CAIR's Fauxtography Scandal

Fri, Aug 11, 2006 at 7:15:32 pm PDT

This might be a good moment to remind you, gentle LGF lizardoid reader, that the Council on American Islamic Relations, recently quoted by the Washington Post smearing LGF, was caught red-handed last year in their own little Photoshop scandal—crudely drawing an Islamic headscarf on a woman who committed the sin of appearing with a bare head at one of their “anti-terrorism” photo ops: lgf: CAIR Needs Better Photoshoppers.

The original:

The inept Photoshop job:

The astoundingly pathetic close-up:

And please notice that head scarves were even added to some of the (male) heads in the foreground.

28 Salem  Fri, Aug 11, 2006 5:33:38pm

Something about being muslim clouds the vision, makes them less discriminating. To much whacking off?

Actually, aren't they supposed to shun human representations, of which photography is one example? I believe that beholding photographs is a non-starter for the whole "Paradise" thing. Tough luck, martyrs!

I know that this is a thread about fauxtography, but I could not help but think of the deafening silence of the feminazis, concerning the Muslim treatment of women. Just let a Christian peacefully disapprove of abortion and They of The Hairy Legs will carry on as if civilization is coming to an end; however, let an "honor-killing" take place and the screeching harridans have suddenly developed laryngitis.

I think they are like that Berkeley Bag, who wrote that love poem to the terrorists: they don't mind being subservient to a male, as long as he is the "right kind" of male.

Somewhat media comment:(But still OT)
I wrote to the NYT expressing "deep disappointment" that the British had been permitted to pursue secret investigations without the Times' busting the whole thing wide-open on the front page months ago.
(Secret investigations obviously are more serious than blowing up passenger planes and encroaching hoardes of semi-civilized killers.) I concluded with a surmise that the Times must be in the pay of Karl Rove, and that's why it got announced the day after NeddyLamarr's nomination.

Hardball
Rangel: 'Islamofascist' an Insult - 'You Never Called Hitler a Christian Fascist'
Posted by Mark Finkelstein on August 11, 2006 - 21:47.

It doesn't take much to offend liberals' exquisite sensitivities. The latest? Referring to Islamofascists as . . . Islamofascists. Chris Matthews got the ball rolling on this evening's Hardball. But Charlie Rangel upped the ante to the max, managing to impugn Christians and Jews in the bargain. Fortunately, GOP Congressman Dan Lungren had the guts to call Rangel on it.

Matthews got things started by challenging Lungren: "Would you include Hezbollah in that group [of Islamofascists]? Would you include Hamas, they are they enemies of Israel. Are they also enemies of ours? Are they also fascists because they have a dispute with Israel? Anybody who is against us is a fascist now."

Rangel sent things to the moon a bit later with this line: "You take Islamic and you call them fascists, you call them radical. You never called Hitler a Christian fascist. This is insulting to an entire religion."

Brian Williams Equates Elite U.S. Military With Terrorist Bombers

While ostensibly trying to praise elite U.S. soldiers, seamen and civilian first responders, on Thursday's Hardball on MSNBC, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams seemed to equate them with terrorist suicide bombers: "The willingness to take one's own life -- I always tell people, you know, there are guys on our team like that, too." Referring to those caught in the new plot to bring down airliners leaving Britain, Chris Matthews noted how they lived for years amongst Westerners and yet "having gotten to know us, they want to kill themselves to hurt us. Isn't that an even deeper conundrum here than the chemicals being used in these attacks?" Williams, live from near Heathrow Airport, responded: "And that, Chris, that last aspect, the willingness to take one's own life -- I always tell people, you know, there are guys on our team like that, too. They're called Army Rangers and Navy Seals and the Special Forces folks and the first responders on 9/11 who went into those buildings knowing, by the way, they weren't going to come out. So we have players like that on our team."

Please stop the unwarranted criticism.

I must strongly emphasize that Adnan Hajj had just begun using Photoshop when this doctoring of the CAIR photograph occurred.

Admittedly his first efforts such as this were so clumsy that they would fool no one. Since that time he has progressed to the point of being able to fool at least some of the mainstream media for short periods of time.

Remarkable progress if I do say so.

With additional practice he may eventually be able to reach the point where someone who is only vaguely familiar with photo-manipulation techniques may actually have to look twice to ascertain that manipulation has occurred.

One day far in the future he might even begin to be able to make rudimentary chrome buttons and, dare I say it, attempt translucent plastic buttons.

With additional practice he may eventually be able to reach the point where someone who is only vaguely familiar with photo-manipulation techniques may actually have to look twice to ascertain that manipulation has occurred.

One day far in the future he might even begin to be able to make rudimentary chrome buttons and, dare I say it, attempt translucent plastic buttons.

These bullshit comparisons really bug me. I've started calling liberals on it, with sincere inquiry.

How is Bush, Hitler?

What do you know about Hitler?

Which one tried to exterminate the Jews?

Who recently called for Israel to be wiped off the map?

What comparisons might you draw, now armed with more pertinent information?

This is truly a good idea, Noam. It is appalling the lack of knowledge of who Hilter was. Kind of scary, really.

If I had to make an assessment based that women's clothing and hairstyle, I would say that she is a Hindustani and not a Mohammadstani.

So therefore, she not being a believer and having her image altered to suit another's expectations, makes her CAIR's equivalent of the Taliban's monumental Buddhists statue demolitions in Afghanistan.

Islam doesn't believe in making or worshiping idol images, only in remaking the Creation into its own image.

Rangel posts diaries at DailyKos.

There was a dkos post about the usage of islamofascist that said just what Rangel was saying:

While there undeniably are pro-violent, extremist Muslims - as there are Christians and Jews and atheists -

They were all up in arms about how insensitive and wrong is to use that word.

When someone ask what about all the times I've seen "cristofascist" used at kos, he wast told that that's different because they are fascists.

You are one of my new favourite people. I live in Columbus but wanted to go up to Canada for the weekend. My mother told me that the bridge and the tunnel had a 2 hour wait.

Tonight, I went into the local gas station, Subway and vocally voiced the fact that I was cancelling my trip because of damn Muslims. And the people there were very understanding and know the threat against us. All of us were politically correct but they know who the enemy is. There is a lot of growing hatred growing towards those that want us dead. World War Three will be interesting but I think we will win.

Rangel doesn't seem to comprehend the way that language works. When we apply an adjective to a noun, the function of that adjective is to modify the meaning of the noun.

The original idea of fascism was based on the supremacy of a nation or racial group. This new kind of fascism isn't based upon the alleged superiority of Aryan genes, but on that of the religion of Islam.

And while there is an undercurrent of racism in the Arab Moslem treatment of Africans of all religions, it's not the dominant feature. This phenomenon demands an adjective like Islamic (or compound noun prefix like Islamo-) to accurately describe it.

Whenever someone tells me I'm wrong, I ask them a very simple follow-up: If I'm wrong, then what's right?

I ask the "Honorable Mr. Rangel" to devise a better name for an ideology that shares so much with Italian Fascismo and German Nationalsozialismus than some variant of Islamofasicsm or Nazislamism.

"In 2002, when Abulhassan was a sophomore, he told a Detroit Free Press columnist that he endured some teasing because he shares a first name with Osama bin Laden.

“He’s fighting for a cause like the United States is,” Abulhassan said of Bin Laden. “But he’s killing innocent people, and that makes him appear to be a bad guy.”
"

and then there's this tidbit to make you sleep well:

"Dearborn is a known location of several terrorist cells and most recently has been the site of rallies in support of the Islamic terrorist group, Hezbollah."

