 RetweetCat Stevens, aka Yusuf Islam, aka Fanatic Misogynist

Mon, Mar 26, 2007 at 8:12:49 pm PDT

The singer formerly known as Cat Stevens, now known as either ‘Yusuf Islam’ or ‘Yusuf’ depending on which audience is watching, accepted a “lifetime achivement” award in Germany over the weekend, for “building bridges” between Islam and the West—and refused to speak with the infidel female guides at the event, because they weren’t wearing the badge of submission: Yusuf Islam Ignores Bare-Headed Women.

Muslim singer YUSUF ISLAM reportedly refused to speak with the female guides at a German event over the weekend (24-25MAR07) because they weren’t veiled - despite accepting an honour for building bridges between Eastern and Western cultures.

The star, formerly known as CAT STEVENS, received a special prize at the Echo Awards last night (25MAR07) in Berlin for his musical, social and political work and was praised as a bridge-builder between the West and the Islamic world.

However, when the FATHER AND SON singer, 58, rehearsed his appearance the day before the prize giving (24MAR07), he acted rather narrow minded, according to German publication B.Z.

When the hostesses approached Islam, who arrived with his management and his veiled wife FAEZIA, telling him that they were his guides, he simply ignored them and didn’t even take a look at the women.

Islam’s manager explains, “Mr Islam doesn’t speak with women except his wife. Least of all if they don’t wear a headscarf. Things like that only happen via an intermediary.”

Oh the irony.

Truth is, I heard they were going to name the award that he won the Building Bridges between the East and West as long as you (1) are male (2) are a submissive woman (3) not a married male in a room of women (4) follow the rules of Sharia, (5) are a covered woman (6) a woman only attempting to speak to your husband award, but they couldn't fit all that (and more) on the trophy.

I also heard that the other name for that award was "The Trojan Horse" award...not sure how they came up with that name though.

Last night I downloaded "Morning Has Broken" for my iPod. Cat Stevens is often credited for having written it when in fact it was written in 1931. He even refused to to acknowledge Rick Wakeman's piano contribution on the hit until years later.

A great tune spoiled by the thought of what this man has become.

Rick Wakeman released an instrumental version of the song in 2000.

This is the version I downloaded.

“Mr Islam doesn’t speak with women except his wife.

I don't see conceit or arrogance here at all. I say he's willingly subjecting himself to the standards normally applied only to women in Islam. Hey if his wife can't talk to male strangers, than he shouldn't talk to female strangers either. I think he's breaking ground there. He's the first metrosexual Muslim. I bet he even nursed the babies with one of those fake boobs for the dad who wants to feel like a mom. HA!

I just can't figure out how those who gave him the award didn't find his attitude (it was the day before) so obnoxious and counter to what he was being awarded for, that it would have been acceptable to rescind the prize.

its like giving the family values prize to Bill Clinton, or an oratory majesty award to George W. Bush.

personally, cat stevens can speak (or not speak) to whomever he wants...but to give him a "bridge building" prize after he refuses to even speak to women is amazing.

My point is that somewhere in the 70s Cat Stevens died and some thing called Yusuf Islam took over. It's not the same main who wrote Peace Train.

48 hous bin pharteen  Mon, Mar 26, 2007 6:45:39pm

Hmm. Guess either Dolly Parton had to put on the ol hefty trash bag, or its a-okay to talk to a woman without it if it makes you money and does not hurt your street cred with the Jihadi boys.

On 21 September 2004 Yusuf Islam was traveling on a United Airlines flight from London to Washington, en route to a meeting with singer Dolly Parton who had recorded a cover of "Peace Train" several years earlier and was planning to include another Cat Stevens song on an upcoming album. While the plane was in flight, the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System flagged his name as being on a no-fly list. Customs agents alerted the Transportation Security Administration, which then diverted his flight to Bangor, Maine, where he was detained by the FBI.

Too late. I'm issuing one now. Henceforth, listening to Cat Stevens is a violation of American Common Sense. One should do nothing to enrich, encourage, or praise one's enemies.

Better watch out Britney and your girlfriends.
He might want you beaten or killed.

On February 21, 1989 Yusuf Islam addressed students at Kingston University in London about his journey to Islam and was asked about the controversy in the Muslim world and the fatwa calling for Salman Rushdie's execution. He claims to have only stated the legal consequences from the Qur'an - that blasphemy is a capital offense - and not actually have made any claims of support for the fatwa. Newspapers quickly denounced Yusuf Islam's "support" for a possible assassination of Rushdie. The next day he released a statement saying that he was not personally encouraging anybody towards vigilantism.[21]

However, on May 23, 1989, the New York Times reported on comments Yusuf Islam had made on a British television courtroom-style program, Hypotheticals,[22] in an episode ("A Satanic Scenario") that had already been recorded to be broadcast the following week, and that Islam had in a later interview reaffirmed the comments he made:

[Rather than go to a demonstration to burn an effigy of the author Salman Rushdie] I would have hoped that it'd be the real thing.[23]

[If Rushdie turned up at my doorstep looking for help] I might ring somebody who might do more damage to him than he would like. I'd try to phone the Ayatollah Khomeini and tell him exactly where this man is.[23]

On March 8 1989, while speaking in London's Regents Park Mosque, when asked by a Christian Science Monitor reporter how he would "cope with the idea of killing a writer for writing a book" he is reported to have replied:

In Islam there is a line between let's say freedom and the line which is then transgressed into immorality and irresponsibility and I think as far as this writer is concerned, unfortunately, he has been irresponsible with his freedom of speech. Salman Rushdie or indeed any writer who abuses the prophet, or indeed any prophet, under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death. It's got to be seen as a deterrent, so that other people should not commit the same mistake again.[

Maybe he simply didn't like the freedoms that woman have in America, he couldn't control woman the way that he wanted to, and looked into Islam, and found, as fact, that you can do just about anything that you may want to do, to a woman in Islam, and do it legally, and that is that.

Heck, the Taliban, following sharia law, executed woman in soccer stadiums for simply showing too much ankle, so, he obviously must like those "legalities" better.

Any man, who refuses to talk to a woman, simply because she is a woman, is inhumane.

While I still enjoy the majority of (the artist formerly known as) Cat Stevens' 70s catalog, I think he just added a fundie Muslim veneer to the true self that he's been since he was doing mainstream pop...he's acting like a prissy, stuck-up twit, which gets magnified even more since he's come back into the world spotlight as a Muslim.

That is so profoundly tragic to me because - back around 1977 - I saw Cat Stevens at the Summit in Houston, and it was one of the top ten pop concerts I've ever seen. His interaction with us in the audience was funny and touching and, well, a masterful example of an entertainer at work. His present condition is exactly as though he died and was reanimated by some evil spirit. Exactly.

U.S. Can't Account for 600,000 'Illegal' Fugitives

WASHINGTON (AP) - Teams assigned to make sure foreigners ordered out of the United States actually leave have a backlog of more than 600,000 cases and can't accurately account for the fugitives' whereabouts, the government reported Monday.
The report by the Homeland Security Department's inspector general found that the effectiveness of teams assigned to find the fugitives was hampered by "insufficient detention capacity, limitations of an immigration database and inadequate working space."

Even though more than $204 million was allocated for 52 fugitive operations teams since 2003, a backlog of 623,292 cases existed as of August of 2006, the report said.

The number of illegal immigrants in the United States has been estimated at between 11.5 million and 12 million. About 5.4 percent of them are believed to be "fugitive aliens," those who have failed to leave the country after being ordered out.

The inspector general found there is not enough bed space available to detain such fugitives and that agents are hampered by an inaccurate database. Other factors that limit the teams' effectiveness are insufficient staffing, the report said.

Until the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, attempts to catch such fugitives were mostly carried out by teams not exclusively devoted to the task. After the attacks, an Absconder Apprehension Initiative was created within the Justice Department to find, apprehend and deport such immigrants. When the Homeland Security Department was created in March 2003, it assumed responsibility.

Plans for the new office stated that it aimed to eliminate the case backlog by the end of 2012, although a field manual put the timetable at 2009, the report said.

Yet "despite the efforts of the teams, the backlog of fugitive alien cases has increased each fiscal year since the program was established in February 2002," the inspector general said.

But the report said the weekly field office reports sent to headquarters do not accurately reflect what the teams have actually done. Sometimes they include apprehensions made by other federal, state or local law enforcement agencies. The reports might also include cases closed because of an immigrant's death, voluntary departure from the country or being changed to legal status.

