
Other passages in the school’s textbooks state that “the Jews conspired against Islam and its people” and that Muslims are permitted to take the lives and property of those deemed “polytheists.”
The passages were found in selected textbooks used during the 2007-08 school year by the Islamic Saudi Academy, which teaches 900 students in grades K-12 at two campuses in Alexandria and Fairfax and receives much of its funding from the Saudi government.
The academy has come under scrutiny from critics who charge that it fosters an intolerant brand of Islam similar to that taught in the conservative Saudi kingdom. In the review, the panel recommended that the school make all of its textbooks available to the State Department so changes can be made before the next school year.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, a panel formed by Congress, last year recommended that the school be closed amid concerns that it promotes violence and too closely mimics the conservative Saudi educational system.
Although Holocaust denial has long been a common theme among Palestinians, Hamas has added a ’sinister twist,’ claiming that the Jews themselves devised the Holocaust to exterminate the disabled and handicapped among them so they wouldn’t be a burden to the future State of Israel.The documentary, which aired on Hamas Al-Aksa television on April 18 - two weeks before Israel marks Holocaust Remembrance Day on Thursday — was translated by the Palestinian Media Watch and can be found on YouTube.Over archival footage of the first Israeli leaders, a Holocaust death camp and Nazi Germany, a narrator “quotes” Israel’s first Prime Minister David Ben Gurion as saying that the “disabled and handicapped” represent a “heavy burden” to the state.
“The Satanic Jews thought up an evil plot [the Holocaust] to be rid of the burden of the disabled and handicapped, in twisted criminal ways,” the narrator says.
“While they accuse the Nazis or others so that Jews would seem persecuted and try to benefit from international sympathy, they were the first to invent the methods of evil and oppression,” the narrator says.
As part of the documentary, Amin Dabur, head of the Palestinian Center for Strategic Research, called the Holocaust “a joke” and said it was “part of the perfect show that Ben Gurion put on.”
“[He] focused on strong and energetic youth [for Israel], while the rest - the disabled, the handicapped, and the people with special needs were sent [to die],” Dabur charged. “They were sent [to die] so there would be a holocaust, so Israel could ‘play’ it for the world sympathy,” he said.
The narrator says the “alleged numbers” of Jews killed in the Holocaust was exaggerated for propaganda purposes.
“Holocaust denial has been a common theme in the Palestinian Authority for many years, among politicians [and] academics both from the Fatah and the Hamas,” PMW director, Itamar Marcus told Cybercast News Service.
“What’s unusual about this it’s a new sinister twist where they’re acknowledging that Jews were killed, but they’re saying they were killed by Jews themselves for the purpose of genetic enrichment, which is of course a horrific libel,” Marcus said.
At the opening of the annual commemoration for Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day on Wednesday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the voices of Holocaust deniers are still being heard.
“Their animosity drives them insane, and they foolishly deny the greatest horror ever known to humanity. To them — the haters, the deniers and the devisers of malice, wherever they may be — and to all those who allow them to act, we say on this day: never again!” Olmert told those gathered at Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem, the country’s main holocaust memorial.
“Historical accuracy does not interest you. You wish to deny the justifiability of the existence of a Jewish state — and (you) are wrong to think that the Jewish state was established as a result of the Holocaust,” Olmert said. He added that Holocaust deniers believe that if they invalidate the Holocaust, they can also invalidate the reason for the existence of the State of Israel.
Olmert wondered who would have believed that 63 years after the end of World War II, “hatred of Jews and Israelis would rear its ugly head in so many different places around the globe, provocatively and venomously, inciting hatred.”
Hamas, which has the support of Iran, is sworn to the destruction of Israel. The organization, which is on the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations, wants to establish an Islamic Palestinian state in all of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Israel.
Radical Muslim paramilitary compound flourishes in upper New York state
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
Msgt Theresa’s comment below in the post about the polygamist chicks sparked my memory of this post from Jihad Watch a year ago.
“So, when the “compounds” of islam worshipers, like the ones springing up across the country are monitored and found to be in violation of whatever laws, will the authorities react as aggressively against them or will they be held up by the PC bullshit currently in place when we deal with “islam”?”
Would the government be so eager to bust onto this little complex vs the one with a bunch of psychologically disturb women?