I am bringing this post here, because I thought I saw someone mention Cindy Sheehan, it is from earlier today on a previous thread,

OT:

Cindy Sheehan's long-running affair with fellow America basher

Cindy Sheehan's divorce had less to do with her political crusade last summer, and more to do with her long-running affair with Lew Rockwell, libertarian thinker and fascist detector extraordinaire.

Cindy Sheehan was getting it on!

Cindy Sheehan packed her bags and left Crawford ,Texas, Tuesday afternoon and arrived home in Berkeley, Ca. late Tuesday evening. Sheehan rushed back to do damage control after explosive information became public today about an alleged affair that began while she was still married to her husband Patrick, and after her son Casey Sheehan died in Sadr City, Iraq attempting to rescue members of his trapped squad.

Sources are telling authors Melanie Morgan and Catherine Moy, (American Mourning, Cumberland Press) that Sheehan is furious that the news of her affair has gone public. Sources have identified the boyfriend as former right-winger Lew Rockwell of the Ludwig Von Mises think tank located in Alabama, who is himself married.


Another married Catholic, no less. Apparently it was e-love:

Sources say that Sheehan met Lew Rockwell in an Internet chatroom, and exchanged 600 text mail messages before her husband learned of the affair through phone records.

When the IRA started indiscriminately murdering civilians through car bombings, it lost popularity among many of its supporters; and, 2. When the IRA bomber parked his bomb-laden car, he tried to distance himself from the bomb. When you think about it, #2 is probably more important than #1. In any event, the LLL didn't have a reply.

Here is a link to a relevant story from the Dearborn Press and Guide, a local newspaper, that is actually genuine reporting. (as in, its not off the AP wire.)

Its a bit surprising to read a story like this from a local newspaper. Pretty heady stuff and actually pretty well balanced. Especially considering the target audience.

But the quote from Professor Ronald Stockwell, who has been featured in LGF before, and who I have had a few e-mail stealth e-mail conversations with made me stop and re-read it.

But he believes the dynamic of the local Arab-American community is healthy. "They feel confident enough to march and speak out," he said.

Chanting death to Israel and Bush is the terrorist is a healthy dynamic? Professor Stockwell, you are one F*ed up individual.

Half Finnish? I didn't know that. This will be my third time to Suomi. My wife was an exchange student. She and her Finnish sister still visit regularly. They came to our wedding back in '01. Finland is great. They like to hang out in nature and pound beer and snarf sausage more than we Americans do. I am looking forward to my 10 days of sauna, woodchopping, horseback riding, riflery, and cooking/slash drinking by a pristine lake. I'll send you some photos afterwards.

A perfect place if they would just be a little bit more independent politically. Geography and history has thrust collective complacency upon them though (Finlandization in the past and EU membership today). Oh well....sigh....even the Swiss joined the UN. Great people, nevertheless though. I doubt they will ever accept what the other Scandanavian countries have vis the Muz though. They have a hard enough time with the quirks of Estonians and Russians, I imagine any Muz showing up there will have a hard time at it, even with EU refugee policies and welfare criteria. They try hard to be PC, being a very civil modern society and all, but deep down is a national pride and chauvanism that probably exceedes our own, if measured by percent of society that is still patriotic. Even a Moonbat over there will stand up and defend Finland if she is assaulted , either verbally or physically.

I work for an Indian owned company. One of my female co-workers the other day expressed how angry she was that her religion is so peaceful that it wouldn't arise against the Islam threat. Her and I are pretty politically incorrect with each other, but I really felt a vibe that she wished Hindus would just rise up and start to crush this threat. And we had a conversation with a male Sikh where all of us added up the battle statistics. Good news, we outnumber them.

Bungholewaster is trying to help Iran it appears.

LONDON (AFP) - Essential military kit must be sent to Iraq urgently to protect British troops who are under-equipped and overstretched despite escalating violence there, a parliamentary committee reported.

The all-party defence committee highlighted shortages in vital equipment, including armoured vehicles and helicopters, and said repeated tours of duty were threatening the army's operational effectiveness.

"(We) were disturbed by the deficiencies in equipment they faced," the MPs said in a report based on a visit to some of Britain's 7,200 troops in southern Iraq.


If Bongwater's a Shia it makes a great deal of sense. The IRGC is making big moves in southern Iraq. If GWB wants Iraq to work, or even come close, Iran/Al Sadr needs to be leashed. Olmert screwed the British, Americans and Sunnis. Actions --> consequences. U.S. troops in Al Anbar probably aren't putting his poster on footlockers either.

252 J.D.  Fri, Aug 11, 2006 8:03:32pm

Unrepentant Neocon
Norman Podhoretz stands IV-square for the Bush doctrine.

...On the violence running over the Levant, he is forthright: "I think of it as another battle or field or front in World War IV--the third front that's been opened: Afghanistan, Iraq and now this." With Hezbollah acting as a proxy for Iran, and Israel standing in for the U.S., "what you have here is Iran testing the resolve, the capability, of the enemy, in this case being the entire West--through few seem to understand this, or if they do understand it they want to deal with it with the usual appeasement."

Does the president understand? Grant that there are no easy answers: Hasn't the administration, on the more intractable questions of Syria and Iran, shown by and large the same weakening of resolve? Mr. Podhoretz winces. The question seems to set his teeth on edge. "There are people who ask George Bush to do everything at once," he declares, "instead of picking his shots and moving at a politically viable pace. It's nice as an intellectual exercise, but what is the point of demanding things that no democratic political leader, not even George Bush, could conceivably do at this time? To my mind it's a kind of right-wing utopianism."

Right-wing utopianism--now there is machismo. It is, of course, the very charge most often leveled against the neocons: that they thought (to put it rudely) they could go parading through Arabia and reorder it as a liberal democracy; instead of flowers and sweets they were met with IEDs and sectarian death squads. And this notion has picked up currency of late--particularly among those who consider themselves conservatives without the qualifying prefix.

Mr. Podhoretz is having none of it. "I always knew they didn't like this policy, the Bush doctrine," he says, speaking of increasingly vocal antagonists like George Will and William F. Buckley. "They had doubts about it going in, and not just because it violates in their view conservative principles but, you know, it's hubris, it's Wilsonianism, it goes beyond the limits of power, it's nation-building, and so on. But for reasons of solidarity or because they were not willing to join with the left or the far reaches of the Buchananite right, they were careful, they voiced their doubts only through hints or veiled asides. So when they came, so to speak, out of the antiwar closet, I certainly was not all that surprised.

"They've declared defeat, basically," he continues. "What can I say? I think they're wrong. I think Iraq has gone not badly but well, is not a disaster or a crime or a delusion, but what's more is a noble, necessary effort."

Mr. Podhoretz attributes the troubles of reconstruction as much to our own irresolution as to what he calls "the recalcitrance and obduracy of the region." "The only reason in my opinion that we're having as much trouble as we're having in Iraq is that we're not getting intelligence. You cannot fight a revanchist insurgency and certainly not one that uses terrorist tactics without good intelligence . . . and you can only get that kind of intelligence by squeezing it out of prisoners. That's all there is to it."

Both domestic opposition and the international community, unhappily, are "defining torture down. The things they're calling 'torture' now have never been and have no business being considered torture." He keeps on: "It is an effort to disarm us that's succeeding to a frightening extent. No, it's worse than that. They're trying to make it impossible to fight terrorism. . . . Every weapon that's been developed to protect us from terrorism, and the Iraqis from internal terrorism, is under assault."...