"The current reporting system does not provide a means by which managers can assess teams' performance," the inspector general concluded. That makes it impossible to determine if the teams are meeting their goals, the report said.

OT: Did anyone else watch the PBS documentary on "Pilgrimage to Karbala" tonight? I missed the first part but saw most of it, and I didn't see anything about the idiot Mooselims cutting themselves up and bleeding all over the place to "celebrate" Ashura. They made the whole thing out to be this beautiful, sanctified, holy event, with the only bloodletting shown when a goat had its head cut off, and that was only for a few seconds.

They made quite a big deal about how Iran (the pilgrims were Iranians who took a bus from Tehran to Karbala) isn't the "increasingly secularized" nation that the West hopes it is, and that middle class and professional types are making the pilgrimage, are devout Mooselims, etc. But it wasn't a "you should be scared of the crazy people" angle, it was more like, "you see, these intelligent, normal people love their beautiful religion."

Of course, they did talk a lot about Imam Hussain and martyrdom, but it was all in a very sanitized, stylized, "holy" way, with the only dead bodies shown being those killed by the Shah's troops during the revolution of 1979.

The main pilgrim who they followed to Karbala and back was a total hypocrite -- a "devout" Mooselim, yet he owned a dog and loved to wrestle with it. Of course, the PBS moonbat characterized this as "complexity" rather than hypocrisy. When this guy got to Karbala, he called his mother at home in Tehran, told her her was across the street from Imam Hussain's temple, and told her to ask him for anything she wanted -- then held up the phone and pointed it at the temple. Can you imagine PBS treating this behavior respectfully if it were from a Christian or Jew?

The whole thing was utterly disgusting. Leni Riefenstahl would be proud.

If the topic isn't interesting, say so. But Yusuf Islam is only the front guard of what we see next. Smooth, comfortable Muslim haters already assimilated into our culture is all about what they are about. They know it, and we might as well be brain dead.

Remember, they are increasing in this world at a rate greater than two for every one person that supports democracy. And the reason why is that we actually value human life, while they view it as a disposable commodity. It's simple to them: overrun the infidels through strength of numbers, and give them all the tools they need to smooth the way to destruction.

It's what they are as a religion. They don't care about us, we are the object in their way.

If you acquiese to "peaceful Islam" at any step of the way, then you will surely surrender every step of the way to the destruction of the world that you know, unless you are in fact on the side of the devil.

Sean Penn: Like Father, Like Son

In 1939, Adolph Hitler had made clear his intentions for the Jews. He had made clear his intentions for all of Europe. He had made clear his intentions for Nazi Germany to dominate the world.

Nevertheless, there were some people in Hollywood who were making statements like that. There were people in Hollywood who were marching against war with Germany. There were people in Hollywood who, like Sean Penn, wanted to appease this evil on the horizon.

No, there was no active Nazi Party in the U.S. or Hollywood. But there was a party under the active control of a foreign totalitarian dictator. It was the Communist Party USA and the foreign tyrant was Josef Stalin.

Why were Communists in Hollywood – even Jews -- saying nice things about Hitler in 1939 – and even as late as 1941? They were doing so because of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact – also known as the Hitler-Stalin Pact.

It was signed in 1939 and broken June 22, 1941, when the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union.

From 1939 right up until June 22, 1941, the Communists in Hollywood had nothing but praise for Hitler. They held rallies against aiding Britain in its life-and-death struggle with Nazism. They gave speeches saying Hitler was no threat. They wrote anti-war scripts.

All that changed June 22, 1941. One day the Hollywood Communists were pro-Hitler. The next day they wanted to go to war. Why? Because they took their orders directly from masters in the Soviet Union.

Would it surprise you to learn that one of those prominent Hollywood Communist Jews who sided with Germany until the breaking of that Hitler-Stalin Pact was none other than Leo Penn, the late father of Sean Penn.

Amazing? Yes, but true.

You don't believe history repeats itself?

Interfering with their goals,

Police killed two suspected terror recruiters in a gun battle at a boys school after hearing they were trying to sign up students for suicide bombings and holy war, officials said. One police officer was killed by a hand grenade during the brief clash.

Three suspected militants turned up at the privately run Oxford Public School in Tank, a town in northwestern Pakistan about 100 kilometers from the Afghan border, on Monday morning, local police chief Mumtaz Khan said.

"We heard that they were looking for children to prepare them for jihad and for suicide attacks,"
Khan told The Associated Press.

No students were hurt in the clash. The school, which teaches English to boys between the ages of 5 and 17, was closed when a reporter visited later Monday and its administrators could not be reached for comment.

But I guess the important people at the UN also hate women, perhaps because their mothers were sharmutas, or something of the sort. They don't give a damn for women.

Asking people to stay on-topic on the latest post is well nigh asking the impossible, more so when it appears to be the overnight thread. Sorry, but when you get a large enough group in any discussion, strays and zingers will happen.

And here's my own OT. This one's a bit strange, just because I never thought I'd see something like this in the good ol' US of A:

Resale Price Maintenance may be legalized by SCOTUS.

A fundamental rule of our free-market system is at stake in Leegin v. PSKS: the rule that manufacturers may not prevent retail discounting by colluding with dealers to fix the prices at which their products are sold at retail. The question presented is whether such minimum resale price maintenance (“RPM”) agreements should continue to be per se illegal or, rather, should be evaluated under a very lenient standard, which in antitrust parlance is called the “rule of reason.”

When employed, RPM prevents consumers from “shopping around” for the best price because it prevents retailers from putting on sale any and all types of products, including not only large purchases, but also everyday purchases—from groceries to gasoline. Because of the per se rule against RPM, consumers have saved hundreds of billions of dollars over the years, while the retailing industry has progressed from small shops to department stores to discount warehouses to, most recently, online commerce. Abandoning the per se rule in favor of rule of reason would provide cold comfort to American consumers; for it is widely recognized that to accord RPM a rule of reason treatment would effectively make RPM legal.

The only upside I see in this is that Microsoft will price themselves right out of the market, and Linux and the BSD flavors will become very attractive options on new PC's.

on the one hand, the Haliburtion move to Dubai is certainly outrageous. but when you consider it, its just a move to the same time zone as Iraq - and thats important for American business interests. (doing conference calls with Iraq late in the evening American time can get annoying after a while)
They'd move to Baghdad if they could, but its just , quite frankly, too dangerous to do so right now.

I wouldnt be surprised if they decamp from Dubai at the first opportunity and move to somewhere like Erbil in Kurdistan.

I'd say his true colors have shown through and people should be burning his cd's enmass. He just happened to find a reason to act this way and label himself.

Speaking of the freak sean penn..I posted this earlier but still find it funny:

Sean Penn is such a peaceful person:

Of even more concern is an alleged timeline of Penn's criminal past, as compiled via public sources online:

In 1985, Sean Penn was arrested in Nashville for assault and battery for attacking two photographers with a rock. He plead guilty, paid a fine and was given a suspended sentence.

In 1986, Penn slugged a man he accused of trying to kiss his wife. Again he plead guilty and was placed on parole.

In 1997, while on parole for his previous conviction, he punched an extra working on his film "Colors" who tried to take a picture of him. He served half of a 60-day jail sentence for parole violation.

In 1998, Penn was accused of hitting a photographer with a rock. Penn claimed the photographer attacked the rock in Penn's hand with his head and injured himself. No arrest was made.

He's a violent little pecker isn't he?

Hicks home 'in months'

Protective orders from the judge prevented lawyers from both sides from commenting specifically about what led to today's dramatic about face from Hicks to enter a guilty plea. Specification one of the charge detailed at length Hicks's links to terrorist organisations and his activities in Afghanistan where he met Osama bin Laden and completed al-Qa'ida training courses.

Specification two simply alleged that Hicks entered Afghanistan from about December 2000 to December 2001 to provide support for terrorism and that he did so in “in the context of and was associated with an armed conflict namely al-Qa'ida or its associated forces against the United States or its coalition partners”.

Western intelligence reports leaked recently have suggested that Sandzak, as well as Muslim-dominated regions in neighboring Bosnia, could serve as a recruitment spot for the so-called "white al-Qaida", Muslims with Western features who could easily blend into European or U.S. cities and carry out attacks.

Several incidents have been reported recently in Sandzak, with the Wahhabis accusing local Muslim clerics of failing to practice "true" Islam and disrupting prayers at local mosques.

