Good Morning!

Is this news?

Liz Ard,they are everything the moonbats want to be.
But daddy might cut off the funds if they start cutting off hands, so they just act as cheerleaders for thir heros.

Ofcourse all religions are equal. We do the same kind of death cult chanting at the Vatican.

"Tastes great!"

"Less filling!"

We used to do this kind of cheer at UVa football games:

This is like a SNL skit ... pep rally in hell. I wonder if Al Qaeda had a recruiting table nearby ...

Lemme see...what was that chant we did Friday night at services. Translates something like "grant us peace." Hey..that's pretty close to Death to Someone, isn't it? No?

"Death to America"

Now, let's not say anything about JDAMs, bottled sunshine, "target-rich environment," and so on, lest we get accused of being "genocidal right-wing fascists."

This is simply a different form of cultural expression.

I went to church yesterday. Didn't hear anything even close to this. Come to think of it, I never have.

And this chanting passes for moral religious doctrine? This comes from their highest religious leaders.

Birds cry "Death to Mecca!" (and the rest of us, too);

Officials in the kingdom have been on high alert after warnings from health experts that the gathering at Mecca, Islam's birthplace, of more than 2m pilgrims from around the Muslim world could provide conditions for a deadly bird flu pandemic.

I think the State Department finally got the "even-handed" policy they always wanted toward Israel.

I watched a public tv program on the Hajj. It was made a couple of years ago and followed two American muslims who attended. I didn't hear anything like those chants. Do you suppose the Memri TV report is wrong?

Don't forget "Death" is a sacred word to Muslims. It is a cry against injustice. When Muslims scream "Death to ___!" they are actually saying is "We demand a just accounting of our grievances against ___ before an impartial third party!"

The Hajj is so peaceful that every year a number of the faithful are trampled to death. Sure makes me want to go.

Well, I have a break in my classes at the moment, and this video with the printed commentary which I just finished xeroxing is going to be my current event of the day with my seniors next period.

This morning's free paper on the T, the Metro, had on its front page, though below the fold, an artistic, soft-lit shot of Muslim pilgrims holding candles climbing the hill of "forgiveness". I wondered why the "Great Satan" stone-throwing event was not highlighted...but then again, why ask why?

Really. How would your typical American parents feel if I urged my students to chant, "Death to Ahmadinnerjacket, Death to Iran, Death to Saudi Arabia"?
I would be reprimanded severely, and told to attend sensitivity sessions.

1 Samuel 15:10-23
10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 "I regret that I made Saul king, for he has turned away from following Me and has not carried out My instructions." So Samuel became angry and cried out to the Lord [all] night. 12 Early in the morning Samuel got up to confront Saul, but it was reported to Samuel, "Saul went to Carmel where he set up a monument for himself. Then he turned around and went down to Gilgal." 13 When Samuel came to him, Saul said, "May the Lord bless you. I have carried out the Lord's instructions."

14 Samuel replied, "Then what is this sound of sheep and cattle I hear?"

15 Saul answered, "The troops brought them from the Amalekites and spared the best sheep and cattle in order to offer a sacrifice to the Lord your God, but the rest we destroyed."

16 "Stop!" exclaimed Samuel. "Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night."

"Tell me," he replied.

17 Samuel continued, "Although you once considered yourself unimportant, have you not become the leader of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel 18 and then sent you on a mission and said: 'Go and completely destroy the sinful Amalekites. Fight against them until you have annihilated them.' 19 So why didn't you obey the Lord? Why did you rush on the plunder and do what was evil in the Lord's sight?"

20 "But I did obey the Lord!" Saul answered. "I went on the mission the Lord gave me: I brought back Agag, king of Amalek, and I completely destroyed the Amalekites. 21 The troops took sheep and cattle from the plunder-the best of what was set apart for destruction-to sacrifice to the Lord your God at Gilgal."

22 Then Samuel said:
Does the Lord take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as much as in obeying the Lord?
Look: to obey is better than sacrifice,
to pay attention [is better] than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,and defiance is like wickedness and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has rejected you as king.

Exactly. This rally is not an exhibition of blood curdling savagery. It is a demand (a cry for help if you will) for universal health care, greater employment opportunities, and equal rights for women, homosexuals, and transgendered Muslims.

From the previous Mecca thread today:

“Islam’s enemies want to empty our religion from its contents and its meaning. But the soldiers of God will be victorious,” said al-Sheik, the Saudi kingdom’s top religious authority."

He got that right. Unfortunately for them Allah ain't God!