Islamberg, New York: “You can hear gunfire up there. I can’t understand why the FBI won’t shut it down”
(Jihad Watch Link) The intrepid Paul Williams has a report in Canada Free Press (thanks to all who sent this in) about his visit to Islamberg, New York, a camp run by the jihadist Jamaat ul-Fuqra group. The inhabitants wouldn’t let him into the compound, but he talked to some of the locals, and found out a good deal:
Islamberg is not as benign as a Buddhist monastery or a Carmelite convent. Nearly every weekend, neighbors hear sounds of gunfire. Some, including a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, have heard the bang of small explosives. None of the neighbors wished to be identified for fear of “retaliation.” “We don’t even dare to slow down when we drive by,” one resident said. “They own the mountain and they know it and there is nothing we can do about it but move, and we can’t even do that. Who wants to buy a property near that?”The complex serves to scare the bejeesus out of the local residents. “If you go there, you better wear body armor,” a customer at the Circle E Diner in Hancock said. “They have armed guards and if they shoot you, nobody will find your body.”
At Cousins, a watering hole in nearby Deposit, a barfly, who didn’t wish to be identified, said: “The place is dangerous. You can hear gunfire up there. I can’t understand why the FBI won’t shut it down.”
Islamberg is a branch of Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt organization formed in 1980 by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, who refers to himself as “the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr,” Gilani, has been directly linked by court documents to Jamaat ul-Fuqra or “community of the impoverished,” an organization that seeks to “purify” Islam through violence.
Though primarily based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has operational headquarters in New York and openly recruits through various social service organizations in the U.S., including the prison system. Members live in hamaats or compounds, such as Islamberg, where they agree to abide by the laws of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which are considered to be above local, state and federal authority. Additional hamaats have been established in Hyattsville, Maryland; Red House, Virginia; Falls Church, Virginia; Macon, Georgia; York, South Carolina; Dover, Tennessee; Buena Vista, Colorado; Talihina, Oklahoma; Tulane Country, California; Commerce, California; and Onalaska, Washington. Others are being built, including an expansive facility in Sherman, Pennsylvania.
Read it all. And then contact your congressman.

Old NY Post Story: CATSKILLS SITE EYED June 4, 2007 — A remote Muslim commune nestled in the Catskill Mountains has come under the scrutiny of state and federal authorities for possible ties to terrorism, according to law-enforcement sources.
Officials say Islamberg - a wooded, 70-acre encampment in upstate Tompkins, about three hours north of the city - acts as the headquarters for an outfit called Muslims of the Americas, widely believed to be a front for Jamaat al-Fuqra, founded by radical Pakistani cleric Mubarak Ali Gilani.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP - Link) — An Iowa Republican congressman on Monday defended his prediction that terrorists would celebrate if Democrat Barack Obama were elected president, despite a rebuke from aides to John McCain, the GOP’s apparent presidential nominee.
“(Obama will) certainly be viewed as a savior for them,” Rep. Steve King told The Associated Press. “That’s why you will see them supporting him, encouraging him.”
King said his offices have been bombarded with calls — positive and negative — since he said Friday that al-Qaida “would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror.”
King cited Obama’s pledge to pull U.S. troops from Iraq, his father’s Muslim roots in Kenya and his middle name, Hussein, which King said has a meaning to terrorists.
Asked about the remarks as he campaigned in Mississippi, Obama said, “I think that Mr. King has it backwards. The fact that the continuation of a presence in Iraq as Senator McCain has suggested is exactly what, I think, will fan the flames of anti-American sentiment and make it more difficult for us to create a long-term and sustainable peace in the world.
“But I have to say that Mr. King and individuals like him thrive on offensive or controversial statements as a way to get in the papers, so I don’t take it too seriously. I would hope Senator McCain would want to distance himself from that kind of inflammatory and offensive remarks,” Obama said.

Remember the pic that fatass Rosie posted of her kid, Future liberal terrorist in training?
Of course, Mos Def confuses treason with terrorism. As far as the King was concerned, George Washington and his fellow separatists were traitors, not terrorists since the Continental army never attacked civilians, as far as I know, to achieve their political ends.
And since Mos Def gets his info from the local barbershop…
(oh God I almost choked I laughed so hard)
… it is unlikely he ever read the pamphlets of Thomas Paine or he would have read the arguments for separation from England were based on reason and the rights of man and not on violence against innocent women and children. Conflating Islamic terrorists with George Washington as if they operated in the same manner only shows Mos Def’s ignorance of this country’s history and lack of appreciation for the deadly threat posed by Islamic terrorists.