Russians reveal 'Bond plot' that killed Butcher of Beslan

However, what looked like official photographs of the special operation that culminated in his death have appeared in the daily newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets alongside a detailed account of the attack. The report looked like a deliberate leak from the FSB. In an article that read like a script from a James Bond film, it told of a decoy lorry, of female FSB agents posing as waitresses, of doctored food and drink, and a lorry stuffed with enough guns and explosives to start a small war.

The Fat Bat, aka Rosie O'Donnell, continues to swill Kool-Aid at a prodigious rate. Yesterday, she declared that the US and the UK had deliberately allowed the 15 British sailors and marines to be captured as a casus belli, invoking the Gulf of Tonkin incident as a precedent.
In the process, she took it for granted that the Iranians were telling the truth about the group being in Iranian waters and implied to her audience that this is not even in dispute. Her strawman version of the US/British case is that the sailors"(entered Iranian waters) supposedly, accidentally." Of course, there is no such claim or admission and only the Iranians claim that the incident happened in Iranian territorial waters.
The traitorous sow has also posted more links to pro-terror 9-11 conspira-liars.
This cannot go on much longer. Those propagandists who wilfully facilitate the mad mullah's acquistion of nuclear weapons are accessories to, and advocates of, genocide. These beasts must be held to account.

Thousands evacuated in Gaza sewage flood

UMM NASER VILLAGE, Gaza Strip- At least three people died and many more were missing after sewage and mud flooded a northern Gaza Strip village Tuesday, officials said.

The village, Umm Naser, was flooded when the earth wall of a large cesspool sewage pool collapsed. A 70-year-old woman, a 4-year-old boy, and another man died in the sudden flood, and another 25 people were injured, according to Dr. Muawiya Hassanin of the Palestinian Health Ministry.

At least 25 houses were completely submerged in the sewage, and residents said more than 200 people were still missing in the village of 3,000.

The cause of the collapse was not immediately clear.

Rescue crews and gunmen from the militant Muslim group Hamas rushed to the area to search for people feared buried. Most of the village's residents fled or were evacuated.

Perhaps there is a reason why Hamas rushed gunmen to the scene so quickly, and they fired on the PA Interior Minister. Perhaps the sh*t tank conceals a Hamas military site. Perhaps Hamas undermined the tank with tunnels for armaments or transit. It may be a bunker. Maybe that's why it collapsed and caused the tragedy.

Israel, US disagree on new ME approach

Jerusalem's objections to US shuttle diplomacy between Israel and the Palestinians over final-status issues led to the postponement Monday night of a press conference at which US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was expected to outline this new initiative, senior diplomatic officials said Monday.

According to the officials, Rice was expected to announce that direct talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority would be replaced by parallel discussions she would hold with both sides over "political horizon" issues dealing with the contours of a future Palestinian state.

An embrace of jihadist 'peace'
By Caroline B. Glick

Recent history shows that the US and Israel will both pay heavily for the opportunism of our weak political leaders. It can only be hoped that the Israeli and American people have learned enough from our experiences to demand that our leaders stop their reckless behavior before the price of their cowardice and perfidy become unbearable

Hey, here's some good news about Iraq, and it was in al-Reuters believe it or not.

U.S. says caught Iraq car bombers blamed for 900 dead

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. forces captured two leaders of a major car bomb cell responsible for attacks that killed around 900 Iraqis, mostly in the Shi'ite district of Sadr City in Baghdad, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.

The first of the two suspects was captured when U.S. forces noticed his vehicle weaving in and out of traffic and his driver ignored signals to stop.

The second was detained around seven hours later after U.S. forces received "actionable intelligence" that led them to stop a passing vehicle, the statement said.

I would guess the "actionable intelligence" was comprised of the first guy singing like a bird. I expect the ACLU to demand that both of these terrorists are given medals and treated like heroes (they are in the MSM eyes). And I'm sure the enemy appreciated the MSM divulging how these two animals were caught.

Children targeted in Baghdad


SELIM Amer's wife had been badgering him to take her out of the house. She had not been out since giving birth three months ago and was getting cabin fever.

He knew that the streets of Amel, in southwest Baghdad, were dangerous. But on Saturday night he finally relented and walked her to the local market to buy ice cream and do some shopping. He took his brother as an extra precaution.

What they witnessed on the way was worse than either could have imagined — even after four years of war — and would rip apart their mixed Sunni-Shia neighbourhood in a frenzy of hatred and bloodlust.

Near the shops, a group of children — Sunni and Shia — were playing football on an empty site. As Selim, his wife and brother, walked past, two cars pulled up. Four or five men in tracksuits got out and opened their car boots. They pulled out belt-fed BKC machineguns, a weapon known in Iraq as “the harvester” for its ability to kill lots of people quickly.

“We heard the shooting of the machineguns. It was so loud and continuous we thought they were targeting us,” said the 28-year-old Shia, his eyes red and brimming with pain.

But they were not the targets.

“I started looking, and they are shooting the kids,” he said. “Eight of the kids already fell on the ground. The guys kept shooting, they just wanted to make sure everyone was dead.”

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. rappers Snoop Dogg and Sean "Diddy" Combs have canceled the British dates of their European tour after Snoop was denied a visa to enter Britain, his record company said on Tuesday.

The Home Office would not comment on individual cases, but said the government had the power to refuse entrance to anyone whose presence would "not be conducive to the public good."

There's a huge food court in the local mall-and after I grab my "Aunt Anne's" pretzel and Diet Coke I usually sit at a table directly across from a food nook staffed by members of the ROP.
I do that because there's one woman who works there-long sleeves, covered hair, ball cap-and she's NEVER up front without a male.
So I sit there in my jeans and polo shirt and ball cap, wanting to tell that poor woman that slavery is illegal in the US, and wondering if that woman and her keepers realize that they are being observed by their worst nightmare-a libertarian/right, patriotic, zionist, Jewish born Christian WOMAN!

Don't believe ole Yusef aka Cat Stevens EVER liked women. At least that's the major impression I had when I saw him perform at a small, mellow concert in California WAY back when. Our group saw a smiling, sexy sweet and totally innocent looking girl (this was the early 70s) silently climb onstage as he was crooning and instead of reacting as any other folk artist of the day, he sneered distainfully and backed away from her like she had the plague and his goons manhandled her as if she were a serial killer. We were shocked as this behavior seemed so out of character for the Moon Shadow persona Cat had. When I heard he converted to Islam, I was not surprized in the least.

My Mrs. talked to the lady we've been helping out. The court system finally caught up to the scumbag "ex" and she got some money out of him the other day. Now he is only 6 months behind on his support, but at least she has money for groceries and utilities now.

And guess what? When the jerk moved out of the house so she could move back in with the kids, he moved all their stuff into the basement, then took out the sump pump and now the basement has 2 feet of water in it and all their clothes and stuff is ruined. My Mrs. is going to call our plumber and have him go over and replace it so they can at least live in the place. The children (16 and 13) don't ever want to see their Dad again after all this.

Sure enough, the US gets the blame for the Gaza sewage eruption:

The Water Authority's Kawash said Gaza's poor infrastructure was to blame for the accident.

Several major sewage treatment projects funded by foreign donors, including one near Umm Naser, were frozen after Hamas won elections last year. The U.S. and EU consider Hamas a terrorist group.

"We had a project to treat sewage in north Gaza, it was worked on for two years," Kawash said. "We built a pressure pipe line and pumping station," he added. "But it was stopped after ... troubles began."

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum blamed the "sanctions against Palestinians, including Gaza and the West Bank" for the condition of Gaza's infrastructure.

The Israeli army offered humanitarian assistance to help clean up the spill. There was no word on whether the offer had been accepted.

This utterly leaden predictability is very tiresome.

Widow attends massacre trial wearing Mohammed cartoon
MADRID – The widow of a man killed in the Madrid bombings attended the trial of Islamic radicals with a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed with a bomb on her T-shirt.

The judge in charge of trial on Monday asked security guards to check the woman’s T-shirt and ordered the cameras to halt live transmissions.

Initially, he thought the woman could been a relative of one of the 29 accused and thought she might have put some kind of message on her T-shirt.

The T-shirt was a copy of the cartoons showing Mohammed on top of a bomb which were first printed by a Danish magazine and which caused disturbances in Muslim countries around the world.

The judge decided the woman was free to wear what she liked and could come back to the court if she wished.

Thanks. I just couldn't understand why you got so mad at me until I went back to what I WROTE. Then it made sense.

BTW, my ex-wife has done many things in the same vein as your wife's ex. Although nothing like that. What a creep.