Yet American liberals are vehemently hateful of American conservatives. Islamaic terrorists and Islam in general on the other hand, is so incredibly far removed from mainstream American liberalism that it is comical. Islam denigrates minorities and women, are against most freedoms, beleive in the death penalty, have no regard for free speech. Support honor killings, clitorectomies, no education for women, total subjegation of women, etc. . . And who do America's liberals seem to idolize?

The educated Muslims in the West, who now has more freedom than they've ever known in their entire lives, still tout islam as a peaceful religion. Their offsprings, American borned, still vigorously defend this death cult. So it's not just the inmates in muslim countries that fail to think for themselves regardless of the reasons; it's also the educated muslims as well.

I remember reading a testimony by a former muslim girl in a muslim country. I don't remember the exact name of the story, but I found it at Faith Freedom. The story speaks of a muslim girl who went to an old muslim cleric and asked the questions that had been troubling her about islam. The old man read her questions and told her he knew the truth all along, but he was old and change would not matter. He strongly advised her to run away while she still can.

Just nuke the fuckers. Now - while they're all hangin' round the black rock.

This is the real threat that Islam faces. It makes their self-inflicted pain and troubles pale by comparison.

Somehow I doubt that johnCV was for nuking anyone before 9/11. His view, though, really isn't that uncommon anymore, and if there is another major terrorist attack in the US such as a dirty nuke or the like, it will become a common view.

The reality is that the vast majority of terrorism around the world is committed by Muslims. They are involved in almost every armed conflict in the world, against Jews, Christians, atheists, and even other Muslims. The more this continues, the more the "nuke 'em" view will prevail. At some point, it will become a majority view. At that time, we might be looking at pogroms and wholesale use of WMDs against Muslims and Muslim nations. It will be an absolute slaughter.

I'm not advocating this. In fact, I oppose use of nukes and other WMDs in any case except for retalitaion for WMDs. (Exception: those nuke bunker busters. But that's a whole different thing.) I'm just saying that it is a reality that we face.

Scary times. Too bad most Muslims in the ME (and many elsewhere) are so mislead and deluded that they have no idea this is coming. If they did, some of them might start taking real action to prevent it, namely reconciling some form of Islam with the modern world. That might take MAJOR revision and infighting within Islam, but the only other option will be far worse for them -- and for us for that matter.

Oh, but they're all getting ready to overthrow the mullahs. It's going to happen any day now.

Back in the 80's, Iran was in an 8-year war with Saddam and Iraq. Wonder if the Meccan chants back then were "Death to Iraq"? If so, they seem to have gotten their "wish" these past few years, thanks ironically to the "Great Satan" they so despise.

Oh, and the fresh food. Fruit to write home about.

Some friends recently sent us a half-liter bottle of water from Lourdes.

The brand name on the bottle's label? Vitalis.

Just to clarify, Vitalis was the brand name of the water that had origianlly been on the bottle, before it was filled with the water from Lourdes.

That is some lame crowd participation. I was reminded of the commercial where the one hit woinder band "Danger Kitty" plays the barmitzmah.

All the guys speaking must be aspiring Muftis - get on television for the clerics back home to see, and maybe get a promotion at the mosque.

At the end, you get the lamo-di-lamo mufti going on about the 'spying on American citizens without a court order.' That guy must have stayed out late the night before, woke up and said "Oh blessed sh*t! I have a speech in an hour, logged on to Michael Moore dot com and ran something through the "English to Frasi" translator on Google.com

Lame.

In my not-so-humble-opinion these nutcases think that Iraq is indicative of the amount of casualties that a war with the U.S. would actually have.

They have no idea that they wouldnt get within 3 miles of a soldier in an all-out war.

Iraq is "police action", it is NOT all-out, to-the-death, genocidal, no quarter given, no prisoners taken WAR.

Islam = "hungry ghosts", always looking to death instead of enjoying (this) life.

Well, at least that clears it up. They don't really dislike America, they only hate us because Bush is a terrorist. If ONLY Kerry were President, these peaceful practitioners of the RoP would not be forced to hate us.

It abuses the divine religion of Moses. It takes Satanic measures, and arouses the world's hatred towards this divine religion, and its true followers.

Every time I've seen one of these Iranian "Death to America and Israel" rallies, it always looks the same: the pep rally leaders fuminating the same old lines, and the people in the audience looking bored silly, but forcing themselves to lift a limp arm to join in the battle cry. I.e., the audience does not at all look like they're in to it. And it's a pretty small audience at that.

Meanwhile, speeding the advance of all humanity, Saudi Arabia has introduced the wonders of modern indoor plumbing to to the Hajj!