OT - Sometimes it's better to be safe than scenic.
Rickshaws for London's tourists simply aren't beyond our Ken

I don't know whether he's too bothered about public opinion or not, but during a weekend in London one recurring line I heard was the contempt of workers for their Mayor, Ken Livingstone.
Complainants ranged from a tour guide on a river cruise to taxi drivers.
London taxi drivers really do not like Ken at all, especially since he is apparently championing what could be described as bicycle rickshaws for tourists.
The taxi drivers' concern is not about the competition, but about the fact that these not very secure looking contraptions are weaving through traffic and could, they say, cause a very serious accident. While we were in a cab one of them (thankfully without passengers) clipped us and almost over-turned.
The only victim in this case was the cabbie's paintwork, which he'll have to fix at his own expense.
Ken apparently thinks the rickshaws are scenic.
Over here our dodgy weather should exclude their introduction. But just in case someone's thinking of bringing them to Belfast, a reminder ...
Sometimes it's better to be safe than scenic.

Now that I think about it, this little bizzaro incident perfectly sums up the Muslim brainwashed mindset.

Whenever objective reality conflicts with Islam, reality must be made to conform to Islam. Muslims are conditioned from biirth so that they can't handle the truth that constantly confronts them in the real world. This must be extremely confusing and cause great cognitive dissonance on a daily basis.

Some might consider such behavior to be a symptom of mental illness. No wonder their society is so backward, sick, and twisted.

There you have it. The last of the "good" media have abandoned us in favor of Sharia law. Welcome to the new world people. We are about to find out where the rubber meets the road, and from my perspective right now, Fox is just as much roadkill as Reuters, AFP, BBC and all the others.

I got lost on the road somewhere
Was it Texas or was it Canada
Drinking whiskey in the morning light
I work the stage all night long
At first we laughed about it
My long haired drunken friends
Proposed a toast to Jimmy's ghost
I never dreamed that I would wind up on the losing end

I'm stuck here on the inside looking out
I'm just another case
Where's my makeup where's my face on the inside

All got your kicks from what you saw up there
Eight bucks even buys a folding chair
I was downing seagrams on another flight
And I worked that stage all night long
You were screaming for the villain up there
And I was much obliged
The old road sure screwed me good this time
It's hard to see where the vicious circle ends

I'm stuck here on the inside looking out
That's no big disgrace
Where's my makeup where's my face on the inside

1. THE Religious Policeman are NOT YET in the USA. They're here in the mosques and schools -- they're behind the changes made in the photo at the top of this very thread. They just don't have complete control of us infidels yet.

2. NO EDITING is required nor allowed in the USA. Dan Rather, Daily Kos, NYT, Washington Post, etc. slant our media before it's printed or broadcast to the public. They don't need to use scissors or grease pens.

3. 'FAUTOSHOPPING' is NOT-ALLOWED in the USA. Hundreds of Reuters & AP staged photos/video clips run in US newspapers, magazines, and TV news broadcasts. If that diminishes, it will be thanks to LGF-type exposes

4. ISLAMIC STANDARDS are NOT the standards in the USA. Beginning to be. If you live in Hamtramck you can't escape the sound of the call to Mulsim prayers coming from the mosque. Some public schools are observing Muslim holy days.

5. The Muslim countries are EXACTLY THE COUNTRIES who NEED TO HEAR THIS ! Agreed

6. THE USA IS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE, A MUSLIM COUNTRY. That depends entirely on how serious we are about stopping them, doesn't it?

The California air
Your nightgown on the stairs
I remember every night
Scenes from home in the Quiet Room

How long have I been gone
Did winter kill the lawn
And all those polaroids you sent
Are on the wall in the Quiet Room

They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I can't get my wrists to bleed
Just don't know why
Suicide appeals to me

The Quiet Room
Is sterilized and white
It's like a tomb
With just a moth stained naked night

Plastic forks and spoon
No laces in my shoes
They allknow what I tried to do
Outside the Quiet Room

This quiet place
It ain't so new to me
It's haunted atmosphere
Has heard so many scream
My home from home
My twilight zone
My strangest dream

My confidant
I have confessed my life
The Quiet Room
Knows more about me than my wife

They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I just can't
I just can't get these damn wrists to bleed

A mattress on the floor
No handles on the door
I really need nothing here
I'm alone

More undisguised Israel hatred from Al-Reuters:

Israeli air strike kills several after U.N. vote

By Tom Perry
BEIRUT (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike killed several people in southern Lebanon on Saturday, security sources said, hours after the U.N. Security Council unanimously passed a resolution to end the month-old war.

So what possible reason can there be for the completely irrelevant mention of the proximity of this strike to the UN resolution, except to create the impression in the minds of lazy, ignorant, casual readers that Israel is flagrantly violating a cease-fire agreement?

We are back in Israel and my unit is at rest, so I thought I would send you an email before we go back in on Friday night.

I am afraid for my guys, the fighting has been tough but now that the UN is going to set a cease fire and Olmert what a SOB he is again stabbing Tzhal in the back again.

We are going to go back to Lebanon before the world sh—ts on the Jews once again.
Yoni how can I take my troops back to fight in such a mess, what is I loose one of my guys ?

What words can I use to comfort their families. I have some guys that have wives at home pregnant what if G-d forbid their dad is killed today, for what? I feel like sitting and crying but I got to lead my men.

We have lost the war and the army has the ability to beat Hizballah, Syria and the Palestinians all at the same time, but the cowards will not let us.

The chamber was in confusion-all the voices shouting loud.
I could only just hear, a voice quite near say,
Please help me through the crowd
Said if I helped her thru she could help me too,
But I could see that she was wholly blind.
But from her pale face and her pale skin, a moonlight shined.

Lilywhite Lilith,
She gonna take you thru the tunnel of night.
Lilywhite Lilith,
She gonna lead you right.

When I'd led her through the people, the angry noise began to grow.
She said Let me feel the way the breezes blow,
And Ill show you where to go.
So I followed her into a big round cave,
She said They're coming for you, now dont be afraid.
Then she sat me down on a cold stone throne, carved in jade.

Lilywhite Lilith,
She gonna take you thru the tunnel of night.
Lilywhite Lilith,
She gonna lead you right.

She leaves me in my darkness,
I have to face my fear,
And the darkness closes in on me,
I can hear a whirring sound growling near.
I can see the corner of the tunnel,
Lit up by whatevers coming here.
Two golden globes float into the room
And a blaze of white light fills the air.

O.T.

Here is a heart-warming story from Baghdad:

Three-year-old Amina can't hear the bombs and bullets that rake through Baghdad. The Iraqi girl has been deaf since birth. Her family is too poor to pay for advanced surgeries that could restore her hearing, so until recently a soundless life seemed certain. With the help of the U.S. Army in Iraq and the International Kids Fund, a Miami-based aid group, Amina was flown to the United States on Sunday for a procedure at the University of Miami Jackson Memorial Medical Center.

That is my worst take on the resolution as well. It treats a recognized, sovreign state and member of the U.N. and treats a mere militia and terrorist orgainization as its equal. There is an implied recognition here by the international community of Hezbollah as being on the same level with world actors. This, I think, is a mistake...

Here's my rant of the day:

Ari Shavit at the Haaretz.com wrote:

Chutzpah has its limits. You cannot lead an entire nation to war promising victory, produce humiliating defeat and remain in power. You cannot bury 120 Israelis in cemeteries, keep a million Israelis in shelters for a month, wear down deterrent power, bring the next war very close, and then say - oops, I made a mistake.


Must I state the painfully obvious?

The fight for Human Life is a fight to the death.

And when I say Human Life I do not mean a mere physical existence. I mean life as a rational person who is fully in charge of his or her own life. Life as a slave, to exist as hominid livestock to be used by self-appointed superior beings, is valueless. And contrary to the feelings of pacifists, peace for a slave is an abomination.