Sounds like we have much in common. Except that I am not a professor.

Do like your dresscode. My son goes to an all boys private school and they enforce a tough appearance code which is a real help in teaching them how to dress out in the world.

Thanks for the praise, but I'm not that noble. My motivations for helping out are entirely selfish. Unfortunately, I have to look at myself in the mirror every morning, and I want to be able to look that guy in the eye when I do. I could not turn away form people I know who are in need, do nothing, know I could help, and still be able to live with myself.

Have you ever seen the poem Man in the Glass? This is taped to my monitor in front of me right now and I try to live by this:

When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.

For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.

He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.

You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the guy in the glass.

Sewage Flood in Northern Gaza Kills 4
Mar 27 08:33 AM US/Eastern
By IBRAHIM BARZAK
Associated Press Writer

UMM NASER, Gaza Strip (AP) - An earth embankment around a cesspool collapsed Tuesday, spewing a river of sewage and mud that killed four people and forced residents to flee from this village in the northern Gaza Strip, officials said. A local official blamed shoddy infrastructure in Umm Naser, a town of 3,000.

A 70-year-old woman, two small children and a teenager died in the sudden flood, and 25 people were injured, said Dr. Muawiya Hassanin of the Palestinian Health Ministry. Many of the village's houses were submerged or seriously damaged.

Fadel Kawash, head of the Palestinian Water Authority, said the level of sewage in the pool had increased over the past few days, creeping up the earth embankments around the pool until one collapsed, "causing the sewage to pour toward the village."

Ziad Abu Farya, head of the village council, described the scene as "our tsunami."

Think Islam isn't gaining ground?...think again...

..Hirsi Ali under threat in US
This brings to mind the point Hugh Fitzgerald has often made -- about how much more dangerous, difficult, expensive, and uncomfortable massive Muslim immigration has made life in the West. Yet no one dares to examine immigration policies in that light -- as a national security issue.

From Expatica, with thanks to Anna:

AMSTERDAM – Former MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali is now in danger in the US as well. Her security has been stepped up for the past three weeks. Because of concrete threats, she is now receiving the same level of protection as she previously needed in the Netherlands, the Volkskrant reports.
Hirsi Ali had more freedom of movement when she first arrived in the US last September. Her lack of freedom in the Netherlands was one of the reasons for her move.

The forced isolation made it impossible for her to continue in her position as MP at the time, she said. The Liberal VVD politician had to travel by armoured car in the Netherlands, accompanied by six bodyguards. In the US just two security workers, who kept an eye on her from a distance, sufficed.

International Women's Day – Cartoons in Arab Press Criticize Women's Status in Arab World
By: O. Winter

On the occasion of International Women's Day, March 8, 2007, the Arab press published numerous cartoons dealing with status of women in the Arab world. Some focused on the women's role as housewives who spend their time cleaning, cooking, and caring for the children, and on the men's role as figures of authority who exploit and oppress them.

Other cartoons criticized the hypocrisy of the male-dominated establishment, ridiculing male public figures who give lofty speeches on Women's Day, but in actuality do nothing to promote women's equality.

Still others emphasized the contrast between the spirit of International Women's Day - celebrating women's rights and liberation - and the actual status of women, who are still oppressed and deprived of their rights.

The following are examples of the cartoons:

NO WORDS FOR THIS STORY...

..Maid jailed as she held baby
By MOHAMMED ASLAM


A MAID, who had an illicit affair, was jailed for a month as she stood in court cradling her illegitimate baby.

The 24-year-old Sri Lankan kept her pregnancy secret until she gave birth to a boy in the bathroom of her Bahraini employer's house last year.

She tried to hide the baby after being disturbed in her room while feeding him shortly after the birth, but was given away by his cries, the Lower Criminal Court heard.

The maid was jailed after she admitted to repeatedly sneaking an unknown lover into the Muharraq house without the sponsor's permission for illicit purposes.

She met the man while he was doing regular maintenance work at the house and their friendship developed into a sexual relationship, the court heard.

The woman admitted repeatedly allowing him to enter the house without the sponsor's knowledge and eventually got pregnant.

She kept the pregnancy secret from her sponsor and his family, eventually giving birth alone in the bathroom, the court heard.

She bathed her baby boy, wrapped him in a towel and took him to her bedroom to feed him.

There was a knock on the door and she hurriedly wrapped the boy in a towel and put him on the roof of the neighbouring house.

But the baby boy started crying and was discovered by the family members, the court heard.

The woman of the house also discovered blood spots in the bathroom and confronted the maid, who admitted everything.

U.S. Navy Launches Show Of Force Off Coast Of Iran
(AP) DUBAI, United Arab Emirates The U.S. Navy on Tuesday began its largest demonstration of force in the Persian Gulf since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, led by a pair of aircraft carriers and backed by warplanes flying simulated attack maneuvers off the coast of Iran.

The maneuvers bring together two strike groups of U.S. warships and more than 100 U.S. warplanes to conduct simulated air warfare in the crowded Gulf shipping lanes.

The U.S. exercises come just four days after Iran's capture of 15 British sailors and marines who Iran said had strayed into Iranian waters near the Gulf. Britain and the U.S. Navy have insisted the British sailors were operating in Iraqi waters.

Cat Stevens made some beautiful music before he converted to Islam. But I don't buy his music because many years ago I read that he contributes to Hamas. This was way before Hamas was elected to the terrorarchy. Didn't he have a song called "Peace Train?" Guess us females aren't allowed on it. Go ahead, Yusuf. Try making peace without mommies in your midst.

Regarding that huge sewage spill in Gaza. On a human level, I feel badly for those who lost their lives and and their possessions. I certainly will not dance for glee and hand out sweets to celebrate. But I can't get away from the fact that those are the people who dance for glee and hand out sweets whenever there's a loss of Israeli or American life or property.

The Pals may be drowning in sewage, but at least Arafat's widow is safe in Paris. At least all that international aid didn't go to waste. You can't live in Paris and not get the good coif.

What more, in the way of prophetic signs, do these people need, to slough off their terrorist leadership which keeps them mired - literally - in crap? This was being repaired until they voted in Hamas and the foreign aid ceased. But Israel will get blamed for this, of course.

The Islamic State of Iraq Issues Regulations for Women Drivers

The Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), which incorporates several Sunni Iraqi jihad groups and was declared by Al-Qaeda on October 15, 2006, is attempting to present itself as an actual sovereign state. For example, its official statements are released by its "Information Ministry."

On February 13, 2007, this ministry complained that some satellite TV channels are wrongly attributing its official announcements of responsibility for military operations to "Al-Qaeda in Iraq." It said: "We in the Information Ministry demand that all the satellite channels adhere to the principles of professional media [ethics]. One of the most basic [of these principles] is not to falsify facts and not to change names, but to maintain accuracy." [1]

As part of its efforts to present itself as a state, on February 14, the ISI published recommendations for women drivers that were submitted by the ISI's Shura Council to the Office of the Prime Minister [of the ISI]. [2] Unlike Saudi Arabia, which completely bans women from driving, the ISI permits them to do so, but with certain restrictions.

The following are excerpts:


"The driver will not be younger than 30 years of age.

"[She may drive only] with the consent of her guardian.

"She must have a license from the Women's Driving Education Center.

"She must dress modestly, without [jewelry or makeup].

"She may drive only in the city… not in the suburbs or in rural areas.

"Women may drive only Saturday to Wednesday, 7 AM-8 PM, and Thursday and Friday, 12 PM-8 PM.

"The driver must carry a [mobile] phone in case of emergency.

"In case of problems or a malfunction in the vehicle, she must call the Women's Traffic Center.

"Upon receiving her license, [the driver will] pay a predetermined sum… [entitling her] to auto repair [services]…

"A Women's Traffic Department will be established…

"There will be Women's Traffic Centers in various parts of the city, supervised by senior clerics…

"A [woman's] driver's license is subject to annual renewal…

"[If a woman commits a traffic violation], the representative of the [general] Traffic [department] will contact the Women's Traffic [Department, whose employees will be the only ones authorized] to write her a ticket or to communicate with her at all.

"Anyone violating these rules will be punished, without exception, since any violation offends the [women's] honor and jeopardizes state security.

"Penalties:

"Anyone talking to a woman driver will be sentenced to no less than one month in prison and will be fined; anyone found guilty of pestering, teasing, or pursuing a woman driver will be sentenced to no less than eight months in prison and will be fined…

"If a woman driver is found guilty of immoral or illegal conduct, she will incur the following penalties: on the first offense, her license will be revoked for no less than six months; she will be fined 500-1,000 riyals; she will submit a guarantee to the Women's Traffic [Department] promising never to repeat the offense, and her guardian will receive official notification of the offense."