Fanatics demanding Mrs Gibbons’ execution by firing squad streamed out of mosques yesterday after prayers — grabbing machetes, knives and clubs.The hate-filled protesters — whipped into a frenzy by religious leaders — converged on the presidential palace as it emerged Gillian was an INNOCENT victim of a vindictive school secretary.
Pictures of Gillian, 54, were burned as hardline clerics in pick-up trucks chanted through loudhailers: “No one lives who insults the prophet.”
Hundreds of riot police refused to intervene — even though the demo threatened to spiral out of control. Fearful officials moved their prisoner to a different jail for her own safety.
Hundreds of placard-waving extremists marched on the city’s Unity High School — where Gillian taught.
She was jailed even though the bear, used in a project on animals, was named by her PUPILS after one of their classmates.
Demonstrators then headed towards the nearby British Embassy — before security forces finally stopped them.
Read the rest, but why bother, this is just retarded on so many levels.
The Washington Times serves up a nice, juicy slab of red meat to conservatives today with an exposé of an Islamist plot to attack the US through Mexico. According to Sara Carter, Fort Huachuca had to change its security procedures after determining that radical Islamists had forges an alliance with Mexican drug cartels to attack it. The US has detained Afghans and Iraqis in Texas after detaining them in connection to the plot:
Fort Huachuca, the nation’s largest intelligence-training center, changed security measures in May after being warned that Islamist terrorists, with the aid of Mexican drug cartels, were planning an attack on the facility.Fort officials changed security measures after sources warned that possibly 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were to be smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels with high-powered weapons to attack the Arizona Army base, according to multiple confidential law enforcement documents obtained by The Washington Times.
“A portion of the operatives were in the United States, with the remainder not yet in the United States,” according to one of the documents, an FBI advisory that was distributed to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the CIA, Customs and Border Protection and the Justice Department, among several other law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. “The Afghanis and Iraqis shaved their beards so as not to appear to be Middle Easterners.”
Sixty foreign fighters wanted to attack Fort Huachuca? It would make a tempting target for both drug cartels and Islamist radicals to be sure. It houses the US Army Intelligence Center and provides training for military intelligence units. The NCOA also trains the backbone of the Army — its non-commissioned officers. An attack on this base would make headlines around the world.
Ok, I’m a bit tardy in blogging today, a bit out of it, I need some coffee and I still have a slight hangover from the loss of my 49ers.
Anywho, I have been reading and watching the TC coverage of moronic leader from Iran and Columbia’s invitation to allow this dickhead to speak on their campus.
Ya know I just can’t get that outraged over his visit, most academic institutions of higher learning certainly would love to have a thug dictator come and visit their campus. He is one of them. Columbia simply has the prestige and frankly the balls to pull it off.
I was watching some students on TV last night actually welcoming and looking forward to hearing what he has to say. While watching these ridiculously moronic students give their reasons for welcoming him I am simply reminded that these jackasses will be the leaders of tomorrow, they are the Mr. and Mrs. Bill’s of the future.
These chronic liberals skulls full of mush actually believe that vile dictators like Ahmadinejad can be bargained with, reasoned with and that meaningful dialogue, learning and happy talk will make things all better.
I swear folks all I can do is smile and thank God almighty, I am not a liberal.
It may seem like a small thing or even a trivial thing, but anybody who actually is incapable of seeing through Ahmadinejad bullshit, while at the same time totally ignoring the lunacy that goes on in Iran and what his ultimate goals are need serious mental health counseling.
As NYC prepares for numerous protests against Iran’s Islamofascist “leader”’s speaking engagement at Columbia U, conservatives on college campuses across the country are busy preparing for Islamofascism Awareness Week:
Beginning on October 22, student groups across the nation will hold Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week on their campuses. These protest weeks will feature a series of events designed to bring a message to these academic communities that challenges most of what students are taught about the so-called War on Terror both in the classroom and on the quad.