(I could go on about what I really think of peace activists but I'll keep it short by paraphrasing Keith Richards: I don't have a problem with shooting peace activists, I only have a problem with the police.)

Hezbollah exists for a single purpose, to commit mass murder. It has no rights. It cannot be negotiated with. It can only be destroyed, it must be totally erased from the face of the Earth.

Hezbollah are nothing more than vermin fit only for extermination. There is simply no other morally valid alternative.

We must remember that government is force. It should exist solely to protect the Life, Liberty, and Property of the citizens and legal residents of the nation. Government is not a platform for someone to strut about and feel good about themselves. And anyone who cannot make the effort to permanently eliminate the voluntary walking hazards to Human Life has no business standing for ANY public office. None whatsoever.

We can only hope that Prime Minister Olmert steps aside as soon as possible, and that Hezbollah violates the truce so that the Israel Defense Forces can go ahead and finish the necessary task at hand.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

Well here it is, Muslims demand we (UK) change our foreign policy for a measure of "protection."

British Muslim groups have written to the prime minister calling for "urgent" changes to UK foreign policy.

In an open letter they say British policy is putting civilians at increased risk in the UK and abroad...

It has been signed by three Muslim MPs, three peers and 38 groups, including the Muslim Council of Britain.

So the muslim establishment and the radicals join together to say what?

"It is our view that current British government policy risks putting civilians at increased risk both in the UK and abroad. "

It is my view that islamofacists are putting civilians at increased risk.

The debacle of Iraq and now the failure to do more to secure an immediate end to the attacks on civilians in the Middle East not only increases the risk to ordinary people in that region, it is also ammunition to extremists who threaten us all.

It is to spit.

Man Missing After Pulled Into Ocean By Turtle


A graduate student from the University of Central Florida remains missing Saturday after he was pulled underwater by a large sea turtle, according to Local 6 News.

Officials said Boyd Lyon, 35, vanished Thursday afternoon about three miles north of the Sebastian Inlet and 400 yards out to sea, sheriff's officials said.

The student was apparently tagging turtles as part of a UCF research project.

"The person was onboard a Boston Whaler with other students when a large turtle pulled the victim underwater," Local 6's Bob Frier said.

The Coast Guard from the Fort Pierce, Fla., station is conducting the search with assistance from the Brevard County sheriff's helicopter.

AFTER JEWS COMES THE HINDUS,CHRISTIANS AND BUDHIST....AS VICTIM OF ISLALMIC CULT
AFTER WOMENS COMES THE GOATS UNDER VEIL

People are killed for no reason in Iraq, and then there are time when the reason for killings are so bizarre, it, it, simply makes no sense.

Take for instance, in the rural western Iraqi village of Gazalia, a shepherd was killed for failing to diaper his goats, apparently it results in sexual tension among men and according to Sharia law, the site of a naked goat is tempting enough to warrant killing the shepherd. Think that is crazy, in another case, a grocer and three others were murdered and fire bombed simply for not following the Sharia way of arranging vegetables, apparently because the grocer arranged it differently and for the profoundly repressed, “suggestive.”

"We are not starting from zero... We have building blocks in place as part of stand-by arrangements with a number of countries with earmarked contingents," Alvaro de Soto, the U.N. special envoy for the Middle East peace process, told Reuters.

The leftist guy has already called for a revolution. He's been very clear in the last few days that he's not going to respect institutions.
It's a bad scenario.
The Tribunal Electoral has until Sept. 7th to name a winner of the election oficially. Up till them, the leftists can still play a sort of double game: legal/illegal actions. After Sept. 7th they will be considered as rebels if they keep it up.
The left is losing people by the droves, as they are hurting a lot of folks with their actions. And I'm sure that if the situation turns really bad, with strong confrontations, they are going to lose even more followers.

Actually not. They are gaining momentum. But the guilty party for this is losing lots of followers. So my idea is: let it roll. Let them hurt themselves.
Recently, even some prominent leftists are calling their comrades to reason, but they are being coached by Chávez and Co., so they know no discretion. Chávez is mad, and they are too. They really think that most Mexicans are with them, when it's hardly 20% and diminishing.
Weird, very advantageous for lizards, and dangerous too. All in one package ;)

Heat is no excuse for not dressing properly

even if it was 95 degrees outside that is no excuse for people to walk around in short skirts and tank tops.As a UAE national, I cover up completely and I have come across a lot of tourists in Dubai, and have found the majority of them to be friendly and respectful towards my country and its laws. Should people in Africa or In India to wear nothing at all simply because it is too hot? Everyone should Keep in mind that they are in an Arab MUSLIM country, if they feel otherwise then they could get on the next flight home. If people were banned from malls for wearing skimpy clothes trust me people would start thinking about covering up.
Fortunately for the people who prefer swimwear to clothes, Dubai’s laws differ from Saudia Arabia’s if you people were in Saudia Arabia you would all be expected to cover up from head to toe, I am not expecting all women to wear abayas and shaylas but it wouldn’t kill you to put a pair of jeans and a shirt on top of your bikini. If you still find it too hot, you should consider immigrating somewhere slightly cooler…. like Alaska!

Hi,
Being an Islam, its mandatory to follow customs and traditions… I believe that. But lets re-look on this aspect. People (expats) which hold a major chunk of the population should also needs to be considered for their cultural values. This doesnt mean that they can wear any dress they want… but its important for them also to feel homely while they are in Dubai.
For example, I have seen people who believe in Islam dress in such short dress, which is against tradition but they do… In such scenario how can we expect others to comply to this rule… very difficult task - especially for a country like UAE. Say if this is applied as a rule… UAE would turn like Saudi where people would never love to be…
Am sorry to say this .. but this is the truth. So lets not fight against what to wear and not to rather change our mentality to this…
Good day!

Me either MigueldowninMexico. For starters if you're going to let some go you should just let them all go, since we are supposed to apply the law equally to all. And from what I have heard from my daughter who lives in the Southewest, at least some portion of the Mexicans coming over the border come pretty close to "terrorists."

In KC it's going to be hot and muggy from the looks of things, but I will be working anyway so no matter.

I've just started the ww III update if folks are bored.

If the agreement signed and does take effect, we will know immediately whether it’s going to be effective or not by how the force deploys. If the force deploys through Tyre only, and moves directly into southern Lebanon, then they are a show force. To be effective they must deploy from the north, and as they move south search Hezbollah strongholds in southern Beirut and the Bekaa valley, sieze their weapons, and disarm them. They must also blockade arms from Syria and Iran, who still want the Lebanese to be their meat-puppet proxies.

If they do not do this, as Walid Phares points out at CT blog, the Cedar Revolution will die. Hezbollah will assert control, as they appear to have done by-and-large during the conflict. If the people of Lebanon want their freedom and democracy to survive, then they will aid the forces that come in. It’s incumbent on the Druze and Christian people of Lebanon to identify arms-caches, point out the leaders of Hezbollah, and it’s up to the government to firmly police the Shia protests that will result.

It’s not likely that this will happen, but this would be the effective path to quelling Hezbollah terrorism in and from Lebanon, not only must the world turn on Hezbollah, but the Lebanese must do so as well.

Morning all, what a glorious day here in NYC metro area. Of course, that compares with the situation in Israel. The fighting continues there, the Israelis are driving to the Litani, and while most of the world hails the latest UN resolution, the Iranians think it's a Zionist plot. In that light, perhaps we've all overreacted to just how bad the resolution is. After all, if the Iranians think it's a bad idea, then it probably does help Israel out. /trying to find silver lining...