Female Ump to Work MLB Exhibition Game
A rookie fresh from the minors is about to change the face of baseball: A female umpire is set to work a major league exhibition game for the first time in almost 20 years.

Ria Cortesio, ready to start the season in Double-A, will be on the bases Thursday for a game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs in Mesa, Ariz.

"I'm looking forward to it," she said Monday night. "There will be a lot more people in the stands than I'm used to."

No female umpire has ever worked in the majors during the regular season. Pam Postema was the last woman ump to call big league exhibitions, back in 1989 - she was in spring training for two years before getting released.

Cortesio is the only female umpire in professional baseball. At 30, she is starting her ninth year overall and fifth in Double-A.

Slender and athletic, she cut her ponytail a few years ago so she wouldn't stand out on the field. She also uses a low grunt to call strikes

The latest ROARING from the Brit Lion over the kidnapping of its sailors:

Britain's former ambassador to Iran, Sir Richard Dalton, said "different phase" could mean generating pressure on Iran from the international community.

"I expect he means that we shall have to step up criticism and generate additional international pressures on Iran," he said.

"It could be that they think that by dramatising the fact that these people were taken on an international mission while in Iraqi waters even further, will give Iran pause and give them a chance to rethink."


Yeah, criticise and dramatize the event, that should do the job you f'ing LOSERS! Iran is laughing at you fools. A government of Nevillie Chamberlins. This is the reaction of Moonbat govenments to utter humiliation on the world stage. Put on the Vagina Monologs or something...dramatise the situation. I suggest you break the glass and pull out the magic dialog stick and go wave that at the Iranians...use judiciously.

Mubarak called the referendum exactly a week after the parliament approved the amendments, leaving many voters uninformed. One voter, house painter Hassan Abdel Salaam, spoke for many when he told The Associated Press on Monday: "I swear to God, I don't know what I'm voting for."

Egypt holds an election and no one comes! They do ban religious parties (which is Arabic for the Muslim Brotherhood) but 26 years of 'emergency' rule was voted out.

Sadly, this vote just digs in the Mubarak termite and speeds the day when they collapse and the MB moves in. One day there will be hearings on who lost Egypt. The truth is that Egypt lost Egypt. It is very much a failed state and the Islamists are incapable of fixing it.

Here comes another installment of failure for socialism/communism. Remember how the MSM hailed the administration of socialist/communist Michelle Bachelet in Chile? Well, lookee here:

Purge amid Chile transport chaos

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has sacked four ministers, as polls suggest falling support for her government.
The last few months have seen protests in the capital, Santiago, over the introduction of a new transport system.

In a national TV address, Ms Bachelet said her government owed an apology to Santiago's residents, especially the poor, for the chaos they have faced.

It is the second big cabinet reshuffle since she took office in 2006. The first one followed student protests.

In office about a year, and the transportation system has collapsed.

Transport Minister Sergio Espejo - one of those removed from his post on Monday - had been the focus of criticism since the Transantiago transport system was introduced on 10 February.

With the Transantiago, large areas of Santiago - a city of about 6m inhabitants - were left almost devoid of public transportation, forcing people to walk long distances to catch a reduced number of buses.

I had a lady umpire in college for a douleheader, a father and daughter team. She did a real good job, made sure she was in proper position to make the calls in the field, did a good job behind the plate of defining her strike zone for me and it was the same in the 7th inning as it was in the 1st inning, and she never quit on a pitch until it hit the mitt. Could not say the same for some of the men umpires I had. Hope things work out for this lady.

Irshad Manji, a self-described "Muslim refusenik", speaks with 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon about Islamic reform, her new partnership with former terrorist Hassan Butt and Ijtihad (pronounced “ij-tee-had”), Islam’s tradition of independent thinking.
...
As a social entrepreneur, Irshad has launched Project Ijtihad, an initiative to develop the world’s first leadership network for reform-minded Muslims. In that capacity, she was recently named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.

3 wood,

I think I really would have enjoyed your classes. My favorite professor in college was a moonbatty feminist political science professor. I took her classes every chance I could get. I really respected her because she did not tolerate BS from anyone. Students were not allowed to be late to her classes. You showed up early or you showed up on time, period. Students also had to dress appropriately. Students were not allowed to bring food or cellphones. Talking was prohibited during her lectures but class discussions were quite lively. My favorite rule of hers was if you turned in a paper that had more than three typos on it you received an F on that paper. I don't know if she actually enforced that dictum, but students weren't about to find out the hard way. You better believe they proof read any paper they turned in a gazillion times. Her logic was unassailable. This was after all a college level political science class, not a remedial English class.

What I came to appreciate (and appreciate even more in hindsight) is the fact that she viewed all those transgressions as proof of a fundamental lack of seriousness and common courtesy.

My disgust for their abject cowardice, and lets stop playing with words. Political Correctness is cowardice, for thousands of years it was known as cowardice, but in the twentieth century we allowed the gramascian whores to re-define language, so:

teenage rebellion = self expression

national or group cowardice = Political Correcness

Brainwashing = Higher Education

Hatred of Christianity = Seperation Clause

Hatred of men = Progressive Thinker

Hatred of humanity = Right to Choose

Hatred of Women = Islam

Hatred of Freedom = Democratic Party

You're cute :) (NOT sarc). Actually, it's not really first thing as it's almost 10:00 and I'm up around 5:00 to start my day so I've a bit of a jump on most people. Perky, you say? Honey, my attitude was not always this positive as I have finally pulled myself out of the primitive slop of negativity that I had allowed to pull me down because of a shattered marriage. I've also made some positive life changes that I'm totally committed to and I greet each day as a new opportunity to enjoy.

I have a temper (French and Italian ancesters - watch out!) and I am passionate about the things I deeply believe in while at the same time little events like watching momma sparrow teach her little ones to fly from the back fence moves me to tears.

You are right... Fortunately you are aligned with the right side and with the likes of people like Laura Ingraham who have compassion on those with physical ailments. The liberals have no compassion on anyone who disagrees with their ideology. I am thankful I am of the party that does have compassion on those with different values who have cancer.

480 Occasional Reader  Tue, Mar 27, 2007 5:14:06am

G'day mates.

Mark Steyn ain't feeling too optimistic about Western Civ. in general, and Canada in particular.

It's often said that Canada came of age at Vimy, in northern France, in the Easter of 1917, when a nation of seven million lost over three-and-a-half thousand in a few days. Ninety years later, a nation of 30 million cannot absorb four dozen dead in half a decade without recoiling from the very notion of soldiering, which is--as our forebears understood at Vimy and the Somme--central to the idea of nationhood... in the space of one human life--four score and ten--we have gone from "coming of age" to a descent into a second adolescence full of frivolous posturing.

[...]

One of the oldest lessons of human history is that will trumps wealth: advanced prosperous societies are not beaten by even more advanced, more prosperous societies; the Roman Empire did not fall to the Even More Roman Empire, but to cruder forces on the fringes of the map driven by the old primal impulses when you no longer have even a vestigial survival instinct and, indeed, when such a lack is pointed out, you trumpet it as a virtue, evidence of your more highly evolved state.

Ann Pelo biography

Ann delights in young children. She has taught at Hilltop since 1992, where she is nourished by her co-teachers' commitment to growth and challenge, by children's passionate relationships, and by families' deep commitment to their children. Ann is particularly interested in anti-bias and peace education and in the philosophy of the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy. She earned a master's degree in Child Development and Family Studies from Purdue University. Ann is co-author, with Fran Davidson, of That's Not Fair: A Teacher's Guide to Activism with Young Children, published by Redleaf Press and many articles about Early Childhood Education….

All the Indymedia codewords, and not a shred of compunction about using power over very young children to push a totalitarian political agenda. I am as close to nausea as I have ever been about a posted item.

Those four dead Palestinians and the two hundred more who are missing were murdered (or swept away, as the case may be) by HAMAS and FATAH just as surely as if they had been lined up and shot with cameras rolling.
A UN report about this crap holding lake predicted imminent catastrophe as early as 2004 (IIRC, from an AFP article). The incredibly corrupt and ineffective FATAH had no desire and no ability anyway to fix such problems. Facts like this brought in the only other party in the region (and this is the most forgiving interpretation allowed the Palestinians), HAMAS, which is incredibly corrupt but extremely effective. HAMAS also has no interest in fixing such problems--unhappy citizenry is HAMAS' stock in trade.