The Week’s events will include speeches about Islamo-Fascism by prominent figures, including former Senator Rick Santorum (Penn State, Temple and UPenn), Sean Hannity (Columbia), Ann Coulter (Tulane and USC), Dennis Prager (UC Santa Barbara), Robert Spencer (Brown, Dartmouth, University of Rhode Island, and DePaul), Daniel Pipes (Northeastern and UPenn), David Horowitz (Columbia, Emory, Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin), Michael Ledeen (Maryland), Nonie Darwish (UCLA and Berkeley), Wafa Sultan (Stanford) and radio talk show hosts Melanie Morgan (San Francisco State), Michael Medved (University of Washington), Martha Zoeller (Georgia Tech), Alan Nathan (George Mason), Mark Larson (to be named) and many others.
A major theme of the Week will be the oppression of women in Islam. The photo accompanying this article, which shows a teenage girl buried before being stoned to death for alleged sexual offenses, will serve as the poster for the protest Week. The stoning took place in Iran.
Muslim terrorist leaders are “thankful” for the efforts of activist and congressional candidate Cindy Sheehan, stating in a new book Sheehan’s anti-Iraq war activities and her statements against President Bush “give us hope” the U.S. will change its Mideast policies.
“You [Sheehan] give us hope and you show us that there are different Americans than those whom we know,” stated Ramadan Adassi, chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group in the West Bank’s Anskar Refugee Camp.
“This sincere woman says what we’ve been saying all these last years – Saddam never threatened America or its security. Now Iraq is being decimated and America is losing. Voices like Sheehan’s show things can change,” said Adassi.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) — Suspected Islamic militants beheaded two women accused of prostitution in northwestern Pakistan, police said Friday, in the latest case of Taliban-style justice in the region.The bodies of the women in their 40s were dumped on the outskirts of the conservative town of Bannu, near the Afghan border, a day after they were abducted by gunmen, district police officer Dar Ali Khattak.
Pro-Taliban militants in Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province and its lawless tribal areas bordering Afghanistan are waging a violent campaign for the introduction of strict Sharia law.
A note left with the corpses accused the women of being involved in prostitution with the support of local officials, and warned others like them that they would be punished in the same way, Khattak told AFP.
Muslims are getting on my fucken nerves too; perpetually outraged about bullshit, disrupting flights, praying in the middle of fucken streets, wanting the rest of society to conform to “their” way of thinking and now they want laws changed.
Is there anything else you people want!?
Why my liberal friends fail to see with clarity what the leaders of our enemies say openly and without reservation, is a mystery to me. Do they want to live under a totalitarian, religiously fanatic dictatorship? Or is it that they disbelieve the intentions of our enemies? Or perhaps it’s all a question of willfully blinding ones self to reality in the desperate hope that it will all go away and that the age of aquariums will be upon us again?Iran’s President Ahmedinejad today (August 14, 2007) at the Iranian Embassy in Kabul:
“There is no truth on earth but monotheism and following tenets of Islam and there is no way for salvation of mankind but rule of Islam over mankind…the world is on verge of a great upheaval and the umma at this juncture shoulder a heavy responsibility that is introducing genuine Islam as it is….nations today have no haven but religion…all of us have the duty to resist the enemy by closing our ranks….Islam belongs to all generations and Muslims should get ready for the global mission of Islam.”
C’mon do you really care about this, liberals and the media apparently don’t.
Dude is just viewed as the krazy little man “over there,” he is a harmless little fuzzball.
Let’s just ignore his past statements like; Israel should be wiped off the map, the Holocaust never happened, due to Iran’s importance to the world supply of oil, the West won’t dare to oppose Iran in any matter.
I’m just wondering if the Democrats running for the White House takes this crazy bastard seriously.
Ahmadinejad is part of fundamentalist Islam’s 13-centuries-old war of conquest targeting non-Muslims with the goal of imposing Islam on all the nations of the world and he wants nukes so as to destroy Israel as part of this war of conquest.
He is also quite determined to dictate his will to non-Muslim countries and to use nuclear power to pursue his goal of imposing Islam on those countries.
The next president better be prepared to deal with this nut and be willing to deal with his push in obtaining nuclear weapons.
When will the West awaken? Of course, I am not talking about your ordinary citizen or soldier but about our Talking Heads and other gate-keeping chatterers who simply refuse to “get it.”Cambridge University Press not only recalls but has promised to pulp the book that authoritatively documents one Saudi billionaire’s funding of terror; many anti-jihadic writers and all our leading mainstream media have privately apologized to this same billionaire. Only Rachel Ehrenfeld has refused to “apologize” for telling the truth and has counter-sued him in an American court of law based on her First Amendment right to tell the truth. (She was initially sued in London where she lost by default; she chose not to appear in court).