Of course, the reality is that Hizbullah remains intact unless Israel destroys Hizbullah and I don't trust the Lebanese military or UNIFIL to disarm Hizbullah.

I transferred the tag from the old to the new(er) -- the old one has a flat front tire, needs new rear brakes, and a few minor things. I haven't been able to ride all summer... :(

Some travelers weren't happy about the surprise change in rules.

Latoria Thompson, 31, an investment banker from Baltimore, says she had to throw out about $150 worth of cosmetics
"I always shop at Bath & Body Works and places like that at the airport. It's my thing. Now I probably will never do that again," she says.

That is a lot of body lotions.
But I would hate to walk towards the bathrooms and some terrorists standing there doing a circle jerk with a bottle of body lotion just before the plane blew up.

Latoria is an idiot, she could have just checked the bag, and kept the lotions.

By the way, since CAIR doesn't like it when we attach the word FASCIST to ISLAM, I will now call all terror plots: Islamic Terror.

(Since CAIR is insulted when we try to filter out peaceful Islam from radical Islam by making the distinction between Islamofascism and Islam)

As was demonstrated in the case with the Reuters photograph, blogs come with their own teams of investigators: the thousands of readers who stream through the site. Within hours of Charles Johnson's posting on Little Green Footballs, readers of the Web site had gone to work uncovering an array of damning evidence against Hajj, the most serious of which - a second doctored photograph, an Israeli plane altered to make it look as though it was dropping a series of bombs - may have pushed Reuters to fire Hajj after initially announcing that the freelance photographer would be suspended. That photograph, which was discovered by blogger Rusty Shackleford of The Jawa Report, included an illustrated account of how the photos had been doctored.

Morning all,

Now that 9 of 11 missing students have been caught, has anyone read any kind of report as to why they headed out on the great American vacation.

Two of them were caught about 7 miles from our house.
Other than the original "Guess who we found" report, there has been nothing.
And just because they were found in a house in the same neighborhood as the one that started the shutdown of the harbor tunnel because of a possible bomb threat many months ago means nothing either.

Our local Newspaper is running a Blog/discussion board. Pretty interesting, as I see lots of people with questions like "CAIR, I've never heard of them till today".
In a perfect world, I could create a mythical poster with the Islamic knowledge of AI, and the posting grace of Ann, and turn her loose to educate these people.

Michael Rubin makes the case for targeted assassination and explains why the US is reluctant (unable) to do so even when civilian lives could be spared:

An Arrow in Our Quiver Print Mail
Why the U.S. Government Should Consider Assassination

By Michael Rubin
Posted: Friday, August 11, 2006
.........

The prohibition on assassination has enabled foreign leaders to further their embrace of terror. In the early 1980s, Moammar Qaddafi personified rogue behavior. He thumbed his nose at international conventions, pursued weapons of mass destruction, worked to destabilize regimes throughout Africa, and offered aid and safe haven to a cornucopia of terrorist groups. In 1983, Reagan adviser Joseph Churba suggested reviving assassination as a tool of statecraft: He called on the U.S. government to remove Qaddafi through both “covert and overt means.” If Libya did not adhere to international norms of behavior, he argued, then Tripoli “cannot be treated within the framework of the accepted norms of international comity.” The CIA condemned Churba’s remarks."
..........
"If a single bullet or bomb could forestall a far bloodier application of force, would it not be irresponsible to fail to consider that option--especially when the leaders of both Iran and North Korea threaten to use nuclear weapons and call for the destruction of both regional democracies and the U.S.? As Lebanon continues to burn, its Cedar Revolution in shambles, and Iraq teeters on the edge of civil war, Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei and Syrian president Bashar al-Assad might be far less willing to facilitate the supply of Hezbollah and other terrorist proxies if they knew that the cost of their actions might be their own lives."
............
"Those who view terrorism as a judicial rather than a military matter may raise issues of due process. But terror sponsors and rogue regimes do not abide by any such process. And--with Executive Order 12036--President Jimmy Carter mandated congressional oversight of covert activities, so elected U.S. representatives can ensure that assassination is not conducted lightly but only as a last resort."

[Link: www.aei.org...]

Perhaps it's time to change the rules. Getting rid of "leaders" who incite others to commit heinous crimes seems appropriate.

531 Village Idiot's Apprentice  Sat, Aug 12, 2006 4:15:37am

Looks like we may start doing he same things that Israel does

Bad people can, theoretically, be identified once they are at the airport. By assessing a person's body language and travel details, screeners can make a quick judgment on the threat level.

The TSA has a program in place in a few airports to do that now. Called Spot, or Screening Passengers by Observation Technique, it involves specially trained security officers scrutinizing people in security lines and elsewhere in the airport.

I'm going to be flying this coming week, and since I've been blogging the new restrictions, the first thing I did was make sure that when I packed, that any of my toiletries and liquids would be packed in the check in luggage, not the carryon.

If you're still having to have stuff tossed out at the security checkpoint today, that means you haven't been paying attention.

I can understand some anger on the day when these restrictions took effect - and I saw some folks having to dispose of bottles of wine they purchased. Boy, that hits hard. But if you're still being forced to toss that bottle of Jose Cuervo or Opus one, you really don't deserve to have that bottle in the first place.

It is also curious that they missed the news that there was concern over their disappearance and had to be apprehended.

Suppose everybody everywhere just banned carry-on luggage ? Personally, I'd have to buy a computer bag that could safely be checked, That's it. And the plane would load at least 15 minutes faster and empty at least 15 minutes faster. I'm struggling to figure out how that would be a bad thing. Maybe even just the restriction of not being able to pack toiletries/makeup in their carry-ons will cause some of these morons to CHECK THEIR F'ING LUGGAGE !

#537 just a grunt:

Here's the deal. I had some numbnut post on my blog about some Jewish bomber who attacked a bus as though the idea that Islamic terrorists have equivalents in other religions.

The thing is that whereas you can actually name those Jewish terrorists by name - Baruch Goldstein being the most often named, we can no longer name the Islamic terrorists other than Atta, Zarqawi, or OBL because there have simply been too many to count. Thousands to a handful you can count on a single hand.

The names of the thousands of suicide bombers, gunmen, and plotters simply doesn't register because they're footsoldiers in a wider war against the West.

Jewish extremists are denounced, extremist political parties are banned from the Knesset (all while Arab parties are allowed mind you), and the same goes for other religious groups.

Islamic terrorists get streets named after them, are honored by Islamic leaders, and are held up as people who set the ideal that others should strive for.

As for why people don't consider Hitler to be a Christian fascist, the key is that Hitler didn't actually push a Christian agenda, but a fascist one that put German ethnic purity above all else. "Islamic fascism" is a closer approximation to who we're actually fighting than other definitions that have been used. Militant Islam is another possible term.

An Arrow in Our Quiver

Why the U.S. Government Should Consider Assassination

The Law Versus Terrorism

Many diplomats and activists will say assassination is, simply, illegal. But this is not quite true: Any individual, be he a guerrilla or a state official, who is involved in planning terrorist attacks is a combatant and, according to international law, a legitimate target. This is especially applicable in the case of Iran’s current leadership. State Department reports regularly, and correctly, call Iran “the most active state sponsor of terrorism.” U.S. counterterrorism authorities believe Brig. Gen. Ahmad Sharifi of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps helped plan the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, which killed 19 U.S. servicemen. In 1997, a German court found that, five years earlier, Khamenei and a coterie of senior Iranian officials ordered the murder of Iranian dissidents in a Berlin restaurant. As court documents in the 1998 case Stephen M. Flatow v. The Islamic Republic of Iran demonstrate, the leadership of the Islamic Republic was so bold in its support of terrorism that it even included a budgetary line item for terror support--which, in this case, was used to murder a 20-year-old American girl studying in Israel. The Pentagon should consider Revolutionary Guards commanders combatants, because of their role in smuggling weapons into Iraq for use against Coalition troops. No combatant should enjoy security from retribution simply because of where he resides. Every Iranian government-sanctioned “Death to America” rally, or military parade with banners draped over missiles declaring their target to be the United States, is a declaration of war by Khamenei, Revolutionary Guard Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad against the United States, and should be treated as such. ...