"MINA, 9 January 2006 — From the inside, it looks like a modern, luxury apartment in Manhattan, complete with Swedish furniture and indoor plumbing. From the outside, it is just another tent in a Haj camp in the middle of the holy site of Mina, Saudi Arabia.

Five-star service is what the pilgrim who has rented this ornamental tent is going to receive when he and his entourage arrive at the Adwaia Al-Iman pilgrims’ camp."

Hate America, Hate Israel, Hate Bush...no I'm not talking about Islam, I was thinking of the modern Dem party, Hollywood and the NYT. At least Islam has a rigid and recognizable moral code, and are completely honest about what they are about.

George Galloway on UK Big Brother:

"I'm the most famous here, there's 1.5 billion Muslims, they all know who I am."

Slight paraphrase but that's pretty much what he said.

This is Islam no moderates need apply:

When even the pope has to whisper
By Spengler

Islam is the unexploded bomb of global politics. US foreign policy - the only foreign policy there is, for the United States is the only superpower - proceeds from the hope that a modern and democratic Islam will emerge from the ruins of Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Through democratic institutions, Washington believes, the long-marginalized Shi'ites will adapt to religious pluralism. Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani's Islam, fixed in amber since the High

Middle Ages, will metamorphose into something like American mainline Protestantism.
Alas, the available facts suggest that the opposite result will ensue: more freedom equals more fundamentalism. Not the secular Shi'ite parties but the pro-Iranian religious parties dominate the Iraqi polls. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood quadrupled its vote despite heavy-handed measures to intimidate its supporters; Hamas threatens to displace Fatah in the Palestinian elections this month; Hezbollah has become the strongest electoral as well as military force in Lebanon; and, most important of all, Mahmud Ahmadinejad crushed a more pragmatic opponent in last June's Iranian presidential elections.

Islam was founded as a theocracy, such that the Western innovation of church-state separation remains alien to its culture. Is it possible for Islam to reform? A negative answer implies that Ahmadinejad's January 5 call for world domination falls within the Islamic mainstream. He told an audience of religious students, "We must believe in the fact that Islam is not confined to geographical borders, ethnic groups and nations. It's a universal ideology that leads the world to justice. We don't shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the world. We must prepare ourselves to rule the world." The previous day, the London Guardian leaked a European intelligence report detailing Iran's efforts to acquire technology required to build nuclear weapons. A very few writers, including this one, have rejected the possibility of Islamic reformation, to the stony contempt of universally accepted opinion.

Now Pope Benedict XVI has let it be known that he does not believe Islam can reform.

grand mufti, Sheik Abdul-Aziz al-Sheik, makes his Hajj sermon...
Cleric slams West for 'war against Islam'

Speaking at a mosque on the plain of Mount Arafat, Sheik Abdul-Aziz al-Sheik, the kingdom’s grand mufti, said Muslims were facing critical challenges, among them accusations of terrorism and human rights abuses and calls for revisions in their school textbooks, many of which make nonbelievers, especially Jews.

“Oh, Muslim nation, there is a war against of our creed, against our culture under the pretext of fighting terrorism. We should stand firm and united in protecting our religion,” he said.

“Islam’s enemies want to empty our religion from its contents and its meaning,” said al-Sheik, the Saudi kingdom’s top religious authority.

“But the soldiers of God will be victorious,” he said.

The faithful called out: “Amen.”

WriterMom,

Heck, I was just feeling my appetite return. What an image.

New 18Z NAM model still suggests a centimeter or two of much needed rain may fall in Eastern Texas (not much relief for DFW or SAT, unfortunately), and maybe five to ten centimeters of snow in parts of North East Oklahoma!

Did I mention 12Z GFS shows possibility of light snow with the monster weekend storm (which will bring freakish warmth and rain to the Northeast, at the same time) all the way to coastal Georgia?

For Houston area, wind energy/dynamics iffy for severe, but enough instability for thunderstorms, anyway.

SPC earlier today has no severe weather outlooked, but has added a *SLIGHT RISK* for areas just North of HOU.

Islam needs a Jack Handy moment:

"Sometimes while surging around the Ka'ba during pilgrimage I link to think of a giant ice skating rink surrounding the Holy Stone, and beautiful women in skimpy outfits skating backwards singing songs of melody and love to all."

Unfortunately, many Christians have fallen into the liberal trap of thinking one of the Seven Deadly Sins is intolerance.

Calling someone intolerant is akin to calling them a filthy racist idiot, with a slice of evil on the side. Christians who come out of a liberal theological background cannot bear to be painted with that brush.

I have no such qualms