At a recent conference in Los Angeles, sponsored by the American Freedom Alliance, Daniel Pipes announced his intention to start a legal defense bail fund for those who are sued by Islamists and their Western apologists for telling the truth. Not a moment too soon–although, regrettably, perhaps too late for Ehrenfeld. And, The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has begun a process of legal intimidation against my esteemed colleague, Robert Spencer. Accordingly, David Horowitz has launched a legal defense fund for Spencer. I have pledged money to this and advise us all to do the same.
Before this war is over, we will each need legal defense funds. And that’s if we’re lucky. Those in the Islamic East need bodyguards and air-lifts to safety in the West. But there is a pattern emerging in the West which we ignore at our own peril.
For example, a leading American publisher of law enforcement and counter-terrorism titles cancelled Dr. Nancy Kobrin’s book about Islamic suicide terrorism. I wrote the Introduction for it and together Dr. Kobrin and I “went public.” A number of other publishers emerged–but they quickly disappeared too.
I have been trying to find a publisher for a book titled The Islamification of America and guess what? No takers so far. I am ready to self-publish the work.
This is a very special kind of Gulag. The internet provides us with the most sophisticated and universal of platforms for such 21st-century “samizdats.”
We who write in the America are so far lucky. We are legally intimidated. We are silenced on campuses due to the “politically correct” ideologies that rule there. True, the American Jewish Committee recently paid for a full page New York Times ad signed by American college presidents who oppose the eternally-intended British boycott of Israeli academics and who bravely suggest that they be boycotted too. Well and good.
But guess who did not sign? Harvard, Yale, Vassar, California State University at Berkeley, Los Angeles, UCLA, San Francisco State, and of course, Norman Finkelstein’s old perch, De Paul in Chicago. (Maybe I’m wrong, maybe they did sign in a Harry Potter kind of way in invisible ink).
But this is nothing compared to what Muslim intellectuals (and women and human beings) must endure in the Islamic world today. If they are lucky, they live in exile or in hiding and write under pseudonyms. A handful write openly and travel with bodyguards.
I am just told that Taslima Nasrin was, yet again, attacked by one hundred angry Muslim fanatics as she held a press conference in Hyderabad, India, to launch her new book. Nasrin, a physician and a feminist author who was born in Bangladesh, was once nearly lynched by a mighty mob there. She fled her country and lived in exile in Sweden and in hiding. Now, she lives in India where dozens of Muslim protesters, led by three lawmakers physically attacked her and her co-panelists. They demanded that India extradite her to Bangladesh (I guess for the kind of justice Bangladesh has meted out to that other hero, parliamentarian Chadhury, who was imprisoned and tortured because he wanted to visit Israel).
Her works have been banned in Bangladesh. She is being accused of being “anti-Islam.”
Islamists are moving against us in the West very carefully and in legal ways. In the overly revered “Third World” they speak in violence, their speech IS violence.
I hope that Taslima Nasrin remains safe and in India. And that the sleeping giant awakens before we have all been sued and censored into silence.
Update: LGF has background about the arresting officer. Allah has more legal analysis based on the complaint. And Christopher Hitchens weighs in:
Before me is a recent report that a student at Pace University in New York City has been arrested for a hate crime in consequence of an alleged dumping of the Quran. Nothing repels me more than the burning or desecration of books, and if, for example, this was a volume from a public or university library, I would hope that its mistreatment would constitute a misdemeanor at the very least. But if I choose to spit on a copy of the writings of Ayn Rand or Karl Marx or James Joyce, that is entirely my business. When I check into a hotel room and send my free and unsolicited copy of the Gideon Bible or the Book of Mormon spinning out of the window, I infringe no law, except perhaps the one concerning litter. Why do we not make this distinction in the case of the Quran? We do so simply out of fear, and because the fanatical believers in that particular holy book have proved time and again that they mean business when it comes to intimidation. Surely that should be to their discredit rather than their credit. Should not the “moderate” imams of On Faith have been asked in direct terms whether they are, or are not, negotiating with a gun on the table?
The Pace University incident becomes even more ludicrous and sinister when it is recalled that Islamists are the current leaders in the global book-burning competition.
By Robert Spencer Jihad Watch: “Islamophobic” or Informed?