Sounds like a plan!

The consequences of such a development are far beyond imagination for the region and the world. Hezbollah would have paved the way for Iran to create the mother of all world threats since Hitler."

So cautions Professor Walid Phares, author of "Future Jihad," a visiting


What is really stunning is how the C.I.A or the D.O.D failed to understand the threat of Islam...Iran told us since 1979...They had to know Saudi Arabia was Scared to death of Shia Iran and was spreading Wahhabi Sunni Islam around the World to counter it...Now Islam is more powerful then it has been in hundreds of years...Just damn amazing!

I can understand a reluctance to check luggage given that airlines have some problems with losing luggage and do you want to be stuck somewhere without your valuables or other items that you'd normally carry on with you.

At the same time, I don't particularly believe that the checked luggage is checked as thoroughly as it should, so that explosives could still end up on flights. There are regular reports from various newspapers and tv stations about how airports manage to do a poor job checking luggage and that tests reveal a spotty record on finding contraband.

Perhaps having everyone fly naked (proposed by Tom Friedman some years back, and now repeated by most every comic) will improve security /sarc.

There is another thing to point out about so-called "christian" terrorists. Invariably, when some idiot bombs an abortion clinic they do so because they are adamantly opposed to abortion.

Email From A Soldier
Yoni

We are back in Israel and my unit is at rest, so I thought I would send you an email before we go back in on Friday night.

I am afraid for my guys, the fighting has been tough but now that the UN is going to set a cease fire and Olmert what a SOB he is again stabbing Tzhal in the back again.

We are going to go back to Lebanon before the world sh—ts on the Jews once again.
Yoni how can I take my troops back to fight in such a mess, what is I loose one of my guys ?

What words can I use to comfort their families. I have some guys that have wives at home pregnant what if G-d forbid their dad is killed today, for what? I feel like sitting and crying but I got to lead my men.

We have lost the war and the army has the ability to beat Hizballah, Syria and the Palestinians all at the same time, but the cowards will not let us.

I got to go but I am afraid of the next 48 hours.

I have had people send me emails saying soldier just buck up and get over it. They missed the fact that this person is an officer commanding a unit in the IDF. That is only care in the world right now is for his men. I will not give his rank for his protection.

Oh dear Lord.

SEOUL (Reuters) - The king of the summer movie box office is none other than North Korea's Dear Leader Kim Jong-il, or at least that is what the communist state's official media has been saying this week.

The biggest movie sensation of the season has been the film made under Kim's wise leadership called "Diary of a Student Girl," the North's KCNA news agency said.

"(It) is screened before full houses in Pyongyang every day, evoking lively response from people of all walks of life," it said.

Unlike the big movies from Hollywood this summer, there are no pirates, animated cars or mutants making a last stand in the North Korean movie billed as a "close companion of life."

Iran wants nukes and refused to accept any constraints on its nuclear programs.

Muslims Miffed

The president's statement that America is "at war with Islamic fascists" after British authorities thwarted that terror plot has offended one Muslim group, which says the president shouldn't even mention Islam when referring to terrorists.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations says: "There is nothing in the Koran or the Islamic faith that encourages people to be cruel or to be vicious."

CAIR also called on the U.S. media to adopt the British policy of not identifying terror suspects as Muslim, Islamic, or Islamist — even when they're motivated by religious beliefs — saying the press should "make sure we don't start a religious war against Islam."

The truth needs to see the light of day. With the exposition of the fauxtography scandals cracking the facade of the MSN (NME), I remain hopeful.

Yeah, I'm depressed about the Israeli ceasefire this morning. But I really don't think what's being proposed as a solution has any chance at all of being enforced. It feels like a smokescreen. All war is deception, according to Sun Tzu.

I still think Israel will wind up doing what it must to survive. But I also think that a lot more people are going to die than would have otherwise been the case.

In this day and age, with this enemy, our compassion and civility is a liability. We must learn how to wage this new kind of war much more effectively and efficiently than we have so far.

And despite what it looks like now, I believe we will.

to speak to the audience.

The sound you heard was may jaw dropping and hitting the floor.

I hate to say it but the FBI seems so co-opted.

When is the FBI going to meet with leaders of Jewish Community centers in Seattle, or temples with Grave markers dummped over and broken, some 100 yrs old? When does

Ira

n wants 'religious empire' in Middle East: Shimon Peres
PARIS (AFP) - Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres has urged the international community to prevent Iran from imposing a "religious empire" across the Middle East.

"The problem, once again, lies with the religious ambitions of the Persians," Peres told French television France 3 Thursday.

"That is why many people, even among Arabs, are against Hezbollah and the Iranians. They want to maintain the Middle East as an Arab place, not an Iranian religious empire."

"The world, including France, needs to do something to stop this dangerous behaviour," he said.
Israel accuses Iran and Syria of supporting the Shiite Hezbollah militia in Lebanon and supplying it with arms, notably its arsenal of thousands of rockets, which is being used to shower Israel with attacks every day.

The two countries consistently argue that their support for Hezbollah is purely moral.

611 Village Idiot's Apprentice  Sat, Aug 12, 2006 5:10:06am

Captain Ed, as always, has some good commentary about the cease fire.
One thing I failed to pick up on, is that provided it goes forth, the withdrawal is basically a "As we retreat from this point, the UN responsibility starts at that point."

While I'm not happy with the resolution, it appears that Israel intends to push as deeply into Lebanon as possible before they withdraw.
I'm guessing that the theory is that hizbollah can't go more than a day or two without screwing up and firing something off.
At that point, Israel can halt the withdrawal, and commence "Defensive" operations from deeper into Lebanon.

I'm not a tactician, I just play one on the innernut

612 J.D.  Sat, Aug 12, 2006 5:11:46am

I wouldn't go out of my way to watch Mike Wallace interview anyone.
And how do you explain Chris Wallace?

The One-Percent Problem
Dick Cheney is right.

Ron Suskind’s best-selling book The One Percent Doctrine refers to Vice President Dick Cheney’s axiom that if there is a one-percent chance of a nuclear bomb going off in an American city, the U.S. government has to respond with all the urgency as if there is a 100 percent chance of such an event. When Suskind’s book appeared, there was much clucking about Cheney’s thinking — so dire, so dark, so unmodulated.

But Cheney’s vision can only be considered unhinged if a fog of complacency descends about the terror threat facing us. Whenever that threat becomes clear again, as it has in the wake of the breakup of a plot in Britain to blow airliners from the sky, everyone begins to think like Dick Cheney, or maybe more so: If there is a mere .0001-percent chance of a terrorist smuggling liquid explosives on a flight from Denver to Green Bay, Wis., no one can carry on hair gel, and new mothers must present their baby formula for inspection.

The fact is that we live in a one-percent world. We face a shadowy enemy who represents a threat that is unspeakably awful when it is actualized, but is too easy to discount when it isn’t. Who even remembers that suspects were arrested in Miami two months ago in the very early stages of plotting perhaps to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago? It’s always possible to let the mind wander, until thousands of innocent civilians are killed. ...