The AFP article happily echoes the Jordyptian line that a lack of international aid caused the rupture. This is a lie. No amount of money could have fixed the problem if the local authorities refuse to spend it the right way.

They will probably not have anything 'heroic' or nice to say about him wanting to battle his cancer as they did with Edwards.

Shoot, they may even find a way to blame Bush for it via not doing enough to fund cancer research. I mean, Bush isn't doing enough for anyone according to the MSM.. He isn't saving Darfur, and it is his fault.. He hasn't approved enough funding for cancer research and that is why Edwards is suffering and the same goes for TOny Snow. They may even say.."This should be a wake up call to the president to get more funding for cancer research" blah blah...

Absolutely. We tried our best to eat at locals places and avoid the tourist traps, and the food was uniformly good. Some of the food - especially desserts were exquisite. Ice cream by Berthillon was amazing - better than any I've had back here in the States. Only thing is that the French like their beef softly mooing. They apparently haven't gotten hit by the food police to cook steaks through to 160F (medium well). Most everywhere served steaks just past bloody. I didn't mind that so much, but Mrs. Lawhawk liked her steaks to not move while on the plate. In fact, the French appear to completely disregard food police altogether as they have no problem with avoiding vegetables, heavy sauces, creams, wine, and temperature controls that are supposedly rigorously enforced here.

That poor child! To be that vicious at such an age is beyond belief. I wonder how her parents treat her behind closed doors.

While "parenting" can do it to some, others are born to it. Some theories are genetic and there is evidence that some instances are from environmental insults in the womb.

I would not assume that the parents are to blame.

I lived next door to a young sociopath and his parents were decent people who were very troubled by the problem, getting all the help they could, but something was just wrong with the kid. I'm talking about CLASSIC. Torturing animals, setting fires, vandalism, fights, the whole nine yards. It was quite sad but I would not for a heartbeat put it on the parents.

Day 3

Yo Blair, no half measures

Earth to terrorists: when Mr. Blair alludes to a "different phase" you should be very worried.

What we are witnessing is nothing less than a "work accident" writ large. For those who follow terrorism, a work accident is an event where terrorists concocting some horror in their kitchen or home labs make a (usually fatal) mistake. Terrorists, by their very nature, are hell bent on destruction normal safety precautions are of secondary importance. So too with the terrorist government in Tehran, they are so busy doing Death to America and Death to Israel that they forgot to honestly assess their situation: the kidnapping is a political work accident that may rise to war. That or they actually did honestly assess their situation and decided to do something desperate. Either way they have given Bush and Clair carte blache to really move things to the fast track with Iran and her nuclear ambitions.

The right play would be to use "slow bleed." Keep the killing going in Iraq, use the US democrats to slowly push the allies from Iraq until Bush leaves office. A go slow on the nukes would have been well worth an Obama or Clinton presidency. It would take Obama at least 3 years, if ever, to wake up to the danger of Iran but after he cuts US defense spending 40%, he would not have much to work with and by then Iran would have the bomb so it would be too late. Mrs. Clinton would figure it out in a year and a half but, after she cuts defense spending 60%, she'd have even less to work with and we would see some dipstick protege of Albright get drawn into Carteresque negotiations that would end only when Iran announces they have the bomb.

Fortunately, recent events are steering us from such dark scenarios: I am more optimistic than I have been in a long time that Iran's Ayatollahs will not make it to January 20th, 2009. Condi, Bush and Cheney have maneuvered Iran's regime to the precipice. They must be given top marks for taking the high road and letting Tehran provoke war. Iran has days before events begin spinning out of their control. Defusing the stand-off with Blair is the only thing that can save them from their work accident.

Former Speaker Gingrich recently pointed out Iran imports 40% of their gasoline; he did not mention that gas is ALREADY being rationed in Iran, unemployment is high and there is a very real fault line that runs through the Iranian leadership: you have the thieves (pragmatists) like Rafsanjani, who want business as usual with some terrorism and the murderers (Khomeinists like Ahmadinejad, who think the 12th Imam is coming up from the well any second). There is real discord and infighting for power, but right now, the murderers are firmly in control. The only man with complete power to save things is, if reports are to be believed, a very ill, if not dying Ayatollah Khameini. Allegedly, the seizure was done with his personal approval.

The odds that Iran's leadership will wake up in time to their mistake are very low. The US and Britain can use the current situation to use extreme diplomatic measures that might cause the regime to implode, collapse or provoke an actual attack justifying war.

Wars are lost when events spiral beyond a nation's control. The army fails, the people rebel or leadership is unable to function; Iran is very close to being exactly in that situation. I really do want the 15 hostages to come home safe: but no nation can bow to the likes of the people that took them. Kneel once to these murderers, and you kneel forever. I do know one thing: every day their captors remain in power is a threat to world peace and my very existence.

President Bush and Prime Minister Blair must know that if Iran goes down, al Qaeda, Hezbollah and Hamas will all be badly hurt. Iraq will be a better place, Syria will be driven to its knees and a significant triumph over terror will have been won; I have every confidence he will see this thing through to the right conclusion: victory.

The X is a sociopath so I've done a bit of research on it. I've not read much on a genetic/prenatal cause for it, though. The prevailing etiology seems to be the lack of a conscience.

The X's mom was a paranoid-schizophrenia and that definitely is genetic. I try to keep abreast of the research and look for any research into early-childhood indications in case the kid inherited it.

John Edwards plans to stop global warming. Good luck:

And just last week, I announced my energy plan and called on America to begin taking aggressive action to stop global warming.

Critical Deadline in Just 6 Days. Click to Contribute My energy plan calls for an 80 percent reduction in American carbon emissions by 2050—the amount necessary to halt the worst effects of global warming, according to the latest science—and to freeze the growth of our electricity usage for a decade. It calls for major investments in renewable, clean energy sources like solar and wind, and for America to lead the world towards a new climate treaty that would sharply reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

And in the process of stopping global warming, my plan would help spur a new energy economy to break our dependence on foreign oil and create 1 million new jobs.

But stopping global warming is going to require a commitment from all of us—industries, government, and individuals—to work together in common cause, and to make some tough choices.

For example, coal-fired power plants are a bulwark of American electricity production, but they produce a full third of America's carbon dioxide emissions. There are 150 new coal plants planned across the country that, once built, will be with us for at least the next 60 years. If these plants are constructed with old technology they will significantly increase our carbon emissions at a time when we need to be significantly reducing them. We can make sure that doesn't happen.

Action Alert - pt 1.
H.R. 1640, the Protecting Americans Fighting Terrorism Act of 2007
A Bill to Protect Americans from Legal Intimidation by Islamic Jihad


The six-imam issue has taken an unexpected turn. CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) has demanded the names of the passengers who reported the suspicious activity at Minneapolis Airport on November 21, 2006 so they can be included in their religious discrimination lawsuit. In response to this even more aggressive attack by American Muslims on America 's security, Congressman Steve Pearce, R-NM, introduced in Congress the "Protecting Americans Fighting Terrorism Act of 2007, H.R. 1640." This bill would protect Americans from being sued for reporting suspicious activities to law enforcement and security personnel. It is a very simple bill and is presented in full at the end of this Action Alert.

Please make your voice heard in support of this bill by asking your representative to co-sponsor H.R. 1640, the Protecting Americans Fighting Terrorism Act of 2007. Below is a letter you can send to your representative in Congress. Go to the American Congress for Truth CONTACT CONGRESS link at: [Link: www.americancongressfortruth.org...]

Email and/or fax the letter to your legislator. For much greater impact, ALSO call them at both their local offices and their Washington offices. Every phone call represents one thousand voters. They need to hear from 40 to 50 people about the same issue to make it their top priority. 40 to 50 people represent 40 to 50 thousand voters on Election Day. That can make or break an election. This is the power you have as a voter.

Email this action alert to all your friends and urge them to do the same. Ask your friends to subscribe to our emails and action alerts. It is vital that we have them on our list to be able to notify them about such important issues so they can become a voice affecting your community and our nation. If you have never called a legislator before, it is very simple. A staffer will answer, and all you need to do is tell them you have a request for your representative. Then ask them to support the bill. Since this bill was just introduced in Congress, the staffer might not know about it, so you might have to explain it. Be passionate, but polite. Get the staffer on our side. That will make our voices even louder.

Thank you for doing your part in helping me protect America , the dream that became my address.