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007
Some reflections on some recent polls, in FrontPage today (news links in the original):
A new Newsweek Poll on American attitudes toward Muslims and Islam has found that 46 percent of Americans believe that the United States is taking in too many Muslim immigrants. 32 percent think that Muslims in America are less loyal to the United States than they are to Islam. 28 percent believe that the Qur’an condones violence, and 41 percent hold that Islamic culture “glorifies suicide.” 54 percent are either “somewhat worried” or “very worried” about Islamic jihadists in this country, and 52 percent support FBI surveillance of mosques, with the same percentage rejecting the claim of American Muslim advocacy groups that Muslims are being singled out by investigators and police.
What are we to make of these figures? Do they mean that American Muslim advocacy groups have to do more to combat “Islamophobia”? That is the likely response: watch now for the follow-up stories about “Islamophobia,” in which the onus for all the attitudes displayed in this poll is placed firmly and solely upon non-Muslim Americans, as if Muslims were an entirely innocent, passive group that was doing nothing whatsoever to make anyone suspicious or angry at all. Newsweek itself led this off by asserting in another article published along with the poll that Muslims in America are “vulnerable as never before.” That story began with an account of a Muslim in Cleveland asking George W. Bush: “What are we doing with public diplomacy to change the hearts and minds of a billion and a half Muslims around the world?” The unspoken assumption behind this question is that Muslim fury at the West stems entirely from the actions of the United States and other Western countries, and not from anything within the Islamic world itself. Daud Abdullah, the Deputy Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), expressed another aspect of this view after the recent jihad plots were discovered in London and Glasgow, when he suggested that the religion of the attackers was incidental to their plots: “Let’s not create a hypothetical problem…it can be the work of Muslims, Christians, Jews or Buddhists.”
7/2/07 ( Yala, Thailand ) - Muslim radicals murder a 47-year-old rubber tapper on his way to work.
7/2/07 ( Narathiwat, Thailand ) - A 28-year-old villager is shot to death by Islamists.
7/1/07 ( Pattani, Thailand ) - Muslim terrorists fire on a group of young students, killing a 58-year-old teacher and injuring two boys, ages 9 and 11.
7/1/07 ( Pattani, Thailand ) - A woman is killed, and two other people injured when Islamic gunmen fire into a Buddhist tea shop.
7/1/07 ( Grozny, Chechnya ) - A landmine attack kills two Russians.
7/1/07 ( Helmand, Afghanistan ) - A British soldier is killed by a suicide bomber.
Moments after the latest terror attack on Britain, television commentators engaged in the usual rhetorical hara-kiri, blaming everyone but its authors: the two Muslim jihadists jumping out of a burning car at Glasgow’s international airport ululating “Allah! Allah!” — even as one of them was barbecued — and the European Union’s vast Muslim fundamentalist infrastructure, which spawned them.
The initial discussions of the three car bombs — two in central London were defused, unexploded — were déjà vu writ large: Blaming the victims, criticizing British foreign policy offenses that might have “driven” British Muslims to kill their countrymen, highlighting the frustrations of minority communities forced to live in the West, and renewing calls for — yes, indeed — more interreligious dialogue.
It was not much better in America. With live images of the Glasgow International Airport fires blazing away, American networks hosted the so-called experts who, again, explained the “torment” of poor Muslims. Disgracefully, one guest — Michael Scheuer, a former CIA analyst who is a familiar face now whenever instant analysis is needed — droned on about the many reasons Muslims are “so” offended by this or that behavior in the West.
Host: “We will now take a short break to present the Palestinian childhood, and some scenes from the celebration in the kindergartens of the Islamic Association.”
“We followed this ceremony of the graduation of the 29th class of the Islamic Association’s kindergartens. Let’s watch the report, and then we’ll be back to complete the discussion.”
Girls’ Show
[…]
Host: “All the best. Stay with us to watch this performance by the children of Palestine.
Boys’ Show.
Boys: “Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah.”
“Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah.”
“Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah.”
“Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah.”
“Who is your role model? The Prophet.”
“Who is your role model? The Prophet.”
“What is your path? Jihad.”
“What is your path? Jihad.”
“What is your most lofty aspiration? Death for the sake of Allah.”
“What is your most lofty aspiration? Death for the sake of Allah. “
Maybe because I’m in a cranky mood but I’m so sick of these Muslim terrorist fucks running their mouths about another pending attack, just fucken do it already and stop talking shit.