Luckily, the UNSC Res. appears to be sufficiently vague to allow us to go on with fighting till we take the area up to the Litani (hopefully) and clean up the hinterland.

We are asking the US to speed up delivery of M-26 artillery rockets

According to the paper, the request for M-26 artillery rockets, which are fired in barrages and carry hundreds of grenade-like bomblets that scatter and explode over a broad area, is likely to be approved shortly, along with other arms.

If we intend to deploy them in the current theatre and the US backs that, it would indicate that some time of fighting is still ahead.

Wounded soldiers seem to have stories of fierce ground battles with Hezbollah. Above, Israeli soldiers returning from southern Lebanon.

Seem to have stories? You mean you're not sure that they're true? Or that there weren't fierce battles? What exactly are you trying to say when you include the word 'seem' in that sentence?

Within the story itself:

There are dozens of wounded soldiers here in northern Israel’s main hospital, and all seem to have stories of unexpectedly fierce ground battles with Hezbollah. They describe Hezbollah as heavily armed, well organized and maddeningly elusive. The fighters, well concealed in bunkers and tunnels, emerge to fire automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and antitank rockets, they say, and then quickly disappear again.

MP Praises Journalists for Informing Public Opinions of Zionists' Crimes

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- An Iranian member of the parliament said here on Friday that the public hatred for the world Zionism is a result of proper dissemination of information by the journalists.

"If it had not been for the industrious efforts of the journalists in the battleground, the world might have not been informed of such Israeli aggressions as the catastrophe in Qana, the routine bombardment of the oppressed Lebanese people and etc.," vice-chairman of the Parliament's Cultural Commission Javad Aryan-Manesh told FNA reporter in the northeastern city of Mashhad.

He said committed journalists have taken all the risks and dedicated their lives in a bid to take the initiative to promulgate the news and information.

Aryan-Manesh described journalism as a truly risky job.

GRAMSCIAN SOCIALISTS ARE THE CALIPHATE'S WHORES!
~ bz


Useful Idiots Are Islam’s Best Soldiers
Amil Imani

Islam enjoys a large and influential ally among the non-Muslims: A new generation of "Useful Idiots," that Lenin identified as those who lived in liberal democracies and furthered the work of communism. This new generation of Useful Idiots also lives in liberal democracies but serves the cause of Islamofascism—another virulent form of totalitarian ideology.

Useful Idiots are naïve, foolish, ignorant of facts, unrealistically idealistic, dreamers, willfully in denial or deceptive. They hail from the ranks of the chronically unhappy, the anarchists, the aspiring revolutionaries, the neurotics who are at war with life, the disaffected who are alienated from government, corporations, and just about any and all institutions of society. The Useful Idiot can be a billionaire, a movie star, an academe of renown, a politician, or from any other segment of the population.

Arguably, the most dangerous Useful Idiot is the "Politically Correct." He is the master practitioner of euphemism, hedging, doubletalk, and outright deception.

The Useful Idiot derives satisfaction from being anti-establishment. He finds perverse gratification in aiding the forces that aim to dismantle an existing order, whatever it may be: an order he neither approves of nor he feels he belongs to.

The Useful Idiot is conflicted and dishonest. He fails to look inside himself and discover the causes of his own problems and unhappiness while he readily enlists himself in causes that validate his distorted perception.

Understandably, it is easier to blame others and the outside world than to examine oneself with an eye to self-discovery and self-improvement. Furthermore, criticizing and complaining—liberal practices of the Useful Idiot—require little talent and energy. The Useful Idiot is a great armchair philosopher and "Monday Morning Quarterback."

"It is less threatening to believe that only a hijacked small segment of Islam is radical or politically driven and that the main body of Islam is indeed moderate and non-political."

The Useful Idiot is not the same as a person who honestly has a different point of view. A society without honest and open differences of views is a dead society. Critical, different and fresh ideas are the life blood of a living society—the very anathema of autocracies where the official position is sacrosanct.

Maybe Bush, Olmert, Condi and company are going to best Hizzie at their own game? Claim truce, then reign hell? I've been trying to get them to manipulate the media and the U.N. like they've been manipulated. Maybe my wish came true.

Otherwise, Olmert should be removed and the U.S. sold Israel out for our extended interests. And in the long run, that's not in our best interest because anyone, anyone, with half a brain knows Hizballah must be removed from Lebanon, then Syria.

[Link: www.aynrand.org...]

Bush Administration Betrays Israel and America
August 11, 2006

Irvine, CA--"By pressuring Israel to accept the U.N.'s cease-fire agreement, the Bush administration is betraying Israel--and America," said Dr. Yaron Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute.

"In the wake of a plot to kill thousands of westerners, our administration is doing nothing more than having Americans throw out their toothpaste and shampoo. Meanwhile, our leaders are forcing the one country that is actually taking serious action against Islamic totalitarianism to back down. We should be helping Israel to destroy Hezbollah, not urging it to hold back.

"This moral travesty is a betrayal of Bush's so-called war on terror."

His article about the "Iran Mullahs' Aim" from the week before is just as good.

The Imams and their brethren remind me an awful lot of Koresh and his flock. A false messianic figure, world government and the works...

Only instead of stockpiling weapons and food about survival (paranoia of the gov't), the Imams have the delusion of the paranoia of the infidels. Parallels are similar in many ways because both think they can usher in the end of the age...

Iranian, Russian Presidents Concerned about Human Tragedy in ME

Iranian and Russian Presidents in a phone conversation on Friday discussed the latest Middle-East developments and Israel's continued invasion of Lebanon and exchanged views about the possible ways of ending the current war.

Don't you know 'they discussed possible ways of ending the war', including but not limited to the destruction of Israel.

He(Putinhead) also confirmed President Ahmadinejad's concerns about the fact that regional countries might burst in uncontrollable anger in case Zionists' atrocities are continued, and further underscored that the world concentration on the Zionist regime's war against Lebanon must not result in heedlessness towards the current conditions in Palestine.

Now why might they 'burst in uncontrollable anger?' It couldn't be because of statements by this {self-censored}, now could it? Supreme Leader Orders All to Defend Hezbollah

I agree

the hezballah may be so effectively entrenched, that the cost of rooting them out is too high

so put the arabs on the ground,according to the UN thats their job...

while Israel bombs the shit out of any attempts to resupply

also, there must be a way to map the tunnels, some of which (I am sure) begin in Syria

to prevent resupply
...............

Took him quite a while at the hospital to remember what year it was, who he is, how old he is, who the president is... Did I mention he is only 43 (and about two months younger than I)? He's waiting for test results from the neurologist to find out what it was....

This Religion of Peace crap! Yeah, there will be peace when every living person is a slave to an imam.

Absence of conflict is not peace. Peace is Truth, Justice, Love and Freedom.
With the profound intuition that characterized him, John XXIII identified the essential conditions for peace in four precise requirements of the human spirit: truth, justice, love and freedom (cf. ibid., I: l.c., 265-266). Truth will build peace if every individual sincerely acknowledges not only his rights, but also his own duties towards others. Justice will build peace if in practice everyone respects the rights of others and actually fulfils his duties towards them. Love will build peace if people feel the needs of others as their own and share what they have with others, especially the values of mind and spirit which they possess. Freedom will build peace and make it thrive if, in the choice of the means to that end, people act according to reason and assume responsibility for their own actions.

OT: THOU SHALT SLAUGHTER
Hitler wrote his own bible commandments - Bible recently discovered in German church.

...he knew the power of the church in Germany and couldn't banish it overnight. Instead, his plan was to gradually "Nazify" the church, beginning with a theological centre he set up in 1939 to rewrite the Bible.