Dear Representative ___,

As your constituent, I ask you to co-sponsor H.R. 1640, the Protecting Americans Fighting Terrorism Act of 2007, introduced by Congressman Steve Pearce, R-NM.

H.R. 1640
To provide liability protection for individuals who report
suspicious behavior to law enforcement agencies

"An individual shall not be liable for any injury or damages relating to such individual's qualified disclosure of suspicious behavior. A civil action for damages related to such disclosure may not be brought in any State or Federal court. For purposes of this section, the term 'qualified disclosure of suspicious behavior' means any disclosure of the allegedly suspicious behavior of another individual or individuals to a State, Federal, or local law enforcement agency or other security personnel that is made in good faith and with the reasonable belief that such behavior is suspicious."

As Americans, we must not allow ourselves to be bullied by political radical Islamic groups like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other American Muslims. Whether it is an intimidation tactic or a full scale attack, Americans have the right and responsibility to protect themselves, to be vigilant, and to participate on an individual level in protecting our country. We cannot allow the advocates of political Islam to make Americans wonder if they could be sued before reporting possible terrorist activity.

As a voter I, as well as all my friends, colleagues and associates in your district, will be monitoring your vote on this issue.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Your Name

Tehran Wants to Swap British Sailors for Iranian Officers Detained in Iraq- Iranian Military Source.

London, Asharq Al-Awsat- A military source close to the command of the Iranian Al-Quds Brigade revealed to Asharq al-Awsat the motives behind detaining 15 British sailors in Shatt al-Arab on Friday. He said the decision to take in the British military elements was taken at an emergency meeting of the Higher Defense Council in the light of a report received by Brigadier Qasim Sulaymani, the commander of Al-Quds Brigade, and communicated on 18 March to General Hasan Fayruz Abadi, the armed forces Chief-of-staff.
Asharq al-Awsat learns that the report contained a warning that the operations undertaken by Al-Quds Brigade and the Revolutionary Guards have become exposed to American and British military intelligence after the arrest by American forces of Brigadier Tayshizri, the commander of Al-Quds Brigade operations in Iraq, and his assistant, Brigadier Qayim, and three of their aides in Irbil, and the subsequent abduction of Jalal Sharafi, the representative of the Intelligence Ministry at the Iranian diplomatic mission in Baghdad, in addition to the disappearance of Colonel Amir Muhammad Hussein Shirazi in Turkey. Sources said he has defected but Iran says he was kidnapped. He is one of the most important intelligence officers in Al-Quds Brigade in Iraq.

The Dogg is "devastated," says he came with a message of peace and that his "past" (deeply buried after all of 11 months) is behind him. He wanted to appear with Puffy Combs to demonstrate to his fans and to youth around the U.K. that peace with a former enemy is possible! You see:

Me and Puffy come from a background where with the East Coast and the West Coast, there were a lot of differences in the hip-hop community.

Got that? If an East Coast and a West Coast rapper can put it all behind them and come together to make gazillions of dollars in a joint appearance, then why can't U.K. youth all unite in peace and love? And why should poor Snoop be banned from entering Britain just because he and five members of his entourage were arrested on charges of violent disorder and starting a brawl the last time they came to town, when they scuffled with authorities at Heathrow because someone in the party was denied entry to British Airways' first-class lounge?

bwahahahahaha

I was in Paris for pleasure, not business. I took Mrs. Lawhawk there for a second honeymoon. More of my observations of my trip there are on my blog (just look in the Paris label).

Paris is an amazing city, but like OR notes above, there's something quite rotten in the country. It's dying - literally. Fertility rates are insufficient to maintain the current population (but are the highest in Europe excepting Ireland). They've got huge issues with unemployment, economic growth, and they're not going away anytime soon.

The French leadership think that leadership is best defined by doing anything and everything to oppose the US on foreign policy issues. That might help with the Muslim population back home, but undermines their long term prospects.

I've discussed this with PhD's and MD Psychs and they agree they are about 1-3% of the population and sometimes VERY successful. One I know (can't say how for confidentiality reasons) is quite well known - I am comfortable that the vast majority of this board would recognize him, but he has gotten great press for years (good at manipulating the idiot press, who just want a published story).

Sewage 'tsunami' in Gaza.

An earth embankment around a cesspool suddenly collapsed Tuesday, spewing a river of sewage and mud that killed four people and forced residents to flee from this village in the northern Gaza Strip, officials said.

A local official blamed shoddy infrastructure in Umm Naser, a town of 3,000, for the disaster.

A 70-year-old woman, two small children and a teenager died in the sudden flood, and 25 people were injured, said Dr. Muawiya Hassanin of the Palestinian Health Ministry. Many of the village's houses were submerged or seriously damaged.

Mark Steyn on the Quebec election:

The Liberals were reduced to Quebec’s first minority government since the 19th century, a new if somewhat goofy “conservative” party is the Official Opposition, and the Parti Quebecois – the separatists – were pushed into third place and below 30% for the first time since 1970. On the last point, I was struck by the politically correct torpor of much of the post-mortems : reams of analysis without any discussion of whether the PQ leader’s homosexuality had been a liability. Andre Boisclair was a fetching young gay who admitted to doing coke – not back in his student days (as David Cameron did) but while he was a government minister (which is certainly what it would take for me to get through Quebec cabinet meetings). But the minute the gay cokehead became party leader all the papers (French and English) wrote that this demonstrated how Quebecers were the coolest, most relaxed, most progressive folks in North America. Maybe on the island of Montreal, but not in the rural hinterlands, where Quebecers are prone to all the various “phobias” that so distress the liberal mind. I was struck by the number of lifelong separatists who simply resented being subject to Queer Eye For The Separatist Guy and, even by the standards of the ever lamer bluff of Quebec “nationalism”, couldn’t buy the idea of a gay hedonist as their founding father. There’s something a bit feeble about the media’s refusal even to discuss this except through vague evasive allusions to the difficulty M Boisclair had “connecting” with Quebec voters.

Right on, as usual. The Globe & Mail had a piece about how the rise of the "intolerant " ADQ party was a sign the scourge of racism was returning. The alleged xenophobic attitude of the ADQ was blamed for preventing the "immigrants" from assimilating. And here I thought the it was the supremacist attitudes of certain "immigrants" themselves which prevented them from wanting to assimilate.

We had a family trauma last night. It turned out that NMB discovered a tick on...er, Senor Feliz (as Ed the weatherguy would say). Some rubbing alcohol, trauma of NMW heading for his private parts with a tweezers, and a few tears later, problem solved. Good thing he told us right away.

it is a reduction of a credit, not a reduction of a tax.

you are likely right, it'll only be available to the 'economically challenged'

I guess it could have been worse. I had forgotten that he has a birthmark/mole/freckle in that same area and thought it was another tick. Good thing NMW corrected me...can't imagine trying to pull off a freckle with a tweezers (especially there).

Yes'm. We just need to all be unemployeed people who depend on welfare and foodstamps.

and vote Dem.

They all got rich (both before they joined government and especially after they joined government) and now they don't want us to become so.

while they prospered under the reagan administration, after he shook off the effects of the Carter screwup... they now want to ensure their wealth and lifestyle by making ways for US to not get there.

One rule for us, another for them.

Sen. Kerry, general scum, fought to have his state have an option to check if you wanted to pay the old higher taxes, or "bush's" new lower taxes... under the idea that the tax cuts were bad and that good americans should WANT to pay more taxes...

some people in his state took the option to pay the higher older taxes... Kerry (who fought hard and loud for it) did not.

736 gettinby

eh, the Republican Party is moving to the left, part of the network of 'get in, stay in, gravy train time"

they move to the left because the undecided voters are moderates, so wishy washy that they don't even know who to vote for until election day, so they're catered to by both sides.

They know that a good conservative won't vote Democrat, so they don't care about your or I.

Since third parties really don't stand a chance of being elected until the conservatives settle in on one to all get behind, there's nothing that can be done.

My prediction is that the democrat party is going to slide to the left until it is wholly enveloped by socialism (not too far away) then will become a useless and marginal party. The Republican Party will be the new liberal party and will be in rule for a few elections, until the Conservatives stand up and, behind one party, elect new people... creating the new conservative party.

it is a scary time though... the voters have learned that if they vote liberal, they get lots of government programs so they don't have to produce on their own... at that point, they are dependent on the government and at that point, our country dies.