I’m sick of these America is evil bla bla bla, kill Jews bla bla bla, another 9/11 bla bla bla bitch fests. Just fuck off and die or tell your pending doom stories to John Edwards because he thinks Muslim terrorists are just a figment of our collective imagination anyway.
An American member of Al-Qaeda warned in an Internet video that US President George W. Bush should withdraw all his troops from Muslim land or face attacks worse than September 11. Adam Gadahn, a convert to Islam who has been indicted for treason by a US jury, issued a list of demands and warned they were not up for negotiation.“Your failure to heed our demands means that you and your people… will experience things that will make you forget all about the horrors of September 11, Afghanistan and Iraq, and Virginia Tech,” he said in the video posted on Tuesday.
“You’re losing on all fronts and losing big time,” said Gadahn, who is the English-language spokesman for Osama bin Laden’s terror network.
The tape entitled “Legitimate Demands” was produced by As-Sahab, a media outfit that specialises in Al-Qaeda online material.
Gadahn — sporting a headress, glasses and long beard — said Bush had “embroiled his nation in a series of unwinable and bloody conflicts in the Islamic world.”
He also called on the United States to cease support for the “bastard state of Israel” and the “56-plus apostate regimes of the Muslim world” and to free all Muslims from its prisons.
“We don’t negotiate with war criminals and baby killers like you. No, these are legitimate demands which must be met,” he said.
Born in 1978, Gadahn — also known Azzam al-Amriki and Azzam the American — is a native of southern California and has appeared in several videotapes for Al-Qaeda since 2004.
His conversion to Islam came after he began attending the Islamic Centre of Orange County in California, where he is believed to have come under the influence of two foreign-born Islamic radicals.
Gadahn’s reference to Virginia Tech was to the shooting of 32 people at the university by Korean-born gunman Cho Seung-hui who then turned the gun on himself.
“Good man. Snoop pissed me off yesterday (my Ron Paul rant) something fierce, to the point I considered writing him an email, or never reading the poop again…”
bin Laden himself said: “And as I looked at those demolished towers in Lebanon, it entered my mind that we should punish the oppressor in kind and that we should destroy towers in America in order that they taste some of what we tasted and so that they be deterred from killing our women and children…the events of September 11th came as a reply to those great wrongs…”
El Borak: “What the argument is not about is whether America deserved it, and that’s not what Paul is saying. What he is saying is that our bombing of and sanctions against Muslims, our troops in the Middle East, and our support of Israel are bound to create (and did create) just this sort of blowback. In short, he’s saying that our long-standing policy of meddling in the Middle East is liable to and did underlie the reasons for 9/11.
Ok we dropped two nukes on Japan…and we put Japanese in camps and stripped them of well…..everything!… so when should America expect retaliation? Just askin!
Well we do have Toyota kicking the shit out of Ford and GM. Economic retaliation is a bitch!
El Borak’s latest comment:
“I for one will NEVER stop reading Snoop, especially if he pisses me off. The only blogs I give up on are those that cease to engage me, and Snoop never has a problem doing that. But he’s still wrong on this one.”
“if people want to believe it more likely that Muslims are killing themselves over our unveiled women* than our unleashed war machine, there’s not muchO I can do about that. Such a position is comforting because it, as Terry notes, “avoids the necessity of self-examination and making changes at home.” Not to mention it plays well in the primaries.”
I screwed up this earlier because I was in a hurry. El Borak responded to my comments about Ron Paul:
My good man Snoop gets Ron Paul wrong:
“I have never understood the concept the trying to ban someone from speaking because folks did not like what was said.
Ron Paul is a fucken nobody and has no shot whatsoever of getting the Republican nomination.
Yes he is a nut job and a silly bastard. His statement was outrageous and over the top stupid. Hell Rudy does not want him banned from future debates, he personally raised Rudys poll numbers, shit I bet Rudy paid him to make the comments.”
El Borak: What he’s talking about is the efforts of the Chairman of the Michigan GOP to ban Ron Paul from some GOP debates for saying, “Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we have been over there.”
Weve been bombing Iraq for 10 years. In other words, Paul is claiming that 9/11 was not simply a provocation, but a reaction to US policy dating back to the Clinton years and probably further, that it was a case of “blowback,” an unintended consequence of our own actions.
Where Snoop is right is that Paul cannot win the GOP nomination and that he probably helps Rudy, especially among the GOP faithful. But where I think he’s wrong is in saying that Paul’s assertion is “over the top stupid.” Rather I think he’s right on.