He appointed professors to work on the Nazi version and remove all references to Jews and compassion.

But more important for Hitler was the eradication of Jewish words, including Hallelujah, Jehovah and even Jerusalem, which became "the eternal city of God".

Hitler, in a memo, said: "The book will have to serve the fight against the immortal Jewish enemy."

Hitler rewrote the Bible and added two commandments

10.08.2006 Source: URL: [Link: english.pravda.ru...]

An institute, founded on Hitler’s command, rewrote Bible texts, eliminating all mentions of the special role of the Jewish people. According to Hitler’s version, Christ was an advocate of Aryan ideas. Sections from the Nazi Bible will be published by German publication Bild on Thursday.

In May 1939, on the Furher’s command, a theological institute was founded in Eisenach with the purpose of contributing to “dejewification”. Its employees edited biblical texts, removing non-Aryan passages. Dozens of works printed by the institute were published in over 100 thousand copies of the new Holy Scripture. It was assumed that this work would become a standard household book amongst Germans.

For a long time, almost nothing was known about Hitler’s Bible, since believers burnt almost every copy. However, a few copies were discovered in German churches at the end of the 1980s, but this was kept hidden from the general public at the time, writes Izvestia.

German biblical archivist Hansjorg Buss has summarized the dubious achievements of Hitler’s myrmidons for Bild newspaper.

“Germans with the Lord – the German book of faith”: the renewed version of the Holy Scripture contained 12 edited commandments instead of 10, as follows:

1. Honor your Fuhrer and master.

2. Keep the blood pure and your honor holy.

3.Honor God and believe in him wholeheartedly.

4. Seek out the peace of God.

5. Avoid all hypocrisy.

6. Holy is your health and life.

7. Holy is your well-being and honor.

8. Holy is your truth and fidelity.

9. Honor your father and mother -- your children are your aid and your example.

10. Maintain and multiply the heritage of your forefathers.

11. Be ready to help and forgive.

12. Joyously serve the people with work and sacrifice.

In the new edition of the psalms, words of Jewish origin, such as messiah and halleluiah, were altered and the city of Jerusalem was referred to as Eternal City of God. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was presented as resulting from a battle he fought against the Jews.

In the 1940 edition, the following words can be found: “The Evangelical Jesus can only become the savior of our German people, because it does not incarnate the ideas of Judaism, but fights against them mercilessly.”

“The German people fought against the destruction of their life and essence by the Jews ”, wrote the director of the institute Walter Grundmann. Hitler personally signed the decree on the appropriation of the awarding of the title of professor to him.

And finally, Jesus’ ancestors, according to the Nazis, came from the Caucuses, therefore there was no way that the savior could have been Jewish.

That doesn't even satisfy thier blood lust. Look at Iraq where Sunni kills Shi'ite. Afghanistan where the Wahabbists kill others for not being Muslim enough. Palestinian territory where Fatah kills Hamas for practicisng the wrong kind of Islam.
They love and glorify only one thing DEATH.

I just wanted to say that I started reading the Koran recently.

On page three, Jews were called Satanic.

It got worse from there.

The hatred is all spelled out in the Koran. This is the ugly truth no one wants to acknowledge

Show it to everyone you know....Carry it and show it to whoever calls Islam peace.

Thanks. The doctors said that if he has another episode (seizure?), they have to notify the DMV and he won't be able to drive for five years, after which he has to document that he hasn't had another episode during that five years (not sure how he proves that negative, but thems the laws around these parts)....

Yes, it is depressing. But then again, Christianity was heavily antisemitic until relatively recently. So you know, religions can change.

CAIR is a corrupt, paranoid, delusional bunch of anti-American Muslims whose only niche is puking out stuff like this.. link. That this nonsense is still posted on their website 3 years after the fact proves my description of them.

They always worry that typical Americans are potential "terrorist" waiting to strike the nearest Mosque like the mob scene from the end of the movie "Frankenstein". Its pure projectionism. They see their own qualities in everyone around them.

And if a Christian or Jewish organization posted a webpage like that, they would be universally ridiculed and scorned.

Actually they probably leave this web page up because they know (and or hope) sooner or later their Muslim brothers will devise and pull off another 9/11 style attack in America. But having a web-page titled "How to protect your mosque after the next 9/11" would be too un-PC.

from same link,

Why August 22nd? Perhaps simply because Washington has set a deadline for the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and has demanded a complete wrap up of the nuclear program by that day.

Wasn't it Amhadinnerjacket who'd set that date?

#683 Thomas,

"Iran Mullahs' Aim" = "Koresh and his flock."

WTF?

That was between a couple of like minded believers. I should have been more clear for the board.

What I meant was Mahmoud thinks he will usher in the end of the age and a great awakening (Aug 22nd, last I heard; won't happen). Koresh thought of himself a messianic figure and prophet who would usher in the tribulation...

Didn't mean Koresh was planning a mass murder of the Infidels like Imams, nor did I think him much of a threat, but the heart of their prophecy was the same...

Golden Jerusalem:
#610 mkm19602000:

Luckily, the UNSC Res. appears to be sufficiently vague to allow us to go on with fighting till we take the area up to the Litani (hopefully) and clean up the hinterland.

We are asking the US to speed up delivery of M-26 artillery rockets

According to the paper, the request for M-26 artillery rockets, which are fired in barrages and carry hundreds of grenade-like bomblets that scatter and explode over a broad area, is likely to be approved shortly, along with other arms.

If we intend to deploy them in the current theatre and the US backs that, it would indicate that some time of fighting is still ahead.

That's my take as well GJ, and I had asked a few weeks ago whether the IDF was using ICM or not, you must not have been on. Now that most of the civies are out of the region it's time for a little "steel rain" on the hezbollah parade.

Rock and Roll Doctor
-- Lowell George, Fred Martin

There was a woman in Georgia didn't feel just right
She had fever all day and chills at night
Now things got worse, yes a serious bind
At times like this it takes a man with such style I cannot often find
A doctor of the heart and a doctor of mind

If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice

It's just a country town but patients come
From Mobile to Moline from miles around
Nagodoches to New Orleans
In beat-up old cars or in limousines
To meet the doctor of soul, he's got his very own thing

Two degrees in be-bop, a PHD in swing
He's the master of rhythm he's a rock and roll king

If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet (he's the man to meet)
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat (I say he can't be beat)
If you... If you wanna
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice

But then again, Christianity was heavily antisemitic until relatively recently. So you know, religions can change.

Quella, in trying to be forgiving with you, just as a quick little learning experience for you, about Christianity, find a Bible, Old Test./New Test., and read Romans Chapter 11.

It was written by Paul, in about 6-10AD, so your "claim" that "Christianity was heavily anti-semetic, is nothing short of blasphemy!

Oh, that, and from cover to cover, there is not one word from GOD, which tells any Christian to be anti-semetic.

In fact, it is exactly the opposite.

Please, please, if you are going to speak about matters Christian, at least have half a clue of what you speak.

New Testament: Romans, Chapter 11

The Lebanon guy who was crying in the UN the other day is crowing like a cock that Lebanon has been 'victorious'.

Lebanon is about to get flattened for real.

And you know what? IMHO, they deserve it.

They have firmly aligned themselves with the terrorists.

Wrong, again quella!

Please read Romans Chapter 11 in the New Testament, it was written by Paul in about 6-10AD, quella.

Do you understand now, that was just after Chirist's death and Resurection!

Paul SPECIFICLY states where Christianity stands with regards to Jews, and Israel!

Please read Romans Chapter 11 quella, then you'll understand, that what you are saying, and have obviously believed,, is not the Truth!