When my older daughter was little, one Sunday morning we were sitting in church and she had her head in my lap and I was stroking her hair during the sermon. I felt a little bump behind her ear and when I pulled her hair back, there was a tick~fully engorged. Instinct took over and I immediately pulled it off and then I thought, "What the hell am I gonna do with this tick now?", so I put it in the bulletin and slipped it under my foot and stepped on it. POP! It's amazing how loud a popping tick can be in the sanctuary of a church!

Won't be to Oak Island until June this year. Still planning on Hilto Head in late May, tho. I'd quit this job before I'd give that up!

A lot of people have thrown a wide variety into Hilton as I understand it.

variety of things ^^^

Obama being Obama

Hillary unpopular with... Americans.

In the fight for equality between sexes, the Dems still don't get it. (Passing laws to give special consideration to women because they're women is NOT making the sexes equal)

World's Climate Zones to vanish by 2100! Ahh yes... the everlasting tactic of making an outragious claim with a modifier that it won't come true until everyone who hears it is dead...

821 redstateredneck  Tue, Mar 27, 2007 11:20:07am

I s'pose you'd be taking a chance to google Hilton Head, wouldn't you?

Now Princess, do you want a Man? who makes you wait to use the mirror, and who looks prettier than you, or do you want a Man who lets you be pretty, and watches everyone else check out his beautiful wife (but not too closely).

Besides, It don't matter what I do, it ain't gonna help. My bride is happy she's the pretty one, so am I.

"If they were truly concerned about women's equality, what they would look at is the horrific way women are treated in other countries around the world," she said.

"There's a very serious problem of gender imbalance around the world," Wright argued, pointing to "sex-selection abortion," inheritance rights, property rights, and "literally being treated as second-class or sub-class human beings."

"If these women truly cared about inequality, they would be focusing their attention on these horrific injustices happening in other countries," she said.


Amen and amen!

Ok, over this one heads should roll.

if this goes unopposed, I would want the impeachment and removal of every congressman in Washington and even the President himself:

War Funding Bill includes 20 Billion in Pork Spending. The part that pisses me off the most? 100 million of it is to be set aside for the two parties to spend on themselves in the 08 election.

Get rid of every person who wrote this earmark. Get rid of them, cut them off from society. Do not sell them anything, do not give them anything, do not speak to them, do not acknowledge them in any way.

Toss out every congressman who votes to give themselves money under the guise of 'supporting the troops'. We do not need them as Americans. We do not need them as people. cut them off from society. Do not sell them anything, do not give them anything, do not speak to them, do not acknowledge them in any way.

Our congressmen, by this bill, are trying to line their own pockets on the backs and via the sacrifice of our soldiers.

from the article in my last post:

“Congress will have to make the choice between booze and balloons or bullets and body armor,” John Hart, a spokesman for Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., told The Examiner on Monday. Coburn and a handful of other senators hope to shame their colleagues into stripping the pork out of the war spending bill.

Highlights of the House and Senate education bills

Congress loads up $20 billion in pork

Democrats plans to revoke war authorization

The Senate bill is $18 billion more than President Bush requested for military operations. The House bill, which passed last week, exceeded the administration’s request by $21 billion and included money for spinach growers, peanut storage and citrus farmers.

If the Senate bill goes to conference committee as written, the two chambers may find themselves fighting over the best cuts of pork.

Coburn and his fellow pork foes will offer a series of amendments this week aimed at eliminating fat domestic spending or redirecting it to crucial needs for soldiers, sailors and airmen.

“Maybe this is what Democrats mean by ‘phased redeployment’,” Hart said.

Senate Appropriations Chairman Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., Monday defended the extra spending, describing it as “common sense and good economics.”

bless you Coburn. I love Oklahoma all the more now.

Piss on you Byrd, you and your KKK mentality. you and your selfish hateful and greedy way of life. Piss on you and your roads, bridges, buildings and parks named after you. You live in a tower of pleasures, but are no more than a white-washed tomb, a brood of vipers.

Pelosi put all that pork in there to get votes trying to get a bill that would go through with enough votes to override a veto.
Dumb bitch.

Lance..they were talking about this on Fox & Friends this morning...and they were saying, if someone could get a hold of the NAMES and what they were getting through this bill, by way of additional pork, it should be publicized. anyone know the details of WHO and WHAT, yet?

we don't need her. cut her off from society. ignore her and her cronies. we don't need to sell them products or services. Grocery stores don't need to sell her food, home centers don't need to sell her (illegal) workers lumber. see how well her money goes when no one will accept it in exchange for goods and services.

See how much good her money is when a mechanic refuses to repair her cars.

Coburn from OK (one of my guys) set up requirements that the Congressman's name and dollar amounts (and for what) all pork and earmarks went to.

one of the first things the Dem majority did was reverse that rule so that just the dollar amount shows on the report, not the name of the congressmen or to whom it goes.

833 LanceKates  Tue, Mar 27, 2007 11:39:49am
And it includes $3.5 million for the Capitol’s guided–tour program and $20 million for, in part, insect infestation control in Nevada, thanks to Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Harry Reid... and the REPUBLICANS are referred to as having a culture of corruption?

Mr. Harry "I and a friend made a buttload of money on land I owned by manipulating Zoning Code in Las Vegas" Reid?

unfortunately, I live in a country of 240 million people and, what, a dozen of us are upset? (including news people on FOX)

not nearly enough to ask for accountability.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Lance,

It's good to know I wasn't alone out here in the WEB. You do have two good Senators, we DID have one good one and a RINO. Now we have a Lib Dem and a Rino.

Oh well, when you have two large cities with many uneducated people, you get lib Senators and Governors.

Have a good one, the weather is beautiful here today.

856 LanceKates  Tue, Mar 27, 2007 12:31:14pm

855 Widow

we do. We have Oklahoma City/Norman and Tulsa.

However, as we're a conservative state, we have conservative programs that aim at ending dependence rather than fostering it... so the VERY liberal wing of the liberal parties don't last here for very long.

Even our Democrat governor got an A rating from the NRA for his positions on gun control.

unfortunately, a dem is a dem and they are all for raising taxes, passing new taxes and wasting money.

on average, for my wage-scale, 33 to 35% of my income is given to the government, between national and state (not counting what I give in sales tax and all the other types of taxes and fees paid in normal living)

Imagine what could be done to combat poverty if people kept that money... like getting a 33 to 35% raise, which would be matched with only a 15 to 18% increase in the prices of goods.

right there we raised the pay of all the poor people by 33 to 35% without increasing wages, but managed to only raise the cost of living by 15 to 18%.

That beats out the Minimum Wage deal by a ton.

857 LanceKates  Tue, Mar 27, 2007 12:33:34pm

There was a Cindy sheenen vigil here in OKC, I went and took pictures. they REPORTED to the press that they had a crowd of over 250 or something like that.

I was there, taking pictures. not more than 75 showed up... 75 MAX. Counting the plethora of speakers and press people and security.

Oklahoma is a state liberals don't want to come to. Maybe it is because when you come into my house and try to force your will upon me as a criminal, i'm allowed to shoot you.

858 LanceKates  Tue, Mar 27, 2007 12:43:33pm

Pieces Train
by Dawg Stevens

Now I've been happy lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately,
dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be,
some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a pieces train
Oh pieces train take this country,
come take it apart again

Now I've been smiling lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun

Oh pieces train sounding louder
Glide on the pieces train
Come on now pieces train
Yes, pieces train holy bomber

Everyone jump upon the pieces train
Come on now pieces train

Get your body-bags together,
go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer,
and it wants to make pieces with you.

Oy vey. Yet another example of the mythical "moderate" moslem.

861 Jimmah  Tue, Mar 27, 2007 4:25:53pm

hiker
as we all know, there are many decent, genuinely moderate muslims out there. But they are not the ones we always see being promoted by the media as 'moderates'. Yusuf Islams attitude to contact with women is the same as Mohammed Atta's for all I can see. He may be moderate as rabid fundamentalists go, but that's about all.

862 Tommy Peters  Wed, Mar 28, 2007 6:39:15am

The route this blog has taken amplifies such a situation against logic and common sense and nothing withstands that. Water will find soon level when hate is removed from the calculus. The result is a dose of comic relief. I've had enough .. gotta zzz.

#707 Lan - (late for the schwanzvergleich but f.t.r.) This musician is of Ethiopian origin, and speaks German without a strong foreign accent, I suppose he doesn´t understand much of the language of our WWI allies the Turks. Ammar may be a pompous blowhard, but if he contributes to German Muslims speaking German to each other this is a good thing.