The clue that he’s not simply making this up onstage is found in the phrase, “Have you ever read,” and there are a number of places where one might have read just that:
I love my man El Borak but…..blowback….hardly, I’m not a complex thinker like El, but I found this piece below that I posted on my old blog.
As far as I’m concerned, if American had never set foot in the Middle East we would still be a target.
The same way Democrats creates class envy by continuing to repeat the oft used phrase, “tax the rich” “Republicans are racist” creating class envy and racial strife is what keep many Democrats in power.
Muslims are no different, they want their people to stay ignorant, vengeful, and hostile, it keeps power in the hand of a few.
Anywho check out both and you decide.

Democracy is the formal icing on a preexisting cake of egalitarianism, economic opportunity, religious tolerance, and constant self-criticism. It cannot appear in the Muslim world until men and women demolish the medieval forces of tribalism, authoritarian traditionalism, and Islamic fundamentalism.
The catastrophe of the Muslim world is also explicable in its failure to grasp the nature of Western success, which springs neither from luck nor resources, genes nor geography.
Like third-world Marxists of the 1960s, who put blame for their own self-inflicted misery upon corporations, colonialism, and racism—anything other than the absence of real markets and a free society—the Islamic intelligentsia recognizes the Muslim world’s inferiority towards the West, but it then seeks to fault others for its own self-created fiasco.
Government spokesmen in the Middle East should have the courage to say that they are poor because their populations are nearly half illiterate, that their governments are not free, that their economies are not open, and that their fundamentalists impede scientific inquiry, unpopular expression, and cultural exchange.
Tragically, the immediate prospects for improvement are dismal, as the war against terrorism has further isolated the Middle East. Travel, foreign education, and academic exchanges — the only sources of future hope for the Arab world — have screeched to a halt.
All the conferences in Cairo about Western bias and media distortion cannot hide this self-inflicted catastrophe — and the growing ostracism and suspicion of Middle Easterners in the West.
But blaming the West for the unendurable reality is easier for millions of Muslims than admitting the truth.
Billions of barrels of oil, large populations, the Suez Canal, the fertility of the Nile, Tigris, and Euphrates valleys, invaluable geopolitical locations, and a host of other natural advantages that helped create wealthy civilizations in the past now yield an excess of misery, rather than the riches of resource-poor Hong Kong or Switzerland.
How could it be otherwise, when it takes bribes and decades to obtain a building permit in Cairo; when habeas corpus is a cruel joke in Baghdad; and when Saudi Arabia turns out more graduates in Islamic studies than in medicine or engineering?
To tackle illiteracy, state-sanctioned killing, and the economic misery that comes from corruption and state control require courage and self-examination.
This is why Hamas has been ostracized by the world:
A Mickey Mouse look-alike named Farfur is teaching Palestinian children the ABCs of terror on Hamas’ official television station, Al-Aqsa TV.
On the weekly program “Tomorrow’s Pioneers,” Farfur and a young girl name Saraa’ tell children to pray five times each day and drink their milk, while urging the children to “resist” the “oppressive invading Zionist occupation.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is arguably the bravest and most remarkable woman of our times.
To understand why this 37-year-old woman is extraordinary, she must be assessed in the context of the forces pitted against her in her twin struggles to force the Western world to take note of Islam’s divinely ordained enslavement of women, and to force the Islamic world to account for it.
A series of incidents this week placed the forces she battles in stark relief. Sunday Muslims shot up the Omariyah elementary school in Gaza. One man was killed and six were wounded in the onslaught. The murderers attacked because the UN-run school in Rafah had organized a sports day for the children, in which little boys would be playing with little girls.
The idea that that boys and girls might play sports together was too much for the righteous believers. It was an insult to Islam, they said. And so they decided to kill the little boys and girls.
If this wasn’t a ‘dry run’ or a ‘casing’ then I have no other explanation than that they were trying to get noticed so they could then decry our nations ‘prejudice’.
I’d say that the next step would be a press conference from CAIR, but it looks like even they are avoiding this one because of the apparent insanity. It’s civil rights litigation 101: look for sympathetic clients. Kimberly “Asma” Al-Homsi is no Rosa Parks.
She has already been convicted of an unrelated bomb hoax. Oh, and she likes to practice her sniping skills down at the local gun range wearing her fill Islamic garb.
